Bravo 2007 diesel
What do people recommend for tyres ? I have bridgestone in the past but don't seem to last. Any ideas at all please.

I have a 150 t-jet and have the same question

 

[LSP]

Simple: Good Year EfficientGrip Performance.

The best tyre on the market and perfect on my Bravo t-jet (175HP) (18') Sport. Why?

* Quiet, quiet, quiet!(!)
* Fuel effecient
* Great wet handeling
* Long lasting

Really, go for it. It's the only tire on the market with an B-label on effiency, and a A-label on grip. Search for tests on the internet, and convince yourself.

A cheap(er) alternative I had before is the Uniroyal Rainsport 3. This tire preformance great in rain, good in dry! Consumer reviews are very good!

I stuck Kleber Quadraxers on a few years back and just replaced them (with some rubber still left) at 34k miles which is more than twice what I was getting out my Continentals. Stuck another set on now, I dont drive fast in my Sport 165 but I know they wont be as grippy as the Continentals.

The tyre you require will depend upon the size of wheel you are currently running. I have 205/55 r16 on my Bravo and run Michelin Primacy HP. Not the best but substantially better (quieter, more stable, more wet grip) than the Bridgestone Turanza's on the car before.

I have 2.0 mjet 165. Just took off Goodyear efficient grip (225/45 r17) from the front and put on 2 goodyear eagle F1 asymmetric 2. Feels much better already. Back 2 are still the efficient grip as they have loads of rubber left. But eagle F1's were £90 each fully fitted.

P.S. If you are interested in fuel efficiency, wet grip, noise etc make sure you look at the tyre details in the size you need for your car as the details will change when the tyre size changes.

I really don't pay any attention to the fuel efficiency rating, my main and only concern is the wet grip. Which is why I generally replace my tyres with UniRoyals. Since the release of RainSport3, that has become my tyre of choice and I have to say I couldn't fault it on my Alfa 147 - the ride became a little softer, grippier and very reassuring in the wet.

Tyres I find are down to personal preferences. Someone else will probably slate the RS3, but then experiences vary
