    The quotes of different tyre manufacturers vary according to the features. Like winter season 225 45/18 95V tyres of Goodride are available near €56.92 but as you didn't disclose the vehicle model, so it's tough to give you the right suggestion. However, if you are looking for all-season tyre with the specifications of 225 45/18, then you can see the cheap quotes here https://alltyres365.co.uk/search/?season=allseason&width=225&height=45&rim=18 . Yes, you can also make comparisons here either you place order here or not.

    Secondly, I heard from auto experts that it is good to replace all four tyres instead of replacing 2 because this thing can hurt the performance of the vehicle. Hopefully, you would find a good option. Pirelli and Goodyear could also be reliable choices in this regard. However, you should also see your seasonal requirements before buying tyres. On the other hand, it is better to go with local options because, in case of any problem, local mechanics would able to fix it quick. Usually, imported tyres give a headache when you find a lack of tyre accessories or repair service for them.

    Don’t listen to them, it’s nonsense to replace tyres that don’t need it, except for some very notable examples like supercars that have silly fragile AWD systems.

    Sure, if you need to shave a little off your lap times.

    Well that is complete nonsense. Replacing all four tyres when there's no need, in this day and age with all the focus on the environment and waste cutting, is surely coming from "experts" who work in the tyre industry and are certainly not auto experts.

    Even michelin advised against the min tyre limit being raised from 1.6mm to 3mm, saying it's costly, unnecessary and harmful to the environment.

    1.6mm in a nation where it rains a lot is too low. I can feel a very noticeable difference in grip once it gets past 2mm.

    On a side note, the Michelin tyre compound seems a lot harder than it used to be. My fronts were changed at 55k (at 1.6mm as it’s Leaseplan car) and my back ones are currently on 75k with plenty left on them still. I used to change on a host of different cars at 40-45k for years.

    'but I heard.....' What you heard was not advice, it was a sales pitch.

    Never forget that when you walk into a tyre shop or electrical retailer, the people you deal with are salesmen, they have one thing and only one thing in mind - to get you to buy something. If you think that they are giving you bona fide advice, you've done most of the work for them.

    I just rechecked. Few used it as sales pitched and few were genuine because I was asking about winter tyres. In case of seasonal tyres, they recommend replacing the all.
