    What car is it?

    As said a good choice of premium tyres there. It never ceases to amaze me how people scrimp on the very thing that keeps you alive!

    Conti's a re good, I am running Sport Contact 3s atm and very happy with them in the wet.

    The best road tyre I have every used on saloon/estate car is the Michelin Pilot Sports but it is reflected in the cost.

    My experience is car model and weight are important factors in choice too.

      Most important part of the car, def not worth penny pinching. I've had contis and michelins on my cars, always been happy with them. I had some avon ones once, they were total tulip.

        Contis seem to be good, is there much difference between the contact 2 and contact 5?

          I've taken to fitting Barum Bravuris on my Audi. They're the mid-price range from Continental and seem to last well and be comfortable, and stopping is fine. Best deal I've found is from National via their eBay site - especially good discount if you get two or more at a time (although it varies from time to time).

            I tend to look at this site to get an overall feel for how the tyre is like from others

              That reminds me it's always worth checking with ATS as they are owned by Michelin. They run 4 for price of 3 offer on Mich's regularly.

                Don't know TBH, have you checked their website?

                I had Eco Contact, but I don't think they had a number on as well. It was a while ago.

                    Only Y rating, you must have a slow car. A real car has (Y) and is allowed to use them legally

                      I recently bought 4x Avon ZV5's from Car Tyres Online | Brakes | Exhausts | Batteries | Tracking & more cheaper than anywhere else I looked.

                      Tyres last 40,000 miles for me these days as 95% of my journeys are on the motorway.

In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson
