My experience with budget tyre has been somewhat limited but generally dry grip has been OK, wet grip very good in most cases but they always seemed to wear out very fast.
So would like some more feedback from Roberto about his recommended tyres, in 245/40R19 they are £54 so about the same price as second hand set of premium tyres. Goodyears have been very poor for me, low grip and lasted for less than 6k miles. I was gong to get a set of second hand Michelins next as they have provided excellent grip for me before and seem to last very well - 20k going from 7.5 to 3mm
So how hard do you drive Roberto as I find myself on the limit of grip most of time in turns and roundabouts, how long does Accelera tyres last for you in terms of years and miles.
