New Tires

I have a black edition fiesta and I'm in need of 2 new front tires ( 1 due to a nail and another to replace a cheap one after an accident)

Currently have the continental 205/40 R17 v84 XLs.

Anyone have any suggestions for 2 replacements? Looking at 92 per tire (fitted) for the continentals.

    I can recommend Yokohama's R1, so far I have no complaints sins fitting them and have done 6000km so far

    Check AVON, last time I bought tyres they were at least £20 cheaper then Continental Contact Sport 5 and had the same "A" ratings and spec.

    The Avon's look okay for the price - as you say same spec. How's the wear on them?

    Any downsides to running the 2 Avon's (Front) and 2 contis?

    Look on tyreleader, blackcircles, camskill for good prices.

    Michelin PS3 seems to be the most popular replacement tyre on fiestas with 17" wheels. £63-£65 on tyreleader.

    Agree with Mark, check blackcircles and the like. The local fitter around here for blackcircles happens to be a Ford garage lol

    I ordered from blackcircles recently. . . (recommended by people from here, thank you) and the delivery came early too, 2 days early.

    Conti sport 5 all the way. Excellent tyre especially in the wet

    Agreed. In this size, they are the best road tyre. Performance on a very wet Castle Combe circuit was impressive.
