Pirelli p zero @£94.50
goodyear gsd @£88

P-zero's will last you around 4000 miles - avoid at all costs

I have had Toyo Proxies on mine, not that convinced. I found Yokahama A539's to be good right until metal is showing in all weather and you would get more miles than a pirreli. But one of the best all round value tyres for me is SIMEX, they do gorgeous patterns and have that big overhang for your rim protector -

Give my mate a call, this is his family business and tell him Andrew Murphy told you to ring, his name is Oliver Green:

Chemiculture - Land Tyre Service
Gaydon Rd, Bishops Itchington, Southam, Warwickshire CV47 2QZ
Tel: 01926*613889

He will send tyres to your door and may save you a couple of quid

Cheeky
I just drive them to a fraction of wheelspin most of the time, but I never hang about apart from on speed humps.

Just treated myself to a pair of Ultracs - 215/45/R17's - Very impressive. £100 a corner though - but well worth it and the tread pattern can only be described as sexy!

Quick Fit Always used to sell Vredestien as their own branded Tyre. I always had the Snowsports on my Patrol. Brilliant Tyre,

I've just put Goodyear Eagles on mine and they transformed the handling of the car far more than I thought possible, but they cost a fortune. They look like they are wearing better than the P6000's, but hay, what wouldn't.

Had to stick with my T5 on a budget theme so went for the kumhos at £57.50 a corner..... just two corners of course, rotated the other two get another 3k from those no worries!
used the saved money to do the wheel bearing / air leak. All running A1 :thewave:

Sometime thats what you have to do mate :wink:

I cant really afford £100 each so might end up going for another pair of what I've got depending on the price :pirate:
