At the moment i have a mix of Continentals, Avon and a Goodyear i think it is.

I due for a full set so basically, are any tyres better or worse. Mainly motorway mileage. I need a combination between wear, wet weather grip and looks.

Any preferences?

Goodyear F1 GSD3's.

I have a set 17" on our 520 (2.2) tourer. Excellent all round wet/dry drip and quiet too. £400 from Bracknell tyres fitted.

Have 16" tubine wheels, not the option 17" sporty jobbies on mine shod with Michelin Pilots, seem OK so far.
However looking at the prices I may go over to Goodyear F1's when the time comes to change.

Same wheels as mine Harry - now you mention it, one of mine is a Michelin, not Goodyear.

I just wondered if anyone knew some standard size tyres that look really well. Daft as it may be, some tyres just LOOK far better than others.
