What tyres for family wagon?

[PomBstard]

Need to get four new tyres for my Forester and wonder what alternative brands are worth trying. Current tyres are Dunlop Sport 200E - have done a good job with reasonable levels of wet and dry grip, and much lower noise than the OE Geolanders. Size is 215/60 16 and I'm not looking to change that. Use is mainly urban with occasional motorway trips.

What recommendations do we have???

Excellent tyres and good value, I have them on a couple of vehicles:

Have a look at what's available from Vredestein, they are very well placed for value/quality.

Thanks for those, unfortunately Uniroyal and Vredestein arent exactly commonplace in Oz - any others???

Well, you didn't say you were in Oz and how are we supposed to tell what tyres are commonplace there?

Hey Caulkhead maybe we are the Flaming Galah's, look at the user name

Fair enough - what are the chances of the first two recommendations being hard to find???

Usual suspects - Bridgestone, Goodyear, Dunlop, Pirelli, Michelin - are all easy to get.
