Best Tyres

[VX5195]

Hi there,

My mum owns a SEAT Leon 2.0 TDI CR FR and the front tyres are getting close to wanting renewal.

I was wondering what tyres you would recommend? Not too fussed about price, just want something decent that offers good grip, economy and refinement.

The size is:

225/45/R17 91W

It currently has Pirelli P Zero Rosso tyres on (from new)

Many thanks

The only vehicle I have with similar size tyres (215/45/17) is my St170, the best tyre I have used so far is the Goodyear Asymmetric 2. It's both very grippy and comfortable, the only downside I have found is the turn in is less sharp than the Michelin Pilots I had previous.

+1 on the Goodyears. Just about to buy a new set myself.

Goodyear F1 A2s or Michelin Supersports, if they are available in that size.

As above, Eagle A2's. I'd advise getting the XL ones rather than the standard ones as they have a slightly harder sidewall. I find the soft sidewalls on the non-XL ones mean that you get a bit of vagueness but the XLs are much better in that respect.

Another vote for Goodyear Eagles.

The wife had Pirellis, they weren't good, I put Maxxis tyres on her car last time, they aren't bad for a seemingly 'budget' tyre.

Thanks for your help, it looks like Goodyear will be the choice!
