Richie7Rich Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Place would probably Black circles they also give a good indication on fuel saving per tyre hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon_273 Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Continental Premium Contacts in 185/55/14 are the best I've ever used, and having had 4/5 Lupo's I've tried quite a few. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 I'm using gsd3's for summer tyres. Great in the dry literally awesome but not great in standing water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_273 Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 That's one of the reasons I rated the Conti's; they were ace in the wet as well as the dry. What size are your GSD3's though as I didn't think they acme in 185/55/14?I currently have Yokohama S Drives for summer and Vredestein Snowtracs for winter. I wanted ContiWinterContacts but couldn't get any. And the summer tyres had to have rim protection so the PremiumContacts were out this time. Next time I'll probably go back to the Conti's.

Dblock Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Oops sorry forgot about the 185/55/14 I have 15's. You could always get some of that gator tape or whatever its called. The vred sportracs are decent too but I had the ultrac ssensta and they where decent but way to soft in the sense the wore very very quickly.

danoid Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 All tyres now because of EU regs need to have like a mini EPC, so sound economy etc.Check out mytyres.co.uk got all "EPC"'s next to them.I generally would only go with Bridgestone, Michelin, Kumho, Dunlop. Don't trust the cheapos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
