Anyone recommend me with thoughts on what new boots to buy for my Octy? I do around 25k per year, almost exclusively motorway work. I am fortunate enough to have a mate in a toyota dealer who will fit and balance them for me for free, so i can buy online!

So, the standard wheels on my Octy currently have Michelan Hydrgrip 195/65/R15. I have a budget of maximum £50 per tyre on somewhere like black circles. They have lots of choice, so i wondered if anyone could recommend one, i'm looking to replace all 4 boots.

So, buy some more Hydrgrip's, or go for Avon ZV3's or Toyo Proxies??

I've had Avon ZV3's on my last 2 cars and couldn't fault them.

Have a look at Cheap Tyre Prices | Dunlop Goodyear Pirelli | Discount Car Tyres | Tyre Shopper, they have the size you want at £48 each including fitting.

Id gop michelin if your doing big miles as they always seem to last a lot longer than any other tyres ive used in my limited experience.

There are loads of threads on tyres, do a search.

Given the size and requirements, I'd think Proxes CF-1 asymmetrics.
