[Mr Skrunts]

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.

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)
