GingerFlame Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 In terms of what? Fuel efficiency? Noise? Grip when wet? Grip when dry? What size at you after? :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyd1 Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 205 40 17 and a good over all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I'd suggest the Michelin pilot sport, absolutely brilliant tyres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cablelad Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 As above, great tyre. Just avoid those cheap Nanking and Wang dong tyres. I need more meat on my tyre as these 40 profile's are a mare on poor roads. Either gonna get 215/40/17 or 205/45/17's. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I'll second that about cheap tyres, I call them ditch finders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zico Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 My Zetec came with Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance (195/55/R15) tyres from the factory. http://www.blackcircles.com/catalogue/goodyear/efficientgrip-performance/195/55/R15/H/85/f?returnurl=%2forder%2ftyres%3f&tyre=32617992 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 87 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre-Size/17-Inch-Tyres/205-40-17-Tyres.htm The Michelins do very well in those reviews. Lots of people recommend the Continental sport tyres too, but it looks like they wear out quite fast going by those reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 The Continental tyres are quite soft so do wear quick same as perreli tyres are quite soft and wear quick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 87 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 The Continental tyres are quite soft so do wear quick same as perreli tyres are quite soft and wear quick Yeah that's what I thought, but on those reviews people seem to think the Michelins have better grip and last longer which seems unlikely. I think you're right though and the actual grip levels are a bit subjective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyd1 Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 Hmm looks like it's the michelins then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Michhelins have always been the best tyres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexh89 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 I've got pirellis on mine and I think they're brilliant :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Fair enough, I'm not saying they are bad tyres but that's just my opinion. Would you ever try michelins ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexh89 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 I wasn't debating with you mate, just expressing my opinion. I think I've always gone with pirellis coz they're slightly cheaper lol and I thought I might as well stick with what I know. I might try something else next time though. Does anyone know if fyrestone tyres are any good? They were advertising then at my local kingsway a few months ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 I know mate haha, I mean Pirelli would be my next option. My dad used to be a tyre fitter and he said fyrestone tyres are pretty good aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNC Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Well I've had Continental premium 2E's on my giulietta and pretty quiet, good in the rain and a great all rounder and have been on my car since new and its now at 27k miles and still have 4mm on front and 5mm on back so may change them at 30-31k so i'd say pretty long lasting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil 87 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 I've got pirellis on mine and I think they're brilliant :-) I had Pirellis on my last Fiesta and was also happy with them. Does anyone know if fyrestone tyres are any good? I would have a look on http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/ for reviews of the specific tyre you're looking at, and some other sites have good info and reviews too. It's worth spending some time searching for the best tyres at a good price when you think they're the only part of the car in contact with the road :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexh89 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Awesome cheers mate. Also, the standard tyres are 205,40,r17s is it with spending a bit more on wider profile tyres, so the total diameter would be larger. Would this make a difference to speed or handling? I know the Speedo would be slightly out of sync but just wondered if it would affect acceleration time or anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 87 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 ^ You should be ok as long as you don't change the diameter too much, but personally I'd stick with the standard size tyres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
