If going for Michelin, go for Pilot Sport, not Primacy (eco 'dangle berries').  ....

I never had a problem with Primacys ......

Anything Michelin is coming out at £100 a corner for me.

....
Any thoughts?

Put decent premium tyres on ...... you've a young family in your car

Think yourself lucky ...... that buys half a tyre for my R Class 

[ted_one]

Just put 4 B F Goodrich on the MV6 at £70 a corner,seem OK

I've got a set of Micheln PS3's on my Elite, and I can't fault them - quiet, good wet/dry grip, although they didn't like the snow on Tuesday morning! I got stuck and couldn't go anywhere, but that was more down to the car, not the tyres (or the driver...!!). At least a rwd BMW got stuck as well....
But having tried many makes over the years, its Michelins for me.

Yup, good thoughts there. Also another reason for splashing out a bit on 3.2, as that is the family car

But I'm used to £100 for 4 tyres, almost brand new..... that come with a free alloy wheel

The last four tyres I bought were from my Smart Roadster 205/50/15 and were Uniroyal Rainsport 3 ... £60 a corner and stick to the road like the proverbial to a blanket both dry & in the piddling rain.

Just spent £229 on two dunlops fitted from blackcircle.  O yes thats for 235/40/18..

And no mr tunnie they are not for sales with free alloys....not yet anyway

[baggers]

Cheap really, the Michelin Pilots 225 55 16 fitted to the Omega when launched back in the 90's were £200 each 

[Lazydocker]

I've been reasonably impressed with PS3's and would certainly consider them again.

For you, the Accellera Alpha will be more than adequate

[05omegav6]

Got Dunlop Blueresponses on the trolley... £15 cheaper than 18" budgets on the Omega

[2boxerdogs]

Always had Michelins on my 2.6 came with them from new cost a bit more but absolutely no problems at all 26,000 miles from each set & still legal when replaced.

[Webby the Bear]

So where are you ladies getting your ps3's in 225/55/16? Local tyre supplier told me he couldn't get them. And I can't find online

Same here kept with the Michelin's but on the 2.2 I've put Continental Contipremiumcontact 5 because they have a very similar tread pattern to the Pilots but the Continental has a better compound and there is a vast noticeable difference in ride quality, grip (especially in bends) and confidently hit standing water, and they don't suffer the age cracking that Michelin unfortunately still suffers.
