Hi all. Need a couple of tyres for my Mk2 Multispace 2.0 HDi. I'm sure it has come up on here before, but always interested to hear current thoughts/recommendations.
Toyed with getting winter tyres, but this winter has been too mild (so far) to worry. So looking for reasonably priced (70 - 80 quid fitted ?)all season tyre with good wet performance. I normally go for Hankook, as my local fitters recommend them. However the tread only runs around not across the tyre. So they have little grip on wet muddy tracks. Not talking about off road use, just a wet field used for parking etc.

I find tyres a personal choice.

You've opened a big can of worms with that request.As said,tyres are a personal choice.I have stuck with Michelin Energy & am happy with them.Someone will be bound to say they're lethal or something.Keep your eyes on this thread,it should prove to be interesting.:thumbsup::whistle:

I found Michelin also good and Vredestien.
Look at it this way, the rubber is the only contact you have with the road and you want your car to stick to it. I found with Budget tyres in the wet they are hopeless in the dry their OK. Michelin, Vredestein and Continental all good in the wet, but then again should we drive fast around bends and corners?

What didn't you like about them? I drive briskly but within limits & find grip & wear acceptable.MPG is also good.I am open to alternatives if they are well recommended. alut: alut:

The Falken are good in the wet and a fair price

Phillip,I think our wires are crossed.I have Michelin Energy.I have never bought budget tyres as experience buying S.H cars with them some times exercised my sphincter uncomfortably. alut::whistle::whistle:
PS,I think Modmytop should be banned for starting this thread.LOL

We definitely should be selective around which corners we fly.On an open empty road I enjoy a bit of a towse but going past a school at 3.15 is a no no. alut:
