TOPIC:

Hi Team, any more thoughts on tyre choices? I have the Continental Contact 5s in 225/45R 19 inch which are worn after 13,000 miles, I bought the car at 11,500 miles, not me that's ripped them out!

My main interest is ability to soak up potholes as I live in Surrey and we are one of the worst counties for potholes. As I have found to my cost the 19 inch wheels are very poor at riding bumps. I only drive about 7,000 miles per year, mostly local so petrol usage and noise levels are very secondary.

My continentals wore too quickly also. Because I think tyres are the most important part of a car for me I have replaced all 4 with Michelin Pilot sport 4, not the newer design as the rating is not as good. Dear but much better than Continental. Bought them at a good price on the net for 586 for 4 delivered free. So far so good would buy again

Hi We only managed to get 16,000 miles out of four on our 4x4 sig nav from new on continentals. Now done 8000 miles on budget tyres 6mm left on them less noise cannot feel any change in grip only £400.00 for 4
ROADSTONE EUROVIS 225-45-19 and would buy again

Uniroyal Rainsport 3 225/45x19 96XL for 125€/pcs. Excelent tyre. Never Conti again as summer tire, altough drowe almost 20k miles with ser on 4x4 Kadjar

Hi, I just had to put a Roadstone on mine as i had a puncture and that's all they had in stock on a Sunday, got it for £82. so cheap and looking at reviews coming up well, lets see how it copes along side my Avons
