New Tyres On A D4d 54 Plate Avensis

[mightymac]

Hello all,

I have a 54 plate D4D Avensis. The front tyres are looking like they'll need changing over the next couple of months. I normally change all 4 at the same time (depending on savings).

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a good, all round, all weather tyre that is best suited to this kind of vehicle. Its currently got Michellins on and its blitzed through those in no time (quite worn when I purchased car - so no heavy footed comments please). I do a lot of mixed miles. Some motorway, some public, some muddy (due to where I live).

I normally go for the offers on the premium range, however does anyone have any experience of the mid range brands? i.e. Firestone, Avon, Hankook, Toyo?? There always seems to be offers on these tyres but I'm always reluctant to put them on.

Be interested to hear if anyones used the above and can comment.

Thanks!

Just had 4 x Continental PREMIUM CONTACT 2 tyres fully fitted £302 from here http://www.tyre-shopper.co.uk/ts/search/ty...ode=2055516CT5V

Very happy with the tyres and the service

Hi,

I always stick to Continental Sport Contact 2 tyres. I have now used them on 4 different cars, Avensis, Passat, Alfa 156 & A6 & they have never let me down. They are more expensive than other tyres, but they last extremely well & stick like glue.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Marama

I like that website for info. However I've just had 2 Bridgestone RE050 91V 225/45/17 put on my T-Spirit from my local garage. Cost £104/tyre. thats £20 cheaper per tyre than tyre-shopper.

To Mightymac,

Sorry cannot help you with tyre choice. But if you have TNS300ETA Sat/Nav system fitted in your car, remember to go into settings & use facility to show new tyres have been fitted if you want to keep your trip meter accurate.
