Premium tyres

[Lubrown]

I'll probably go with Goodyear eagles but need (WANT) new wheels first .

I’m patiently waiting for my tyres to wear enough to justify their replacement… along with new wheels.

When they get to 3mm tread I’ll sell the current wheels and tyres. Nobody is goi no to pay mega bucks as they are Colmars (16” OE wheels) so probably no point selling while they have lots of tread life left.

Yeah, 16's never seem to have much of a following for some reason .

I bought a used set of wheels and tyres with Devanti winters on. Over 3 years ago. I'm still waiting for them to wear out over 30000 miles later. Running them all year round as well.
Just about getting there so will be looking for new wheels and therefore tyres again. I might give the CC3 ago, as the CC2 get better fuel economy ratings and noise levels than any of the summer tyres I've looked at.

We were camping in Moffat recently and there was a t6.1 on site similar to mine and I noticed he was running 20 inch wheels same as me on pilot sport 4 “suv” Tyres’s. Are these fine to run on t6? I’ve always used Michelin on all my performance cars they are superb so keen to go with them once my hedgefinders are worn out. They came as part of the camper conversion when I bought the van.

The only thing with EU noise rating labels on tyres is that it shows the decibel level from the outside as a vehicle passes but this doesn’t always translate to interior noise where pitch and tone make more impact than decibels.
It’s covered briefly in the linked video on CC3s.
Makes it hard to find a quiet tyre for vehicle occupants as this is usually only measured subjectively in reviews.

My Hankooks were the quietest by far on the label but, from inside while driving, don’t seem as quite as the Michelins I had before.

Tricky.

Yes, it is tricky. I was aware of that and I fully agree it makes it hard to find a quiet tyre. I don’t know another way they could measure though as it would vary too much inside different vehicles to be done that way.

However I would hope that if there is more than a couple of dB difference then the lower rated tyres would be quieter inside as well as outside.

Tyres can be a bit of a Marmite thing...

I personally have always hated Michelin for anything other than how long they last. The sidewalls are too soft and can ruin the handling on cars. Not so sure I'd notice on the van.

Have had a few cars on Bridgestone Potenzas and they have peformed well but not lasted 2 mins.

RS3 had all 4 replaced at 8k miles.

Currently on Davanti's on the van and seem to be fine but like I say, not sure I would notice much difference on a van.
