My RR Sport has 22" wheels, which Ive considered changing but still unsure. I thought a set of 20" in graphite might be a good option but thats another thread.
If I decide to keep the wheels, then Im going to need to know what tyres are best to fit, priority is ride quality, wearability and price, in that order?

ATM I have Toyos on there and they still have a fair bit of life left in them but If my Volvo XC90 is anything to go by, then i don't expect too many miles per set based on mixed driving mileage etc. What do others on here get in miles per set of tyres?

Any advice?

Thanks

I have the 22' wheels on my RRS SC '14. I has the Continental OEM tyres and i would not go for them the next time as they add to the humming noise of the wheels. I use Pirelli Scorpion 22' winter tyres and they are better than the Contis so i will experiment with something different next time i change.

I get vibration through the drive train under acceleration, which at first i put down to the wheels but now, having spoken with others, i understand this is a common occurrence on these vehicles, especially at higher speeds under load. So I wont blame the wheels? It doesn't happen when Im coasting only on acceleration.
