Which tyres for my car?
Discussion
Hi there,
My front tyres will require replacing soon and I was hoping to receive some advice for what tyres are good to go for.
My car is a 2009 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2 and I do mainly city driving, however I do long runs every now and then.
The car currently has Continental EcoContact 3's fitted which I believe is what the car came with as standard.
Someone said to me that if you don't fit original tyres then it could invalidate your insurance?
It would need two front tyres but is it worth doing all four as I would imagine the rear tyres are the original and are now 4 years old.
The size is 185/65/R15 88T
Any help would be greatly received. I do not want to go for a budget tyre

Where do people get these ideas? The only way tyres can invalidate your insurance is if you fit some not of original size. That would come under modifications, which you would have to declare.Someone said to me that if you don't fit original tyres then it could invalidate your insurance?
As long as your tyres are the correct size and construction you can fit what you like. I once had a car with five different makes on, not ideal but it was legal.

Don't they also need to be the correct load and speed rating?As long as your tyres are the correct size and construction you can fit what you like. I once had a car with five different makes on, not ideal but it was legal.
