You've heard TB say the SC5's are crap and I've said similar about tyres before ;) ;)

Of course... All the tests say SC5's are good but we now know from real experience that they aren't ::)

I need to try them next time our paths cross.
Indeed :y Hopefully by then will have a working solution to your other issue :y ( almost there, just needs a slight tweak, followed by a proper set up :y)

I'll avoid any tyre from:

1. Autogrip
2. Fullrun
3. Sunny
4. Sunew
5. Clear
6. Kenda
7. Wanli
8. Hi-Fly
9. Tigar
10. Triangle.

Although due to what I do, I come across cars with these tyres fitted, hence the reason realising how dangerous pretty much every single one of them is!

Personal preferences are:

1. Continental
2. Uniroyal
3. Dunlop
4. Goodyear
5. Michelin
6. Accelera (The best budget tyre I've come across).

Whats the general concensus on r16's tyres

any recommendations i do some serious miles in my estate looking for good grip and reasonably low road noise.

i am currently running on 4 different makes of tyres i know for sure i have a nexen on there the rest are various budget tyres. think one is a wanli but would have to check. want to change them in pairs backs first i beleive.

Would personally fit Runway Enduro 916+,  excellent grip, suitably rated for the estate, perform well for the cost, but are a touch noisy :y Lazydocker has them fitted to his 3.2 in 16" :y

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.

Al / LD, is it worth quoting the exact tyre you guys have in 16", including sizes, speed and load rating with exact model number?

Just to be sure Marie can get the fight ones. :)
