I'll be sticking a set on next week in 225/55/R16 so will be able to compare directly with Alpha's in the same size :y :y

To add, whilst I think they are very well suited to the Omega, I can't vouch for them elsewhere.  :y

But I suspect the purpose of the poll is to establish reliable tyres for the Omega  ::)

These two tyres I'm after will be for the front, But these runway's can't be any worse than these cracked tyres currently fitted.

Why is the voting for your particular tyres so slow? :o :o :o

Come on chaps I am interested to see the results! :D :D ;)
Not voting as no experience with alphas.

Find one of their places close to you and go fitted, that way there's no extras :y

Ps have voted, obviously ::) they suit 99% of peoples requirements, and for the money I very much doubt that they can be beaten :y
I'm sure they will be good enough for a 2.2i, Hopefully they will last a decent amount of miles is my only concern, Have found one garage on their website classed as a "Indipendant Garage" 4/5 star rating other garages are too far. I presume Balancing, Fitting, New Valve etc are included ?

I used Accelera's on my 2.9 scorpio and found them very good, My mother had runways on her fiesta but will never buy them again as they are noisy and didn't care much for grip either
