I need 2 new tyres for the rear of my car. Is there no point being as picky as I would be if I was choosing 2 new tyres for the front?

Get some 100 width wheels and tyres and do some maaaaad skids.
I say get the best you can, that way when the fronts are wearing, you can swap them round.

Yes. Sudden oversteer is harder to deal wi than under steer.I need 2 new tyres for the rear of my car. Is there no point being as picky as I would be if I was choosing 2 new tyres for the front?

Just changed 2 tyres -195-16 45.
Were Continentals but got Hankook Ventus Prime 2.
£20 cheaper than the Ford supplied Continentals.
Much quieter and very good wet or dry.
So much to recommend .
Cheers
Martin

Are the Hankooks better than Continentals? I have Hankooks on from new, and it looks like it'll be Continental next but I might swap them over.

I've tried Hankook and Kuhmo tyres and while they were quiet from new when they got to 10-12K miles they were noisy and tramlined on the motorway so I always stick to Continental they also last longer.

Hi Diesel pig, first time for me with Hankooks ,as far as I can tell the version I have got are a new updated type and after I had them fitted I checked out reviews on line and most were full of praise which I was pleased about, of course it all depends on what the reviewers had previously, what car and type of roads/driving they all did.
No evidence of tramlining as yet but only rotated 900 mls on them.
I hope I get more than 12K out of them,only time will tell if not back to drawing board.
Cheers
