eco tyres

Apr 26, 2004 7 Replies

Hi,



need to put some new tyres on my 306.



looking at replacing the car in a few months so is it worth me putting "good" tyres on compared to eco ones?



will i gain much anyway with brand tyres?



thanks

P.S - if anyone can recommend an online and mobile tyre fitter that would be great


KW_UK (karl.nospam snipped-for-privacy@btinternet.com) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying :

I'm not sure how many small local tyre fitters - who would probably be the most worthy of recommendation - would be so mobile as to visit both Land's End and John O'Groats. A hint as to your rough location may help elicit useful recommendations.

Something like Firestone gives you a cheaper tyre with a good level of quality for selling the car. No funny questions about quality of tyre etc from buyers.

Good tyres are definately worth the money IMO. Particularly in the wet. Uniroyal Rallye 680s should be available in your size, and IMO they're very good. Nice progressive breakaway in the wet and dry.

I would say they are worth the extra to go to a good main brand you don't have to go over the top but if I were buying the car and it had cheapo no brands on I would start to wonder where else you may have been skimping on.

It depends on the age too. Someone buying a 306 for under £1k, for example, would be quite happy just to have a good tread.
