If you check and read the second link there are some customer reviews on the tyres, thats the reason I posted links as I thought the OP may find of interest.

Sorry for trying to help

No offence intended, it's just the importers website is hardly going to publish bad reviews, now is it.

I bought a new car recently and it came with a set of budgets fitted.

Catch Powers at the front specifically.

The car is a Renaultsport Megane (who buys this kind of car and fits budgets! boggles my mind).

They aren't actually that bad - I've certainly driven worse - i.e. they don't just fall off the road in the wet.

I still wouldn't though.

The ratings are meaningless, as they are provided by the Manufacturer of the tyre, rather than by any independent testing. I'm sure it's perfectly safe in the boot, until you have to fit it.

Just watched a police program on the TV and guess what? A car had an accident, young woman,with other cars. Police checking her car, she had a blowout on a tyre. Police man looked at and checked it. It had been repaired twice. And policeman said that if she had spent a few more pounds on a good quality tyre instead of getting it repaired, she most probably would not have had an accident.

A policeman once said on a TV motoring program that you can't tow a trailer with a motor bike.
