Fear not, Cem gets a bit excitable about tyre tests

The Kuhmos offer similar performance, but the Runways cost a third less. Your money, but £120 buys alot of petrol/beer/food*

Banter is one thing, poor advice is summat else altogether

this time I agree Al    
 
recommending 40 th order tyre is one thing , recommending a tyre at first 10 is another

[cem_devecioglu]

ok that much joke is enough..
 
I personally advice you physically check the tyre .. rub your hands ,feel softness+rubber and examine the thread design +wall softness..
 
and push the tyre downwards and try to turn it.. and compare with other tyres..   then choose accordingly with your budget..

So where can I obtain these - "Runway Enduro 916+, 225/55/16 97W XL" - quick phone around local outlets is not producing a result......

Thanks

Try www.blackcircles.com 

Enter the size in the boxes on the left, click 'Show me tyres', then 'Show more tyres'

Scroll down and you'll see them on the left hand of the second row, £68.64 each, fully fitted

Several people here either have them fitted or have had positive experience with them on the Omega, so tried and tested in the real world on actual cars

Just put two Runway Enduro 916+, 225/55/16 97W XL on the rear of our Estate - sourced locally - £68 inc VAT, fitted all in.  Have used these before on both the old Elite and old Elite Estate - no issues whatsoever, recommended as a result of practical experience throughout life of tyres on two different Omegas, now on rear of third

Yep, I've had a few sub-£100 a corner tyres and I'd rate the Enduros as good as any other so they are a no-brainer unless you are looking to splash out on a £120+ premium tyre.

I use what ever i can afford at the time.
 But winter tyres is another thread,that certainly fires up the banter and makes a thread go on might even draw our ex resident expert out of hidding.

Still waiting, and a tyre thread with only 2 pages
Wistfully thinks back to the old days two pages would have been the opening bid..
