my car is really bad on the road noise, it makes you feel sick, so I buy top rated noise reduction, 177 a tyre, that was in a sale lol.
Always used to put cheapo tyres on my cars, but I did a lot of mileage all on m'ways. Pointless buying expensive tyres for that!I suppose it depends again on what you use it for and how deep your pockets are!
that was a lot to take in , what I am saying not being a tyre expert?? is go with the advise given. the car forum people said the same thing, I didn't want to waste 160 on shit tyre,s just to then have the missus complaining. I am happy in the van .saying that 8mm van tyres are now 75 a pop, and that's cheap ones.
i think you get what you pay for. my work mate ate a scotch egg from aldi 2 weeks on the sick,..
BMWs have runflat tyres and the choice is minimal - I replaced the Bridgestone Potenzas with Kumho Ecsta...still pricey but actually perform better in my opinion..the Bridgestones are too bliddy hard

I'm not sure if they have improved run flats but mine seem fine. Noggy did you say new tyres at 11000m? My last car 4x4 did 30k on the origional tyres wifes fiesta is 11 plate 11k miles origional tyres have loads left on them. Am I just good on tyre or what milage do others get? Bmw only done 2k miles so I'm not sure how they will last as yet compared to normal tyres.
