Yes, agree tyres are expensive, for the Bridgestone tyres I had there were around £180-220 (depending on when prices went up and down and I didn’t like the handling of those, at times it felt like the car was not touching the road, very disconcerting when your driving along.
The good year tyres I had on the previous car to above was much better.
The Pirellis I’d had, never seem to last very long before they need changing and I too am not doing very high mileage, they just seem to wear more easily some how. There were cheaper though as were smaller wheels.
On my current car, they are Mitchelin’s and I think are wearing ok so will see how these goes. Wheels not as bit as the goodyear/Bridgestone ones but bit smaller so will see how they fair. Car is due service in Jan so will get the low down on the tyres then and see how they are fairing.
Only good thing so far is I’m under the mileage limit so far and hopefully should still be under it come Jan. Only meant to do 9k a year. Downside is I’m literally only using it for work, not been using it to go anywhere else in but hoping if a good but under in Jan, I can start to use it a bit next year and then later that year comes the decision to either buy it, hand it back or switch to a different car. I’m leaning towards possibly buying it and then trading it in for a used car upto 1 year old with lowish miles on it as bit too costly to take new deal now, want quiet a bit more money each month, just can’t afford to do it or really justify the cost.
