Budget Tyres
« on: 05 June 2024, 20:34:25 »

Long gone are the days when I could put something cheap black and round on my car for about fifty quid a corner.  :-\

I've been using Runway Performance 926 and recently Runway Enduro Sport on my Mondeo for years and have always found them to be good for the price.  :y

However my local tyre shop can't get them and other suppliers are quoting up to £91.99! (Asda)  :o

What budget tyres are you fellas using?  ???   :)

Put a pair of Avons on the front of the C1 the other day. £41.60 each, delivered from Camskill.
Only 155/ 14 though.

I put a pair of Royal Black something somethings on her Evoque when she ran over a kerb and buggered two up. :-X they were £110 a piece for 20".

A royal black does sound like a make of dildo though  :-X

Mine are 235/40 18

The cheapest I've found so far are Trazano (No me neither!) for £69.99 each via ASDA Tyres.  I do kinda like to have the same brand all the way round tho.   :-\

Always best if they're all agreed on the same ditch. ;)

I have to replace all 4 on the Jag imminently, so need to start thinking. The PS5s that I have on it currently were the first set of tyres in a long time where all 4 made it to near legal limit without at least one dying prematurely. Much better than the Pirelli garbage that I had before.

An Ecoboom Focus has far worse problems than four new, better than adequate tyres.

PS4S currently.  A mere £1200 a set.  Not been brave enough to go to PS5 yet, although not sure my sizes are all available in PS5 yet.

Hers runs on Primacy.  Her size is more budget friendly, so about £500 a set ;D

Long gone are the days when I could put something cheap black and round on my car for about fifty quid a corner.  :-\

I've been using Runway Performance 926 and recently Runway Enduro Sport on my Mondeo for years and have always found them to be good for the price.  :y

However my local tyre shop can't get them and other suppliers are quoting up to £91.99! (Asda)  :o

What budget tyres are you fellas using?  ???   :)

My desirable classic was last fitted with 4x Pirelli  225/17.......for £300. I thought this reasonable.

The Mexican came with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S as standard which stick like shit to a blanket (although I have no experience of this) 8)

My final 53 plate MV6 2.6 was fitted with Wanli Ditchfinders.....They were OK in the dry, but dangerous in the wet. Didn't last long though. :-X

Any budget tyre, and many supposedly midrange tyre will have a huge difference in grip between wet and dry, especially as the tyre wears/ages.

I put a single half worn Autogrip on the back of TBE for a laugh, and took it out after a light shower for a laugh - I couldn't manage more than walking pace around any right hand corner or roundabout, without the back end coming around ;D.  Got it home, shoved it on the front for a giggle, and that was even more scary, and downright dangerous.  So cut it into tiny pieces and put it in a bin liner and took to the tip.

For anything faster than a wheelbarrow, budgets just aint worth it in the UK. Namely because it sometimes rains.

Are remoulds still available, or even legal, in the UK?.

My old cars would run around happily on them without any problems.
