Tyres Tyres Tyres Tyres and Tyres
well having spent what seems like a lifetime reading forums and reviews, I've come to the conclusion that tyre choice is fraught with danger !!!
I'm after a set of 4 18" tyres. The tyre reviews web site is a good place to start, but even that is full of odd reviews. the last two in the list have no reviews. Id set a budget of £80. I think unless there's a eureka moment or someone offers something unbelievable, I'll be trying the Barum, only in as much as they are partnered with Continental. Falken Ziex ZE914 15 £88.89 Toyo Proxes T1 Sport 22 £96.00 Barum Bravuris 2 31 £75.00 Kumho KU31 44 £77.00 Nexen N6000 60 £61.00 Nexen N8000 62 £61.00 Federal SS595 90 £57.00 Maxxis Pro R1 NA £69.00 Barum Bravuris 3HM NA £92.00

Nexen N8000 have coped with everything I could throw at them on the rear of the ZT, not so the Wanjitown Siming Mountain Lawnmower and Dangerous Toy Co. snow tyres on the front
Neither tyre would have been my choice, but the Nexen apart from being a bit noisier than the Dunlops on Frosty seem quite capable Brian |

Costco have £50 off at the moment if you buy 4. They sell Michelin and Bridgestone. Mine are only 195 65 15 but if you buy the 4 the Michelins work out at £49 a corner all in. Bridgestones were quoted about £6 cheaper. It's worth being a member. |

Round, black, legal and made by someone who I have actually heard of.
I usually buy from these manufacturers, depending on price and or what offer they have, Michelin, Good Year, Dunlop, Continential or Pirelli I tend to favour Michelin on my every day vehicle. Beyond that, can it really make much difference when it comes to a particular tyre manufacturers model? I try not to give it much thought, as you can probably tell, because it is a minefield, fraught with mountains of facts, figures, fanfaronade and BS. |
