They seem to have excellent reviews with the exception that they wear too quickly.

£65 ish for 235/45/17.

Are the reviews relevant to the car though? We know, from expensive mistakes, tyre reviews are meaningless if not done on a similar car.

Ask Dr Andy B. I notice, from the pics in the gallery, that his are running on them.

I find it extremely odd how people still claim 'fitted and balanced'.  For starters, balancing is included in the fitting charge, and if it isn't, you need a new tyre fitter.  Secondly, in 99.625%* of cases the wheel is balanced and then fitted.  There are very few tyre fitters who fit the wheel and then balance it on the car.

I know I'm being a pedantic cock-end...... shoot me!


*That is an exact figure, maybe.
