    No expense spared on the tyres anyway.

    I do have to wonder about the man who names Landsail. It's literally only one step away from Aquaplane! Yet chumps still go out and buy them :rolleyes:

    I do love a good wagon R

    I removed the image from the quote.

    I see this car almost every weekend parked at Blanchardstown centre and also sometimes cruising like a boss on Navan Road. I'm gonna be very sad if she'll sell it :(

    Triangle tires too! Like of all the names, name them after the last thing you want your wheels to be shaped like

    whilst I agree the car looks skangery, lets not jump to wild claims regarding the tyres

    No, they're definitely ****.

    A family member has a 12 Mondeo that I would have the use of on occasion. It's on it's 3rd set of tyres, it was supplied with Firestones, had Firestone replacements and is now on Landsails.

    Firestone are fairly middle of the road but the Landsails are terrible. Road noise by comparison to the Firestones is something unreal. Dry grip is ok but wet grip again is crap. The car always felt planted at speed in the wet on the Firestones but you just dont get that from the Landsails, changing lanes at 120km/h they make you very aware that they are struggling.

    Honestly, it's more about knowing what you're talking about.

    You know what they say about the opinions of a fool.

    First hand experience. 2005 Avensis in the rain with landsails all round. Never again. They're fine for the aul lad going back and forward for the paper. I thought I had a puncture in the early morning M50 traffic the car was that skittish. No thanks.

    not at all colm. I try to give a balanced and courteous argument to the debate of budget tyres but certain posters decide to give abuse instead.

    Baffling really :confused:

    I never heard of landsails before but I'm sure glad I read this thread. I need two new tyres and just compared what I was going to buy with two landsails. Just saved over 200 notes.

    Thanks power pants

    I owe ye a pint

    We had landsails on a van. They were only 3 weeks old when we pulled them off and used them on the turf heap. Some amount of liftoff oversteer. My new car has cheap tyres on it and it's scary in the wet. My a3 had uniroyal rs3's. They didn't last long but at least I know I can rely on them when I really need them. Tyres could be the difference of a change of underpants and lying in a ditch somewhere. I will never skimp on tyres and brakes. All else is secondary.

    EDIT: whoops! missed that post
