Thorburn Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Currently: Avons But they need replacing so I'm ordering Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted July 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Feck. My apologies for missing out Dunlop and Avon as they're likely to be the choice of a few. Sorry. As in the last option, I am plainly a fecking idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiser647 Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 4 Conti Contact thingys all round. When it comes to replacement time, probably go for Conti's again. They seem a decent tyre, with a good name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] I've owened my car for about 3 months now and I had no idea what make was on my XC90 But i've just gone and looked, and they are the above tyre (continental conticontactcont, or something stupid like that). 235/60 R18's, they sound expensive !

schmoo Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 conti's on atm eco contacts, was tempted for pirelli's but was advised they wear more quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorburn Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Generally grippier tyres are softer and so wear quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazdot Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Bridgestone potenza's. Came with the car, seem very grippy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avus_Bub Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Pirelli Rosso thingies on the A4 , Seem ok wearing well @ 9k. Michelin Pilot Exalto's on the Clio (my choice) Fantastic ! Suit the car so well , I had a 2nd "winter" set of wheels on the car untill last week and the Pilots have transformed the drive But after the F1 feck up I might just go for Bridgestones or Conti's on the A4 next - Just out of spite.

JamesB Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Michelin PS2 XLs on my car. On both my S4 and RS6, I've changed from Contis to PS2s and both times have felt there has been an improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sayerbloke Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Yokohama for me. All four needed changing when I bought it and agreed that I`d go 50/50 on the cost with the garage I bought the car from. Offered a choice of Yokohama, Falken and some cheap budget make. So, I went with the most expensive option and chose Yokohama Before that [the tyres I had them take off] it was Marangoni. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't happy with them from the second they were put on. I don't doubt the tyres, just that they didn't suit the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did you have before and how do they compare for wear, grip, road noise, etc? [/ QUOTE ] Had Potenza's before (from factory I think). They had about 18,000 miles on them when I changed them and were right down to the limit, so that may affect my overall view. The GSD's just seem to offer much more grip, especially in the wet. The have done about 8000 miles now and are hardly showing any signs of wear. If you do get some - just note that I was advised to scrub them in for a couple of hundred miles. An alternative to consider is the Toyo Proxes T1-R's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
