Hi Guys,
I need to replace 2 tyres on my WQ Zetec. Factory 16" rims. Any feedback on tyres, other than standard Continentals? I like the Contis, but they're very dear. Any other brand recommendations, or has anyone found a good deal for the Contis? Cheers, Dennis |

your best bets are to get Bridgstone Potenza RE001 or TOYO T1-R or GoodYear Eagle F1 GSD3, Pirrille Pzero Nero etc.

^^^ What he said and also... Michelin Pilot Preceda PP2.
But what do you look for in a tyre? is it just for an A-to-B thing? or the more grip the better? |

Toyo T1-Rs are excellent for the price. Used them on my Alfa with no complaints to be had, quiet and very grippy.

Ended up with P-Zero Neros. Unbelievable grip in the wet straight after they were fitted. They were dear, but got them cheaper than Continentals, and I've always wanted Pzeros!!!

Good choice of tyres, you wont be dissapointed. How much did you get them for?
are they 195/45R16 or 205/45R16? |

P-Zero's cheaper than the Conti's. I know there are a lot of dealers flogging P-Zero Nero's M+S. I hope you didnt get them as you would be better off with your worn tyres.
