My Thoughts... Do not scrimp on tyres. Last Time i used eco budget tyres, They lasted 150 miles before I had them changed, a couple hours after the first time it rained heavily and the car was fishtailing Up the M6


Also - if the reviews say they are shite, and then you are coming on here to find out what they are like - chances are they are shite

Good Luck...

10 negative out of 3000 is not mixed reviews, id say thats reassonable reviews.

Personally I would never touch the budget range of tyres again - ive had that fun in the past and hated them

I'm only going by what i saw on ebay though.. I couldn't find reviews on the website, most positive comments not on how the tyres performed though as i could see.. every negative is literally about going sideways in the rain.. but then i'm driving a mk3 so i should be cool!
