I'd vote for them too as a budget tyre :y

Or give Taxi Als Runway Enduros a go,in fairness they are ok just I've no experience of them on an Omega :y

£68 each, FITTED :y www.blackcircles.com much better wet performance than the Acceleras as well
similar performance to kumho ku31 I'd say. Very good for the money. Not a premium tyre, but defo a midrange tyre for budget money. :y

Although if you are after budget tyres, I guess you want plastic ones. Thus the TT's aren't suitable ;D

My current two front tyres are branded "Falken" which came with the Elite alloys i bought last summer have lasted well enough I suppose.... I'm just not sure how long it's worth chancing with the knowledge i now have of their potential condition even though it could well just be surface cracks... Considering the Omega's weight, most of our UK road's surface conditions and the way the Omega feels slower than you're actually going, I wouldn't want a blow out. I'll try and get some pictures of the cracks if the weather permits..

Just double checked and blackcircles have got the Runways for £68.34 each. That's 4 quid less than the Acceleras for a better tyre :y

Not much to decide ::)

Yep, I think I'd recommend them. They were shaping up pretty well before the exhaust fell apart. ::)

Looks like Runways it is then... So would you recommend blackcircles website to book and get fitted at one of their recommend garages or just buy the tyres from them ?

Find one of their places close to you and go fitted, that way there's no extras :y

Ps have voted, obviously ::) they suit 99% of peoples requirements, and for the money I very much doubt that they can be beaten :y
