My car has the standard (dull) 17" 5 spoke alloys with 2 x Goodride tyres on the front and 2 x "winda" tyres on the back. I'm sure the last owner put the cheapest ones possible to pass the MOT. Anyway, now I've covered about 500 miles in the car I've concluded the tyres are really bad. There's a lot of road noise above 40mph and I'm sure it's due to the **** poor tyres. They've got to go.
I had a set of 225/45/17 Hankook ventus v12 evo's on my last car and rated them highly especially in the wet and as a bonus the tread pattern looked very cool. This time the 50 profile means the prices are quite a bit higher.
Before I change them my questions are......what tyres do people here recommend? and how many miles are you getting on the fronts? I got 18K from the Hankooks on my turbo Saab.
Also...Should they be the Extra Load tyres?
