sorted byBut, cheaper does not always mean poorer quality, and expensive does not guarantee better quality. I always research the tyres I buy, and read the labels attached to them, particularly the wet grip rating. You would be very surprised to find that some of the 'Premium' brands have very poor wet grip ratings. (edited)
You know those stickers on tyres? The ones with noise, wet grip, economy? A lot of these are produced using a very flawed testing system. I've seen many "non-brand" tyres with A or B wet grip, means nothing. The big brand tyres are expensive for a reason - they will keep you on the road, they will stop you in the wet - the non-brand tyres just cannot be trusted to do the same.
If you're doing 10 miles of city driving a day and that's it, sure, go as cheap as you like. If you do any kind of long distance, buy premium, false economy (depending on how you value your life) not to.
I guess it depends on the type of driving. My missus driving to the shops gets the cheapest tyres. The ones on the car the goes to work along windey b roads gets the good tyres
I'm still stuck with the original run flats on my 335d. Literally can't wear them out. They are like granite. Awful tyre.
What you usually find is people swap out there worn out 6 year old michelins or bridgstones (excl those garbage runflats) for a pair of cheapos and marvel in all the new grip. Declaring the (new) cheap tyres are better than the (old and worn out) premium tyres. Suprise.
Ive nothing against cheap tyres (you drive accordingly) but what makes me laugh is mrs jones gets her merc or x5 to impress all the other mums and has it sat on the cheapest tyres she could find. Not cool. (like getting a £1k dress and wearing slippers)
2nd time they somehow managed to scuff the wheel getting the tyre off.
3rd time the wheel was so unbalanced that I'm sure it was dangerous to drive. The whole car shook at 60mph. Got it rebalanced elsewhere and all was OK.
Id avoid at all costs, or just buy the rubber and get it fit somewhere else.
Goodyear Eagle F1's on the good old dirty 435d
No wonder, those are beasts lol
Never fall for any 'free' offers at tyre centres....get what you need doing done and get out, quick.
I have them on my Golf R. Great tyre in the wet but found they wear very quick and PS4 are the better all round tyre.
Have you remapped the 435d, they are very tunable
Totally agree. Getting tyres changed recently and a guy walked in with a small child and asked for the cheapest possible tyres on his car. They came to like 40 quid each and he tried haggling them down lower. It was embarrassing. They were replacing pirellis he had on there. He then had the audacity to ask if it would be cheaper if he went to the garage over the road! All of this, whilst he was wearing Timberland shoes, Levi jeans a superdry hoodie and ray ban sunglasses. It's beyond belief anyone would skimp like that, especially when driving a kid round.
no-one cares what cars you drive pal, nice try at a brag though.
When it comes to tyres expensive is generally better, yes there may be exceptions where one certain cheaper performs better in a few categories but a budget or mid range tyre will never outperform a high performance tyre like these, generally tyres are split into 3 groups budget, mid and high performance, these would be considered high performance and for very good reason and the price reflects that, buy cheap and get poor performance, sorry to say but you get what you pay for when it comes to tyres.
I have these on my car and I just got the front 2 replaced last month and got about 21k from them and that was driving them hard which I think is pretty good.
I would like to know which cheap tyres you believe outperform more expensive ones.
Have you seen the price of the 1.9 GTi! Mental money. I sold my Renault 5 GT Turbo back in 2004 for £200 if only I knew the future!
I buy them everytime, class tyre. Wish they don’t my size on a7, first time I can’t find them. Excellent wet, fuel and noise.
I would personally go for these.
Run-flats! The Mods should be banning people for using such language on here - disgusting word
My local, well rated and reviewed indy tyre shop recommended premium budget for my car due to a cut in one of the front sidewalls and uneven wear on the other front tyre.
All 4 tyres changed for the price of one Bridgestone run flat.
Car drives better (there was still way more depth left on the old tyres but admittedly they were a few years old) and the transfer box judder at full lock went away.
if we all had that attitude though there wouldn't be much of an NHS left (not that there is anyway). Yes, they should be maintaining them, but I'd much prefer funds diverted to Patient care than a nice smooth tarmac carpark. Don't forget, the NHS is a bureaucratic nightmare, it Probably takes 6 months plus a team of project managers to fix a pot hole, and cost way more than you think.
Disagree with the Hankook comment - I've run their tyres on hot hatches in the past without any issues and alot of German car makers fit them to their cars...so to call them a cheap brand is a little unfair. I'd be putting them in the mid-range bracket with the likes of Falken, Vredestein (even they are a good tyre) and Uniroyals etc. Budget cheap brands I tend to associate with Sunny, Kuhmo etc
I think you misunderstood my point completely, yes i agree 100% premium tyres are the only way to go, but my point is if Michelin are selling a tyre for £200, and continental are doing the same size for £150, it doesn't automatically mean the Michelins are better.
And the ratings are a European standard. I don't think manufacturers can fudge the ratings as they see fit
Nothing wrong with cheap tyres if you research first.
Actually this works on the 18's for my other car - Only £20 cashback from Michelin and the PS4's aren't available in this size from F1 for some reason but £155.50 net for 2 x 225/40/18 PS3 is a bargain! (edited)
Did you actually read my full post? Or just choose the bit that you preferred to respond to?
Your assumption that "The big brand tyres are expensive for a reason", could also mean to others, like me, with more sense than money, that brand snobs just love to spend their money, and brag about in on forums like this.
I bloody hate running flats! I drive like Miss.Daisy 90% of the time so any car I own or use the tyres last me donkeys year lol
Yeah mate the 435d was mapped within the first week I picked it up also had a Ghost Alarm fitted the day before. Its one of my best mates cars, but hes moving to Bulgaria so I'm looking after it and putting it up for sale this week! Sold his CLS63 for him last year.
I've got a YouTube channel and need to get a video of it up on there, my channel seems to get quite a decent amount of views from when I show people round the cars as I'm far to indepth but guess that's a good thing! I've helped loads of people make their mind up after watching a video of my cars then they buy one and let me know
Never drove the 206. Had a 205 1.9 GTI loved it. I'm leasing the Golf car as a everydayer. Easy to drive but fun when you need it
Some of the hot hatches from back in the day are crazy money. Wish I'd kept my Peugeot. Still have my carrado VR6 and E36 M3. Wish I owned a E30 M3
Depends how much your life and your kids and your wifes life is worth I suppose
What kind of car, what sort of mileage, what roads do you drive on?
Or we can guess...
Wonder why they don't use budget tyres on F1 cars or super cars?
