    Need to get new tryes (205 55 R16). The following are the best prices I can get:

    Kuhmo - 70
    Hankook - 75
    Pirelli - 80
    Continental - 85
    Michelin - 95

    Just wondering which should I go for and which is a good price for the brand ?
    Thanks

    The Pirellis are probably the best compromise.
    Obviously each brand has different models of tyres. We'll assume they're the most basic versions.
    None of those are bad, Kumho and Hankook are decent budget tyres.

    Hankook are a decent tyre, seems like a good price there.

    I have Hankooks (Kinergy Eco K425) on a similarly heavy car (Honda FR-V) and I must say they do a very good job. Quiet, grippy in all conditions and at 75 euros a corner I paid very good value. I have had Uniroyals, Vredesteins and Dunlops before and these are certainly on par.

    Went with the Continentals in the end anyway so hopefully they last a few years
