danncus Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 What tyres work well? new owner of 55 plate 2.5xt 252 would like tyres which perform well in all conditions thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 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 Posted March 24, 2016 Author Share Posted March 24, 2016 That's what I was thinking. It would also be good to have some performance in snow and the odd muddy field ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr B Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Hankook optimo 4 season do that size, they a a great all round tyre & very good in wet snow & ice . price is reasonable if shop about too http://www.mytyres.co.uk/cgi-bin/rshop.pl?dsco=110&cart_id=31601152.110.25683&sowigan=GAN&Breite=215&Quer=60&Felge=16&Speed=&Load=&kategorie=&Marke=Hankook&ranzahl=4&tyre_for=&x_tyre_for=&Herst=Hankook&m_s=3&rsmFahrzeugart=PKW&filter_preis_bis=&filter_preis_von=&homologation=&Label=C-C-72-2&details=Ordern&typ=R-213588 cross climate is good but they about £120+ each on a good day so looking at good £500 for set .

danncus Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 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 ...
