forfordsake Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 When buying them, what should I look out for in terms of quality and price etc my size is 225/40/18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isetta Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 hard to answer that as we don't know what your priorities are : dry performance, wet performance, snow/ice performance, noise, price, brand recognition, how long they will last Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frembrit Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 As above.... My priorities are dry/wet grip and least is cost (although I try to get the best deal I can of course), so I normally end up spending 拢180 per tyre which last about 15K miles...need 4 next year 馃槀聽when I swap back to them from Winter wheels/Tyres.聽 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenFord Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 However many members on this forum, that will be the number of different recommendations you'll get. If you don't have a budget, just buy the most expensive you can afford, if on a budget, you can still pick up brand new roadworthy tyres for about 拢40! (Like I did...) 馃槂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forfordsake Posted November 15, 2019 Author Share Posted November 15, 2019 Hi thanks all for your input. Just everyday use I guess. Do all new tyres have the same amount of tread in millimetres, how can I tell which tread is better I have found one for 拢46 Inc fitting but I can't tell if it's any good, why is the 拢63 one better? 聽 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcaouolte Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Those two are quite similar. The cheaper one has a slightly better fuel economy rating (C is better than E by about 3%, although tyres only account for about 20% of total fuel used). Both have similar wet weather performance (B). You won't notice the noise difference between 72dB and 71dB. All new tyres have the same tread depth (about 7mm) but some compounds are harder than others and will last longer (the tyre label doesn't show this important bit of information).聽 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isetta Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 some tyres have rotation direction arrows on. I don't like those because it restricts how you change change the wheels round on the car eg if you have one which wears down edge more and you want to move them round to equal up the wear. Neither of those two look like the tread is directional, unfortunately they don't tell you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
