Tyres again (sorry!!) - opinions?

blastman

Hi folks, need to put new tyres on the car (e46 320i) and I notice that there's an offer on VR Semperit Speedlife tyres in the right size (195/65/15) for €65 a tyre. Just wondering if these a decent/suitable tyre for the car, and if that is a good price?

Cheap brand tire, maybe questionable wet performance given what's said above. Did you get any other options?

Not yet. I'm hoping to stay below €300 for the four tyres, but want something half decent too.

I think you can buy decent mid-range or even premium brands for that size if you go online

I recommend ones below in link above
Uniroyal Rainexpert
Kumho KH27
Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance
Hankook Ventus Prime 2 K115
Dunlop Sport BluResponse

I bet you'd get a lot of tire places to give you the above tires in that size at close to that price too. Just ring around and ask for specific tires.
