I have Goodyear Eagle Ventures all around on mine, I find them brilliant.

Jaime does not like them because they aint very grippy, but mines a 2.2 soooo who cares?  ;D

Got 15k out of them so far, according to the service history they were changed about 10k before i got, so thats 25k miles so far.

Looking at the ware rate i should easily get another 10-15k out of them.


My had has the record, he had dunlop on his facelift when he first got it, he did 50k on a set!  :o

Think our secret is not to corner like Jaime  ;) - Going in a straight line, we do normal speeds i usually cruise at slightly under 80 on the motorway as the car feels best then. But i never corner roundabouts very hard, i chuck it around country roads, but never take roundabouts that fast.

Glad to here that Td, coz i just had some Nankangs fitted yesterday [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

I think they are pretty good....seeing as they were only £45/tyre + fitting £7/tyre.

Did you manage to get them locally Tim? , coz i couldnt and had to get them off the internet
