Has anyone here used Sonar tyres before?

I'm looking to get a set of cheapo winters as my T1Rs really were crap over the past few days, and I can't really afford too much.

I've found a brand new set of 4 Sonar SX608 M+S 205/50/16 for £170.

I've also found the option of a set of 4 part worn continentals TS790 M+S, with 4mm tread left, however they are 205/55/16. They are cheaper though.

I'm tempted to go with the continentals, however I've never run part worn tyres.

Which would you go for?

Im sure Ive read that winters tires ideally need replacing at 4mm! The part worn ones have probably come off of a vehicle for that very reason?

Id always go with the new option personally.

That's what I thought really.

Looks like I'll see what I can get new then

Good luck

i orderd a set of Sunny SN3830 last friday for £157 for 4 still havent arrived yet but looking at tyre web sites today there well and truely out of stock and the odd few they have are well over £100 EACH robbing gits

Hmmm, well I now find myself looking on Ebay.de

winter tyres should be changed at 4mm

a lot of winter tyres on ebay have only 4mm

because they are brought in from Germany

and sold to uninformed brits
