I've just covered 13K on the original Conti's and they need replacing. But considering I do 80% motorway driving and the fact that the Conti's aren't exactly sticky I think this is a bit on the low side.

So does anyone have any suggestions for which tyre I should go for next?

I do loads of motorway driving and ive fitted Goodyear Eagle F1's. They are awsome for grip and damn good in wet weather!

 

[Bucky]

Thanks, any idea what are they like for wear?

 

[Alex]

ive done 12,500 miles on them and mine are 60% worn on the fronts and 50% on the back appx I should be good for at least another 5000-7000 miles

[dools225]

Toyo's T1R's on mine too, agree they are a great tyre. :wink:

Do they do the Michelin Exalto that is on the 182 for the 225 as i found those were cracking tyres ...

The goodyears that come in first are the ones i use! They are awsome

I'm thinking of going for thoe nexen 3000's. I can get them for a good price and haven't rated too badly (not as good as the Eagle F1 DS3's though).

Anyone used them before?

ive got michelins on the front of mine at the moment. 100 times better than the contis!!

Which Michelins and How and Why "100 times better than Contis" please explain for the enlightment of the community...

 

[Jimbo]

right, ive only had them 2 weeks, but ive been very impressed by the grip they give in the wet compared to the contis. and i got them cheaper than the contis. i know its unfair to properly compare them at this stage relating to wear rates and proper dry weather performance.

i should have pointed this out prior

Edit: they are the Pilot Primacy

 

[Guest]

I've got Michelin Pilot sport 2 on mine seem to be lasting forever i've done 12,000 so far and got around 4mm left on the front's and 5mm on the rear's.. :wink:

 

[andy bassett]

having had the shocking contis on my other 225 ( cack in the wet no grip wore to quick not even that good on hot roads ) and now having the dunlops on the new 225 there is no comparison( great all round grip vgood in the wet not sure about hot roads as not had none yet ), the dunlops are twice as good as the contis,

not sure on the price difference but im sure you willl find them cheap enough if you look

 

[Guest]

Michelin Pilot Sport 2 all round on mine, good tyre, too early to tell on wear but is reported to be good. £138 fitted at Costco

 

[BlackRat250]

Are they the ones that are re-enforced? Costco said that they would only fit the re-enforce, extra load ones.

not only me thats happy with michelins then 8)
