Hi,
Car has had it's first MOT and apart from 2 self-induced advisory notes (front tyres were over-inflated...serves me right for keeping at the pressure I got the car - 34psi is too high!); an offside front brake wearing more than the others I had a Nearside ball joint split - this has been fixed under warranty - all good so far.
I reckon I'm going to get another 2 months out my tyres - car does approx. 8000 miles a year so it's not a heavy mileage car.
Rear tyres are still the originals (with about 2mm tread left which seems pretty good for the car coming up to it's 30k mileage) but fronts are going to need done soon.
I've got a 2007 Bravo Sport 150 T-Jet with the optional 18s (225/45/18's - I think!) and I'm wondering what tyres I should go for. They are running P-Zero's just now but they seem to be about £130 a corner. No real issue with the tyres (although it does seem to suffer from tramlining a lot but that could be due to over-inflation!) apart from cost for new ones.
So what tyres are people using and recommending? Ideally I'd like to spend not much more than £100 a corner - will get the front's changed then a few months later the rear ones (unless I can find a deal that offers the 4 for around £250!!!).
I'm not normally tight but with new family member money is much tighter than usual, hence me asking so any recommendations would be appreciated as I'd probably just got for the P-Zero's again if I had the cash.
It doesn't get thrashed but it gets driven on all kinds of surfaces and roads - I'd like grip in dry and wet (although as long as it doesn't slide like the P6000 Ditchfinders then it's going to be good) - wife's car has some Khumo's on and they seem to be very good in wet and dry...but not sure how they would be on the Bravo.
Thanks.
