Tyres (yet again)
Discussion
I am sure this will have been discussed before , but I have a slightly different slant on it .
My choice of tyres for some time has been Eagle F1. And those are on my car at present ,
I like them because (IOMO) they have good wet grip, are quiet with regard to road noise , and wear well , and it is the last point that is the problem, because I don’t do starship mileages and the tyres are now 9 years old but only about half worn , and are showing signs of cracking , so the time is right for new ones .
This is where I would value input , As I am having to replace tyres before they are worn out , due to age degradation , I feel I could go for greater grip , wet or dry by choosing a softer compound .also I would like to keep to low road noise .
I am sure there are many opinions , but is there a tyre that stands out against others , without costing the earth .

Going through my records for the car , and also the MOT history , I would guess the tyres have done around 16000/18000 miles .
That in its self is not bad , the car came with Bridgestones , and at the same time I had a new Mazda6 also on Bridgestones, that is one tyre I will neve have again.
