I run Michelin CrossClimates. Not off roading very often but very pleased with them compared to Wranglers as factory fitted. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

Currently have 19" Avon ZX7 fitted. Seem ok in all aspects except perhaps longevity... (I didn't measure the tread depth when new so they may well be ok for wear rate too).

... time will tell but they are now on their second summer season and the car is only averaging 6-7 thousand miles per year on a set summer and a set winter tyres.

I have these as they are very quiet and as my wife has poor hearing they have helped her a lot.

Any summer tyre in the winter is fine - Avons usually - and vredestein wintracs in the winter

I use Goodyear Wrangler HP, they have been pretty good. Tyre wear on mine is really low and I even nurtured the winter Avons I had last time for over 30,000 miles.

Can of worms. You will get different opinions from everyone you ask.

I agree with this guy



Just buy a quality tyre at the best price you can find - the differences between quality brands are generally small IMO and not worth bothering about. If your driving style "lacks mechanical empathy" then no tyre will last long.
Dont buy "cheap as chips" tyres - your life and someone else's may depend upon your tyre choice. Jules
