I need some new rear boots on the C2S...

[markda]

The car is currently on Pirelli rubber all round, guessing original tyres given the relatively low milage - so given it's a late-2016 car their getting on a bit!

Dilemma... Rears are dead, plenty of tread on the front. Do I buy straight replacements for the rears and be done with it, or are they past their prime and should therefore use the opportunity to replace all of them with another tyre. If so what do you all recommend for mixed driving in UK climate? I should add I don't hang around, equally I am no Chris Harris behind the wheel.

Not interested in winters, I'm well aware of the benefits but don't do enough miles to justify so just accept I have to drive miss daisy when it's really cold.

If you want different tyres now would the time to do it, but if you’re not hammering round like God’s gift, and some on here do claim to be that, why not keep the cost reasonable? Especially, if the last tenth, or minuscule advantage of ‘feel’ are not needed?

I'm no driving god, and now that so many of us are WFH for the foreseeable most of my driving is generally shutting my son back and fourth to his mothers house 20 miles away. He loves a little blast, but I am not pushing the limits of the car very often, if ever! I do appreciate tyres that have good feel on soggy old British roads.

I always thought after 2-3 years rubber was generally past it's prime. If I can get away with it I'll save myself 500-600 I'll do that, equally firm believer in doing things right.

You will always get 2-1 on a RWD , don't waste your money as fronts will be more than fine.

Anything other than a Pirelli then. But are you tied to N-rated, for whatever reason? That will restrict your choice.
