sorted byThese autogreen are noisier and have noticeably less grip in the wet , but are lasting much longer ( i have done 14k so far and estimate i will get about 20k out of them ) . MPG is about 2-3 mpg less than with the Mazzini too ( was getting aroung 48 mpg in winter on mazzini , now only averaging around 45 mpg on Autogreens)
When they need changing i will get the mazzini's again , even though they don't last anywhere near as long.
It shows the EU tyre rating are not to be believed - both tyres were rated B for wet grip , but the mazzini had significantly more grip in the wet .
I don't see the sense in buying cheap tyres that last half as long as a decent tyre.
Buy some Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2's and they'll last twice as long and are also a great performer.
You will get more initial tread and that tread will last due to the superior compound that is used.
I have these all round.
Just to point out how long they last. My previous MOT 4 months ago, the rears were an advisory for approaching the legal limit. About 2.5mm.
I had the same tyres on the MOT the year before and got the same advisory!
4 months later and they are still above the legal limit.
That's 14 months of tyre wear. I've had the tyres on for nearly 3 years and I do 100 miles a day. (edited)
Considering tyres are the car's only point of contact with the road so are absolutely the limiting factor in any senses of grip, affecting acceleration, turning and braking, you definitely want the absolute best tyre money can buy.
And for those that say "well I only drive my little car to the shops", it doesn't matter what car you drive or where you drive it, the fact is that at some point someone else will do something silly and you'll have to avoid them, usually with emergency braking. Have a look at tyre reviews YouTube channel for the braking distances between the good and bad tyres. It's the difference between killing someone or avoiding an accident entirely. (edited)
Brakes and tyres are the 2 most important consumable parts of any vehicle.
Work out how much over the life of the tyres spending an extra £25 a tyre is and it's not a lot.
Buy the best tyre you can afford not the cheapest.
Wouldn't touch these personally. Good tyres are only a few quid more . Lay of maccis breakfasts for a week or two. Make the diffence before you know it.

Must be missing something ?
Fuel efficiency and grip are the two main factors for me.
If I’m not mistaken - the tyre ratings take into account the tyre sizing / speed etc. so often you can see a very different results across the same model, or a review at a A/B that then differs at the specification you require for your vehicle. (edited)
ive i had different tyres like toyo / autogreen / uniroyal and i didnt notice a difference in mpg at all
best tyres i had are good year and toyo but they not cheap but first time in my life i tried autogreen and they actually do the job i need them to do on a 95hp 1.4 207 without issue so i didnt see point using top brands when cheap do same for me anyway if i had a gti or something then yeah i would notice issues
also i stopped part worn tyres as they was worst then budget tyres i had good year 10yr old and uniroyal 4yr old part worn and everytime it was wet the car couldnt gain grip and nearly had a few crashes so i stopped buying part worn tyres and the side wall failed after 5 month with big cracks (edited)
Got well over 35K out of my last front pair and no problems with grip in the wet.
Hmmm..thanks but no thanks!
