Best Budget Tyres

[Chris SRi]

Can anyone recommend any good budget tyres?

I'm going to need to replace all 4 on mine before too long.

I know that they may not grip as well as the ones that cost 2 / 3 times as much, but I will only be driving to the road conditions anyway so this doesn't bother me too much.

At the moment, I've got the tyres that came on the car:

Fronts: - Goodride 215 / 50 / 17
Rears: - Michellin 215 / 50 / 17

I want to stay with the factory size of 215 / 50 / 17, even though the 225 / 45's are slightly cheaper.

I know that the tyres have a lot to do with wheel drone, which is why I'm asking for recommendations.

Thanks in advance.

I have falken's on mine at £88.50 each (inc vat). Theyre in between budget and branded and they dont wear or drive any different to the continentals I had on before

Check camskill.co.uk they have Falkens advertised cheap. £65 each.

If its budget tyres you are after because of cost, then why not change the size to 225/ 45, as they are a direct fit/ replacement and cheaper.
To me its a no brainer. Bigger tyre, less money.

I can only recommend Michelin as thats what ive always used, and they last a very very long time.

Ihave just bought a set of Falkens from camskill for my winter wheels--only bought them as i have them on my SRIs,good tyre for the money,i had accellera's on before that and they were awful,so noisy and not good in the wet.--Falkens for me everytime-----Dave And Camskills is in your neck of the woods!!!

Got a full set of nexens on mine and they are a good all rounder at £70.00 a tyre...
Obviously not quite as good as the goodyears that came off the car, but a good compromise...

£320 fitted

ive put budget tyres on my sri 1.9 cdti 17" since i got the car 3 years ago and have never had any problems plenty of grip, last ok i guess get about 6 months to a year out of them, got arrowspeeds on them, personaly unless ure going round a track the budgets will be fine ive not lost it on bends or understeered in the wet or anything.

[rozzer2006]

they were the first set i got for mines like the arrowspeeds i had no problems- the nexens that is.
