Mondeo tyres! Exciting eh?

[Blown2CV]

Hi Sorry if this has been covered, i am sure it has but i can't find by searching. I have a Mk4 Mondeo 2.0TDCi Titanium X with the 17" wheels as pictured.



I believe the correct spec is 235/45 R17 97W.

I do a lot of motorway miles, want decent wet grip and need them to be quite quiet and not fast-wearing. I CBA to change them for seasons so they need to be all season. I'd prefer a decent brand but it all depends on results.

Can anyone recommend please?
thanks

Michelin, best all round tyre available by far although you do pay for it

Try camskill I normally buy my tyres from them always a good price

sure, i'm happy to pay for the right thing TBH as i've been burned with budget alternatives previously. When I bought the car I checked the tyres and the tread and condition was good on first glance, and I noticed the make started with "Good" so I figured OK, they'll be fine. However, turns out the make is "GoodRide"!! What a stitch up! Also at MOT they have told me the rubber is cracking so I think it's time for new boots!

i've been bumbling around a ford forum too and a lot of good reviews for Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 and Dunlop Sportmaxx RT.

went for the Goodyear Eagles in the end and they've been great so far. Not cheap though.

I moved away from Goodyear a few years ago after they moved production to china & I had a huge failure on the rear
Production has now returned to Germany & the quality is back! I have a pair of them on the front of the wife's car & I'm impressed so far

do you know, that's really interesting as I put the older generation eagle onto a previous car and was thoroughly disappointed. They wore really quickly, maybe over the course of 6000 miles. Was pretty pissed off at the time, but when i was scouring the reviews etc this time around they scored consistently highly and had good user reviews, they were right up there, so i figured i would give em another go and they seem good so far. Maybe the older ones were rooted the same as the issue you highlighted.

The Goodyear eagles as I posted previously have, after a few thousand miles now, been very good.
