What is your preferred tyre brand for the Vectra?

I've try to list all I can think of, and have put it alphabetically over two polls.

The other poll is at:

Uniroyal rainsport2 for me.

Why Uniroyal Rainsport 2 - good value for money (c.£100 a corner fitted), excellent handlind in the dry AND the wet, good looking tread pattern and, by all accounts, great wear rate.

I should, if the maths is right, get 18k miles from the fronts on my GSi by the time they get to 3mm.

I haven't got a preferred choice just whatever is around at the time,last set i bought was kumho £200 a set, not bad tyre but now got fulllrun £190 a set and these seem alot better,don't know if its got to do with the car being lowered recently but they stick to the road like glue,so i'll vote other........

I paid £85 a corner (225/45/17) (£75 + £10 fitting), but unfortunately someone said on here that Camskill aren't selling them anymore

Just voted for Pirelli, but only because my first choice (Linglongding ChampGoodTyres) weren't there. lol

Whats wrong with Michelin pilot primacy...best tyre on the market in my humble opinion.

After having had a set of budget £100 a tyre unheard of brand i have got rid before they were worn out. Wet weather grip was non existant, wheels spun in the wet when accelerating in 3rd!. Now on Toyo T1R all round at £147 fitted etc. each. Very good wet or dry not too noisy but may wear faster. Normally get 20k out of a set. Had Rainsport2 which were very good but wear off quick on inside edges. The original Conti's were the best but with the weak pound are way too much money these days. Tyres are 235x35x19 on snowflakes.
