Would personally fit Runway Enduro 916+, excellent grip, suitably rated for the estate, perform well for the cost, but are a touch noisy Lazydocker has them fitted to his 3.2 in 16"
I haven't noticed excessive noise at motorway speeds, to be honest. They just whirr a bit when leaning on them at sub-60 MPH.
I've tried a few sub-£100 quid tyres recently, Nexen included, and I reckon these are the best of the bunch, and the cheapest.
cool where can i get them from in a 225/55/16?
If you're feeling lazy, Blackcircles.com, or your preferred tyre place should be able to order them in
Of top of my head Runway Enduro 916+ 225/55/16 99W XL, sure LD will confirm
Rings a bell
Either these or Accellera Alpha's, although so far these seem to have the edge. Must add though, I've only had them on for a few thousand miles and not an entire life cycle
I do find the Enduro's a touch on the noisy side but, as Kev says, once at motorway speeds they aren't too bad (unless you're still leaning on them hard
) but be warned that they whir like a wheel bearing under hard braking and cornering
