Hi all,

Just a couple of quick questions, I'm in two minds on which to purchase.

Michelin's people I know say trust the brand.

But a friend of mine who runs a Rover 45 tdi sport has just put 4 boots on and really rates them. Recently my Dads work, have arranged on his Vectra tdi Sri 4 to be fitted.

Took the car out last night round Watford/Hemel in mixed conditions, dry wasn't to bad, but on m1 junction 8 slip southbound bends after drizzle the car was all over the shop when a little bit of power was applied..

This hasn't helped make my mind up at all, so thought I'd through the question to octavia drivers.

For Ref My Octavia is Tdi VRS

He's to any help

Kind Regards

Watford Brian

Ive had ZZ3 on my vRS and now have PS3.

PS3 are waaaaay better

HI,

I've got the the original Michelins the car came with (They have swapped axles!) and I've done 33000 miles and there is still 3mm tread depth left. They are competent cornering tyres and seem to work better in the warmer weather we have been having recently. The only problem I do have is axle tramp on acceleration especially in the colder months.

Michelins cost more than some other tyres but if you are getting more mileage then it may be worth it.

A mate who runs an Octavia vRS TDi took his first Bridgestone front tyres out in 10000 miles and the second ones in 5000 miles!!!

My boss runs an Octavia 2.0 TDi 140 and his front Continentals last about 17000 miles.

Food for thought maybe?
