ok guys need four new tyres for my ride
not looking to spend much so budget ones will do size is either 205/50/17 or 225/50/17
anyone no any good budget tyres ?
I've ordered online a few times, and then got a local place to fit them.. Works out a bit cheaper sometimes.. Or the websites sometimes even sort out the fitting appointment for you too..

I normally buy part worns on ebay, can get some good deals.
I used to go to a part worn place nearby, seemed to be good stuff but tbh I got a bit wary after reading a few horror stories.
I now just use local garages, sometimes even the dreaded PC world of cars that is Kwik Fit......ordering online & getting them fitted is cheaper than going in & getting them fitted, they also often do quite good prices for 4 tyres when bought all at once.
Shop around though & then take prices back to places that you lied & see if they will match it.

ok huys which would you choose
kumho ku31
the falken ze912
toyo proxes ?
I've had Kumho KU31's and Kumho KH31's and been well impressed with the wear rate. 20-25k miles.
Also completely removed all wheel spin when pulling off from lights in high torque diesel, which Pirelli P6000 and Nexus N3000 were both terrible for.
Look good with emblem on the side, and got my local tyre place to price match camskill and just charge me £10 per tyre to fit. So for £55 per tyre for ku31 absolute bargain!
ps. also very quiet.

I've had the falken on my old car and I quite liked them, especially with the rim protector just in case
