Citroën C5
(225/45 R17) on
a combination of roads
for 12
average miles
Had three of these on the car since I bought it. It is a heavy Citroen C5 2.2 turbo diesel. Absolutely no problems. Don't buy a budget tire then drive like a nutcase. They do the job fairly well. 12,000 miles mixed urban and motorway. Not the quietest tires around, but by no means the noisiest. The other tire on my car when I bought it is a Falken, and it is just barely legal now, whereas the Federals have 5 mm minimum on them. Progressiveness is pretty good do, but I tend to drive to suit the weather and my abilities, so the boy racers and "expert" drivers might disagree. (I have my ROSPA advanced drivers qualification) Have a look at Tiff Needhams trials with premium and budget tires if you think premium will always stop you quicker.
