Hi folks, I drive a w reg 1.8 lx estate and wondering what are the best tyres to get in terms of longevity and fuel efficiency. Is it a false economy to go for a budget tyre, even part worn, or should I be looking at Michelins @ £75 a pop? Any help, much appreciated as always...

Stock answer is Goodyear EfficientGrip performance or Dunlop BluSport Response. 

From looking at reviews and advice I'm going for Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetric 3's soon. Black circles seem to be doing them for around £90 a tyre fitted. 

Goodyear efficient grip are a very good all round-er type tyre. Long lasting, efficient, quiet but still provide decent grip levels (did a couple of laps of the Nurburging with mine on).

 

I went for Pirelli P7 Cinturato Blue on the current car though as I couldn't find efficient grips in the right size at a decent price.

 

The Pirellis are very quiet and very efficient and they give brilliant grip too (A rated for fuel and A rated for wet grip).

Actually. What size are your tyres?
