Tyre Price & Life expectancy survey (Different Sizes) ?

33000 miles still on original continental 245.45.20 tyres.
Have 2.5mm on fronts and 4.7mm on rears still.
Tyres have out lasted my rear pads-first time that has happened on any car I have ever owned

Down to 3mm on the fronts and 5 on the back, 18 inch pirellis, amazing tyres, still excellent ride, no noise, still perfect balance and grip.

Now the amazing bit, 63,000 miles (not km,s) and not driving miss daisy as my brother in law calls me.

Normal driving, admittedly a lot of highway/motorway and towing

Will definitely replace with same again [/size]

Westy that was what I liked about the Pirelli Ice and Snow tyres I have for winter - they run significantly more quietly than the Continentals - so much so that a passenger who travels regularly in my car commented about something having changed because she noticed it was quieter than she recalled!

So you are looking at £255 - £300 for a Pirelli 20"

Anyone with prices they've paid for 18" and 19" ???

Pirelli 19" @ £175

Flibberflops where abouts did you find Pirelli tyres for 225 please?

Sorry... it was a typo. I was quoting you at £255 at asda tyres!

(now corrected)

haha I had seen asda tyres at 255 that was where I was going to get my next one. Just need to make sure the garage don't scratch my painted wheels!

I would be grateful if someone recommend me all season tyres for 18" and how many miles they would last me and approx how much to replace all 4.

My continentals have completed 32000 miles but it looks like the fronts will need replacing soon as down to 2 mm. The rears are at 5mm so plenty left in these.
