Anything by a decent brand in the correct size. I'm assuming this is a family car so personally I'd be avoiding cheap Chinese tyres. It's the last 5% of performance that can make the difference between hitting something or not in an emergency.

Depends what you want, type of driving, environment etc etc

IMO far too much utter rubbish out there, at a minimum go for some sort of reputable brand name

I still can't fathom why any tyre company would call themselves Triangle !

I put 4 Nankang AS2's on my CRV and don't really like them. I'd a full set of Uniroyals on it before and car never lost grip in the wet, but these Nankangs do. Only if I floor it though, not in 'normal' driving.

Great news
If you can get them local I really Z tyre Z1 tyres excellent for the price better in the wet than the continentals they replaced. Maxxis are supposed to be good too never tried them. I had Imperial brand all seasons were good too can't say what the summer versions are like.

Triangle for the money were (might still be) great. I ran them for years. Always death traps for the first 500 mile and when you got close to the end they were crap. But knowing that they were brilliant. 33 a corner when I got them. We marked the barrels of the alloys got 47k from the rear and 22k on the front. Mostly long distance driving.

Triangle are owned by the company zenesis who make the Z1 tyre I like.

Hello, I also recommend Maxxis tires, I have them for about 4 years and the tread is almost the same as it was at the beginning, but maybe because I do not do hundreds of kilometers a day, I do 5-10 km a day only

Jumping on this thread - need to get 4xMichellin PS4S 235/35/19 and at the minute with their 15% discount, Blackcirlces are the best quote

Any other recommendations?

Tried camskill, openeo, ebay, amazon, mytyres, etc...

I've used tirestreets.co.uk with their 10% off voucher. Think they only stock cheaper stuff, but I've found the Acceleras not too bad.

No why? Have been using them since I got my S3 and are a road tyre



They are currently £560 posted with their 15% discount

Did you ever order these from Blackcircles? Looking myself and can get 4x 18" PS4 for the civic for £350 fitted from Blackcircles, probably at Philip White in Mallusk as they're closest to me. Seems a silly price for PS4's, most local places seem to be about that for Toyo Proxes.
