I know it's been asked before but I'm in need of new tyres. I have looked at the sticky at the top (the poll seems to be dead) and I've also done a search but can't find the answers I'm after, so please don't flame me. I have a 1.6 a3 sport '99 model which I use for recreational use (i.e. i don't do race tracks or anything like that - why would i in a 1.6? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif ). I've currently got Nankangs which, from my searches, are apparently crap. I've found a set of 4 Toyo Proxes T1-S's for £400 but I'm not really sure if they're worth it.
My questions are...
Should I be looking at the more expensive tyres considering I don't drive particularly fast and my car isn't exactly powerful compared to alot of the cars mentioned in these forums?
Would more expensive tyres last me longer than cheaper tyres, like the Toyo's, thus saving me a few quid in the long run?
This car has had the original wheels replaced (by the previous owner) and the tyres are now 225/40 18's.
Any advice is most appreciated.
