Need 2 new front tyres for 132 Honda CRV

    As per title, 132 1.6 diesel CRV on original Michelin Latitude Sport tyres.
    Fronts need replacing, rears still pretty good so at least another year + left there.
    225/60 R18
    Previous owner swapped for Winter tyres so hence their "long" life. About 65,000 kms on ODO.

    Really at sea here, so many to choose, looking for value but not sh1te at the same time.
    Eiretyres have the new generation of the current tyres for €154 a corner but with previous car's I've never spent as much (granted previous cars were smaller) so thrown a bit.

    Would also like to get a cheap steel rim and throw the best tyre onto it for a full sized spare in the boot but hard to track down, tried quite a few breakers...
    Think the 18" not that popular...

    Appreciate any advice or recommendations folks

    http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/ is handy to check particular model's user reviews.

    Quickly checking the online seller below. Nokian Line and Uniroyal rainsport 3 around 100-110 euro seem like a good value.

    If you currently have winters at the rear I suggest either buy 4 summer tyres or buy two winter tyres to ensure grip in rear axle is not far away from front axle in warmer days. Mixing them is not gonna push your car to ditch instantly but in an unexpected situation such difference can put you and your family at risk as car will oversteer if rears loses the grip.

    Yeah, had a look at tyre reviews earlier but they rated my current tyres down the list when they are stock tyres wearing well so kinda put me off.
    For reference currently have Michelin Latitude Sport on all corners...

    So back to this today, balancing price and reviews I'm looking at Yokohama Advan Sport V105, I've sourced online for €168 however I've also seen a 2016 Date of Manufacture price of €134 so the question I suppose is it worth a €34 saving per corner to get the cheaper/older tyre.
    I'm also thinking who's to say that if I buy the €168 tyre it may arrive as a 2017?

    ...and I've given up trying to but a rim, next to impossible for a decent price and nothing in breakers

    Online retailers generally mention manufacturing date to avoid hassle of returns etc for old stock. I doubt it will be older than 2018 if nothing is mentioned.

    And I would buy the fresh tyre as material got harder with time even it is not in use.

    Thanks, been reading up on "old" new tyres, mixed opinions but I totally get what you're saying.
    Could get a Dec16 versus a Jan18
