Started ringing round for tyre prices
Budgetb £48.80 plus Vat
Cheapest Brandd were Dunlop Sport 01 @ £90 plus
Asked about Avons and they came in @ 80+
They are for a 3.0 Elite, want them on the rear, whats any ones thoughts on the Dunlops, I am aware that quite a few members are not fans of the Avons allthough I liked them on my GLS 195/60/15 I think they were.
Open to any ones thoughts. My car is an Auto and I have grown up a lot and dont power slide the corners any more (not much any way)
T.I.A. :y

Avons were not robust enough for my driving style, and lasted 4k on the rear of the tractor. The grip level was below par, IMHO, causing a lot of sliding around, which is probably what killed them.
Not used Sport 01, but am a fan of Sport Maxx TT, although I only get about 12k from the rears.

Contis may be more expensive, but offer good dry/wet grip (zero in ice though), and fairly durable.

2 options .. regardless of price issues..
if summer tires preferred : goodyear eagle f1 asym 2 (you cant use them on ice-snow)
if all season preferred : vredestein quatrac 3 (goodyear vector 4 seasons is 2nd in test)
