Boring Topic (I know) but what 22" tyres should I get?

Ladies and Gentlemen

I want to replace my 22" tyres, I've done 40k on Nexens and would like a 'brand'. Asked for Goodyear F1's but they don't do them anymore. Toyo proxes are £220 a corner from blackcircles so they're out of the question - What would you guys recommend?

Cheers and thanks for your input as always

I had thought about that and they are only £135 a corner! Don't you find you get a bit bored of tyres and want to renew them anyway. The rears are still easily legal - I am amazed at how long they have lasted!

However, just wondered if getting a dunlop, conti or other might be better handling,look nicer (call me vague) - open to suggestions!

40k on one set and you're thinking of changing brands? I don't think these Nexens have been mentioned here before, but if they work like that for everyone and only cost £135 per corner then we might have found a new favourite brand Thumbs Up

Guys - wished I had stayed with Nexens and I know there's loads of tyre snobs out there but I have gone for another budget brand - F Ones.

So - let's see how they go. Maybe I don't drive mine like you guys rip your cars but never had a traction or grip issue on my budgets!

Oh - on another subject, just ordered a new exhaust, twin tail pipes, will post pictures next weekend when it's installled.

Many thanks for your input as always!

OK< long time since i posted on this and had some changes. didn't like the F Ones, and decided to get 4 new tyres - got Alba tyres to fit 4 Dunlop Sport Maxx's - they're great tyres. Sworn to secrecy on the price but it was very competitive and the service there from Anthony is great. Tell him I sent you!! Jaguar XKR Convertible
