I want to get 4 quality tyres for my 2008 Mk1.
Preferably year round tyres, I wont be switching during Summer/Winter.
I don't mind paying a little extra for good ones, but obviously I don't want to waste my money unnecessarily.
Recommendations gratefully received. I am very low-mileage, so mainly around town with the occasional A-road trips of no more than 25/30 miles.
Thanks all.

I had Yokohama Bluearth 4S (four seasons) on mine and they were superb.

Thank you Jocko, lovely to hear from you again.
Did you settle well into your new abode, two years now? (me too, also 2 years in new abode)
-
Nexen or Kumho tyres.

Thanks. Yes, it is nice living here except I don't get many miles and most of what I do do is city driving.

I am very happy with my Goodyear Vector 2 all seasons . Michelin Cross climate also get good reviews but I've never used them.
If you want a more budget conscious alternative I was happy with the Kumho Solus (HA31 I think) that I ran on a Corsa. The Goodyear are slightly better, but at a premium price .(But shop around)

I remember when you were renovating the present abode, you had a fair journey up and down between the two. If I recall you treated us to some great dash cam footage over the bridge etc.

Yes, I was filling my tank two or three times a week. Since buying the Fabia and putting it on the road in January. I filled the tank on the 3rd and I have only had to fill up twice and it is almost the end of August.

Some great economy there Jocko.
Is the old Jazz still on the road (as far as you know)?
-
Reviews suggest Michelin Cross Climate 2 are best: especially in snow. I have CC 1s and on 26k miles: still 6mm on front 4mm rear so 35k miles life.. which offsets price.

Similar with me Jocko. Filled in January, May and, two weeks ago, in August. Might need one for fill before Christmas.

Yes. I don't know if it was pleased or disappointed. It went elsewhere for an MOT, didn't require half the work my MOT station quoted, and was subsequently repaired and is now taxed and back on the road.

This might be considered a hate crime by some but I've had great service out of a few Chinese brands in recent years.
The Jazz was wearing 4x Jinyu tyres for around 7 years and were actually on a set of alloys that were previously used on my old Hyundai i20 for a couple of years. I expect they did 40,000 miles on the front end, before being replaced last December.
The two front Jinyu tyres were replaced with ATS house brand Hilo Genesys and have given good grip etc.
I've had ATS Hilo Genesys tyres on my KIA Ceed SW and I've been really impressed with them during almost 6 years of ownership.

That's really good lifetime, especially for an all-season tyre. Makes me consider CCs for the new summer tyres. I have Michelin X-Ice Snow for the actual winter.
-
Would recommend Michelin X Climates. I had these on my recently departed Merc 320CLK. I bought four new tyres nine years ago and the front tyres still had 3/4mm left on them ( both rear tyres had to be replaced due to punctures during those nine years ) after 50,000 miles. Mind you I drove it like a nun and it was used for long journeys only. Wonderful ride and especially sure footed in heavy rain.

I have always got exceptionally good mileage out of my all season tyres. You'd imagine that their more 'aggressive' tread pattern would increase noise and reduce mileage but this is not the case.
Its normal in the tyre trade to recommend replacing tyres at 3mm,Even summer tyres, ,especially if you want good grip in snow. Yet Michelin claim their Cross climates give good grip in snow right down to the legal limit of 1.6mm. (although some countries may apply a 3 or 4mm legal minimum limit in winter) This may be a reason to chose cross climates despite their cost. But I'd still rather have 3mm despite what Michelins marketing people say .

Have you noticed difference in fuel consumption between all-season tyres and summer tyres?
-
I used to run summer and full winter tyres on a Yaris. The fuel economy was affected significantly more by the season temperature than by the tyres.
With a decent brand modern all-season tyre I really wouldn't worry.
I have Goodyear Vector 4 Seasons 3 on my current Yaris, excellent tyres all round, hot/dry grip probably not up to full summer tyres but wet/cold is good. Noise is good, economy fine.

I keep accurate records on Fuelly. Over 6 years with CCs, no measurable differences vs 5 years on conventional tyres. Driving style, routes,traffic and weather made more impact.

I have Hankook Kinergy 4S2 on my GK and they are excellent, rated very highly in online reviews

I had Vitora SportLife tyres fitted on both Jazz's. They've been really good for most weather conditions. The first set went on in 2016 and will be good for another 6/12 months. The second set have been on the other Jazz for two years and they still look practically brand new.
