Tyre advice

phelimb

Hi all,

looking for some advice on tyres....have Matador Hectorra3 XL all round but I need to replace the back set. Size is 225/40 R18. I find them a bit noisy but generally OK but two questions...

1) is there a good reason to replace like for like and keep all 4 the same make/model? (the front 2 are in good nick and may last another 6/12 months given the mileage I'm doing these days)
2) any other suggestions if I decide to go with a different make and replace all 4?

Cheers,
PB

As long as the tyres on the same axle are the same dimensions you are ok.

https://www.tyrereviews.com/ is great site with lots of reviews.
I usually recommend https://www.tyrereviews.com/Tyre/Uniroyal/RainSport-3.htm, good on wet Irish roads.

Seeing as I’ve the same size as you, I can tell you that I got good year efficientgrip performance for €110 fitted. They’re an excellent tyre in a few areas like noise, wear and grip.

Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance are excellent in my experience too.
