    I was got some second hand tyres, and I can't find any info about them.
    I presume that they arent the best.

    First stop speed 1 205/55 r16
    Manufactured 17wk 2010

    Any ideas/comments

    Usually if you can't find information online they probably aren't great. I'm not saying all cheap tyres are poor but the vast majority are muck. I wouldn't put them on my own car.

    Premium branded part worn tyres are selling for reasonable money, I don't see any advantage of buying unknown budget part worn tyres. They were probably crap when new so imagin what they are like with thousands of miles on them.

    i didnt buy them as such

    they came with a set of alloys i bought last yr for my winter tyres.
    Back on summer tyres now, and i put 2 of the FirstStop on the rear, as much as i tried today in the wet to make them slip or spin i couldnt, (unless i turned off the ASC.

    They mightnt be great, but they seem to be ok, and better than some of teh chinese $hít

    They sound like a brand made for the First stop fast fit group.
    If so First Stop are owned by Bridgestone, maybe a rebranded Bridgestone or Firestone?
