Hi all, I'm thinking of replacing my tyres, fronts are 205/60 R15 91v, rears are 225/55 R15 92v. Can anyone recommend any? and what sort of price should I be thinking of?

Thanks in advance for any pointers.

Regards

Sean

I've been running on Dunlop SP9000's for past two years or so and am very happy with them.

Prior to that Goodyear F1 NCT2 Eagles, and before that good old Bridgestone RE71's.

Dunlops get my vote on the S at least. Very good grip.

Thanks for the replies, interesting link Gerald, just checked the date of my tyres, using the method described (0289593 on tyre), which would suggest 1993,so only 16 years old - I've got tins of food older than that in the cupboard, hope the new ones last longer, bah humbug, they don't make tyres like they used to!!

Best Regards

Sean
