[GTI-Ross]

Looking to get 2 new front tyres ( one has a screw in it). Now i know you shouldnt cheap out on rubber, but just before Christmas, Tax due and insurance renewal, I need a semi-cheap tyre.

Looking to get some opinions, so please leave suggestion below. can stretch to £120 if needed.

And also, best place to buy.

Michelin PS3 @ Costco if you have one near by £120-£125 fitted...

Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetric 2's, think they're £100 from Camskill and are a really good tyre!

after looking on ebay, there are quite a fair good sets that only parts worn with 6+ mil on them for cheap and have very good feedback, may go down that route.

I'd go for brand new AS2's mate - or if you have Winter in mind some Goodyear UG8P's

Can't Beat a Vredestein Sessanta.

Very very good in the dry, AMAZING in the wet and work very well for a summer tyre in the snow.

£75 a corner in 17s from Camskill
As you don't post tyre size (WHY??? as 18s cost more obviously..) I will assume that's what you have ;)

I got 4 Pirelli P Zero Nero's in 215/40/18 for my new wheels for about £150 part worn!

They were from 2 different sellers but both sets have 7mm on them... This might not be to everyone's taste and obviously isn't the standard size for 18" on a mk5 but if you now what your looking at then its a good way to get cheap good quality tyres.

I second that, have these on my car, very good.

Bromsgrove midlands. Yokahammas C drive 17" for £80 18" for £105

I've had Falkens & now on Nankangs - surprising enough the Nankangs are actually alright. Not found their limit yet!!! Paid £54 a tyre (215/45/18's)

I'd avoid the 18's as these get very noisy once you wear past 50% tread.
Have had 2 sets of these and had enough.

Have gone onto Goodyear Eagle f1 Asym 2's and these are much better and a lot quieter.They offer equal grip to the Vreds in all conditions.

As your in bradford west yorks, check out clickontyres in shipley, you'll get goodyear eagle f1's fitted at approx £114 a corner and im sure there is still a fuel voucher offer on which will compensate the cost.

prices plus fitting, so £113.78 a corner, then £40 fuel voucher for two 18" tyres, so about the same as fitting part worns.

Ross, for your everyday 225/40/18 tyres?

To run during both the Summer and Winter look at the Goodyear Eagle F1 2's £105. Peeps keep telling me to get the Michelin Pilot Super Sport £120 although these are only available at Load Rating 88 at the moment and are more Summer tyres I'm led to believe.

For Winters have a look at the Nokian WRG2's £128 or Goodyear Ultragrip 8 £135.

Get them from one of the below (click the site name) Pretty much all the same and they all do a "we can match any price" thingy too so look at getting them from......

Can get the Nokian WR D3 for £118 delivered or the Goodyear UG8P for £128 delivered... my preference is the Goodyears (having used the Performance 2 versions for two winters), as the Nokians seem to have artificial reviews atm.
