I'm on the goodyear efficient grip how hard do you push the car ?

I bought them for the a rated wet grip, figured I should never run out of dry grip on any decent tyres so far they perform well in dry and are very good in the wet,

Obviously the cross climate are a genuine all season tyre and I think the only tyre of its type the tuv have snow marked so depends on if you use winter tyres aswell ?

[danncus]

That's what I was thinking. It would also be good to have some performance in snow and the odd muddy field !

Have you had a look at the Michelin cross climate, supposed to be a very good all season tyre, it wasn't released when I got mine fitted

What size? 215 60 16 or 215 65 16?

 

the cross climate look expensive?

[stants]

216/60/16 for me I think, pouring down so don't fancy checking just yet,

Have a shop around as I managed to get my good year down from 140 each to 104 that was through asda believe it or not

[danncus]

Yes 215 60 16

cross climate is good but they about £120+ each on a good day so looking at good £500 for set .

I've been scouring the Internet. 

Seems all season tyres don't perform well enough in the dry, so I'm looking at uniroyal rain experts at around £88

or these Toyos http://www.blackcircles.com/order/tyres?&width=215&profile=60&rim=R16&speed=Any&wintertyre=wintertyre

they seem good value to me

[Mr B]

really a case of matching tyre to your needs, if you on dry tarmac mainly then all seasons not really needed, if on back track wet & cold roads or remote areas they very handy, I've used the optimo 4seasons before & they are superb for the money if you truly need a 4s tyre ...
