New sumer tyres receommendation please

gooner99

Hi. Looking for advice as I need some new summer tyres for my golf (r15/195/65). Had my winter set on (goodyear ultragrip8 from eiretyres), which were very good in the wet and excellent in the wee bit of snow we got in the Donegal mountains. Anyway my summer rims need new tyres now. Had Kormorans on there, purely cause I had a set before and the wear was great and not too bad in the wet.But the newer Kormorans (directional) I put on weren't as good on wear and worse in the wet. So basically I want a good tyre in terms of wear and performance. I know it can be a trade off between wear and performance, as they don't usually go hand in hand. My car is a Golf mk5 1.4 and I'm not a hard driver.Any recent experience of good performing tyres that also wear well in my size?

How much are you looking to spend? Hard to give recommendations without knowing your budget.

The last two sets of tires I had on my car were Kumho and Falken; both mid range tires and I had no complaints with either.

Bridgestone Turanza T001, available in your size for approx €80 per tyre including fitting and balancing. I have them on my car (in a different size) and find them great.

I got some kumho ku39's recently after reading reviews on tyre review. Great source of info so you have an idea what your buying. Anyway here's the review on the above tyres George posted about: http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Bridgestone/Turanza-T001.htm .

Vredstein Sportrac 5's get an even better review and are even cheaper;
