Re: Tyres - Advice needed
I always replace my tyres with the manufacturers recommendation brand Lindy, the ones that came with the motor when it was new.Re: Tyres - Advice needed
Thanks OGF. I phoned my local garage and asked which tyre would they recommend and was told the Falken tyres were premium grade and very suitable for that age of car!!! When I mentioned there was only an £8 difference between those and the Bridgestone tyres, he suggested I might get a few more miles from the Bridgestone!Re: Tyres - Advice needed
OGF is right in saying that it's false economy to buy cheap tyres, hence the derogatory use of "ditchfinders" as a common name to describe them.Re: Tyres - Advice needed
Thank you both for your replies. That website Blackcircles is excellent and recommends the Bridgestone Turanza.Re: Tyres - Advice needed
Re: Tyres - Advice needed
I have to declare an interest here as I worked directly in the tyre industry for over 30 years - all in the technical side of the industry too. I worked for Goodyear and, latterly for Firestone (Bridgestone/Firestone) Technical Center Europe based in Rome, Italy.Re: Tyres - Advice needed
Re: Tyres - Advice needed
I have fitted all Falken tyres on one car as I am fed up paying out Continental prices and have not noticed any difference. Plus Falken are taking on the "Big Boys" in competition and quality. Otherwise, I use Michelin Primacy.
