Title: Need new tyres soon
Post by: jereboam on 05 June 2008, 16:43:56
I'm sure I've seen a topic somewhere discussing the relative merits of various brands when attached to an Omega, but the search facility didn't turn it up.

What's best?  I've got Pirelli P6000 all round at the moment, and they seem fine to me - the car sticks to the road.  When I got the car it had some brand on that I'd never heard of, and it drives much better now they've gone.  

Any suggestions?

Conti Sports, Dunlop SP or Nankang NS2`s have all been used on our fleet of Omegas....no complaints.

Wouldnt have Michelins though.

I tried:
Michelin Pilot, Michelin Primacy, Michelin Primacy HP, and Continental EcoContact CP. They were all good, but the Contis were best....

I run Conti SC2 or Dunlop SP9000 on MV6, and Nexen on tractor.  Nexen good in dry, reasonably in wet, but when they break away, you have to be on your toes....

After a lot of reading around on here, I've finally settled on Conti SC2 - and very happy with 'em.  8-)

When I was at WIM a couple of weeks ago I opted for the Conti Premium Contact 2s.  Don't really notice any road noise difference now, just glad to have four identical tyres and not running the spare!

I think I've bookmarked a few posts about people's tyre choice in the past; I'll add them in if I find them.

Very happy with my Pirelli P7s, in the absence of being able to get P-Zero Asimmetricos with 55 profile.
