Title: TYRE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MV6?
Post by: surj on 27 August 2008, 19:53:18

hello everyone i am a newbie on omega owners com and an autobahn stormers member. I have a lovely 2002 omega mv6 3.2 auto with the sports leather seats . It is in need of a new set of tyres and i was just wondering if there are any tyres that you can really recommend for such a powerful machine . I think the originals were the michelin pilots but are a bit pricey  :o  By the way the tyre size is 235/45 r17!! cheers! :y

not a fan of michelins - too hard, and go a bit slippery after a while.

Conti Sport Contact 2 reasonable, but tramline.

I tend to use Dunlop SP9000 on my MV6. Good grip, bit of road noise though, and tramline bad when getting worn...

I've just had continental sport contact 3 fitted by WIM.
So far really pleased with them, quiet ride, good grip wet and dry.
Would recommend getting alignment checked out too, has transformed the handling of my MV6.
