What make of tyre did the police run them on? presume that they were of a decent make aand were quite grippy?

Cheers,

Goodyear.
£25 per corner, irrespective of tyre size, last I heard, but that was a couple of years ago now, pricewise......

£125 surely?

nope..... twenty five of your finest British pounds...

well lets see, in my experience and from talking to long standing members in here.

falken 912 crap tyre avoid, 15k
Dunlop sport maxx 2, 20k i think he said. good tyre noisy
Dunlop Sp 9000 12k iirc tad cheaper, noisy
above are driven hard esp the Dunlop owners.

Michelin primacy 30k hard compound not much grip compared to above but still far better than falken,driven steady,very expensive.

Conti sc3 currently fitted excelent grip wet or dry quiet stable, no complaints except price is a bit steep, suspect they wont last long, will be happy to get 15k out of them, does anyone else have experience of sc3 life? just as a guide...?

...driven by the Daisy family? :-/

I think 25k is reasonable, but of course depends on many factors.

The Nexens that the previous owner put on my facelift estate are doing well 22k and decent amount of tread left.

Previously I got 25-30k out of a set of Khumos, and had good experience with Falkens (I think512).  Both handled fine.

My mini f/l elite is not doing so well. It has Barum's currently at 17k, will need changing soon.  Handling is ok.

Next set will either be Khumho KU31 (if I can spell it..) or Falken 452.   I don't see the point spending more.

Spend most of my time on the M40, but even in the twisties still find it good. Not at the limit, but 80ish down the lanes and its fine. Chuck it around round-abouts in wet or dry, grips well. But then again 4 pot engine is not that heavy, plus i am on standard suspension, not MV6  :-/

[iggy21uk]

No problem with two Falken tyres I have.

[robson]

On Conti contact 2 have got about 15,000
