Looking for some hard wearing front tyres for this car. Falkens have been suggested but open to more ideas. Details of supplier in London (or close to) very much appreciated. Budget up to 100.00 per side :coffee:

Hi Vinny,
You can look up the wear rating here: http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/
Continental Eco Contact 5 do well in this respect, as to Michelin Energy Saver

Thanks. Very helpful
my local tyre shop has done me 4 falkens for £75 a corner including fitting. i shall let you know what they are like.
I don't think we have a tyres article.
Perhaps we could start a thread with that purpose in mind.
List the car and peoples favourite tyres for it with small review like on that site.
Megane S250

Ive fitted alot of falkens now and i do like them, seem to be cheapest premium tyre around on the internet for alot of sizes, camskill do offers on them quite reguarly
camskill were the cheapest by far for the falkens online.
Which Falkens?
ze 912 are cheaper or slightly better tyre is the fk 452
I also really like the firestone firehawk sz90, great looking tyre but they do feel very soft even just handling them, grip well but i am dubious on longevity.
fk452.
i tried the 912 on my 5 and hated them, more of a touring tyre apparantly.
Yeah just a cheap day to day tyre nothing special.Quote:

eurocarparts? i use them all day everyday and theyve never sold tyres? ive told them they should lol.
Tyres not advertised on website and they're not on the shop floor. Best to order over the phone and then collect. Got quoted last Saturday by Wembley Branch. I think they also offer trade discount!
That's well expensive. Camskill do 225 40 18 for £75 a corner. 235 can't be much more.Quote:

I run Falken ZE-912s all round on my 5 and cant fault them.
Fk452 are now on my cupra. I must say they are very noisy.
i had some falken fk452 on front of my megane when i got it, where crap. Even cornering in the dry i had as much grip as i do in the wet with a decent tyre. Switched to some hankook evo's and all was sorted - allthough they have gone up in price alot
