Latest thinking on 16'' tyres please

[Top Down]

As posted elsewhere, advisory on MOT, tyres getting close to replacement.

So what's the thinking on sixteens now? It's several years since I bought the last set - Bridgestones.

Prefer minimal road noise and quality tyres, not cheap ditchfinders.

Thanks.

I've had three sorts of tyres upfront over the last 66k miles, albeit 15", and my thoughts as follows.

Michelin Energy Saver - On the car when we bought it. Lasted for ever, but very noisy and minimal grip. I was glad when they went! They were worse than some Chinese tyres fitted to our other car as far as grip is concerned.

Toyo Proxes Comfort - These were briliant. Very grippy, great handling and quiet. Downside, they wore out far too quickly, approx 25k and they were shot.

Khumo Ecowing ES31 - Less than 2000 miles on these, and so far I am extremely impressed. Similar to the Toyo for grip levels, but quieter and have smoothed the ride a little. Paid just £49.85ea delivered to the door by Camskill.

HTH.

. deleted I misread the post and commented on 16" vs 15".

I'd use the opportunity to  convert to a quality  brand of all seasons, which are now much improved.

Look up ityres on eBay, same company as FastFit I believe. Some pretty good discounts to be had
