Which tyres?

[Rav]

Time has come to prepare for the MOT. My car is a 52 A4 B6 1.9tdi SE 130bhp. I will need tyres.
Car came with Bridgestone Turanza all round.

Is this a decent tyre? Recomendations please !

Try the Uniroyal Rain Sport 2.

Its quite sad really but what i did when i decided on what tyres to get on a previous car was to have a look at a similar sized police car. my basis being if its good enough for a police car, its good enough for my vehicle. btw round my area they were when i looked at the time when replaced, goodyear nct 5. found them to be good gripping tyre and very hard wearing.

My audi is running on michelin pilot premacy tyres, seem to be good gripping tyre, well they have kept me on the road bearing in mind i have a quattro and the reason for buying this was a and b roads. enough said lol

I got NCT5 on my A4 and I've done almost 6K on the front and they are wearing well, handle nice in the wet too

just an aside,I was walking around the local car breakers and the number of bent cars with totally worn tyres was tremendouse....i would hazard a guess over half had highly warn if not illegal tyres on

well tyres are the only thing in direction contact with the road, so i think it pays to get something decent.

Generaly speaking, grip is directly proportional to wear, so it depends if you want a long life, a sticky tyre, an equal balance of both, or a slight bias towards grip and longivity.

I personaly use goodyear Eagle F1 tyres, they only last me about a year, they are soft compound, but they are very sticky, which is what i find most important.

running conti sport contact 2's, but car is in for service today and getting the new Toyo Proxes T1-R's fitted so will see how they are! they are suposed to have a little more roll on them than the conti's but grippy as hell.

Grip in the wet is the reason I use the Uniroyal Rain Sport, now in its second version. I really don’t care about wear rate; a pair of tyres is less than my excess.

I've been using Michelin Primacy for years and found them good grip with good wear. I've just upgraded to 17" 234/45 tyres and have fitted Pirelli P zero Rosso. These are a smooth as the Michelins which were 205/55/16 and have less hum on the road. I really thought 45 profile would be much harsher. Not the case. I really like these Pirellis, excellent in the wet too.
