Anyone heard of RoadStone tyres....are they any good?

[Zammy]

Have decided to go for winter tyres for my BMW but all the local garages only seem to have Roadstone winter tyres. Has anyone used the tyres before? Any good?

Pure and utter rubbish as summer tyres. So I'd avoid.

Roadstone is a trading name of Nexen.

I ran Nexen N3000s a while back and whilst not great they weren't as bad as the name Nexen might suggest.

Admittedly they are supposed to be very different to the rest of the summer tyres offered by Nexen. All across the net you'll find people saying they were surprised at the difference between N3000 and other Nexen tyres.

I suggest you find out whether it's the Winguards or Euro-Wins that are in stock and then find reviews.

Or, preferably get some Vredestein Snowtracs from Camskill, Pneus Online, tyremen.co.uk etc etc.

I have a set in Roadstone Winguard 's for my Audi V8 S4. Really only got them as, last year, they were the last set in the UK in my size (235-40-R18) and I wanted a guaranteed way of getting to Europe when all the airports were shut. TBH I can't really complain they've worn pretty well. I guess I'm not driving the car "properly" as my Goodyear F1 Asymmetric's have been on the car for over 15K miles and still have plenty of life :-)
