Tyres

[minesapasty]

Right, I am going to have to bite the bullet and get some tyres, it isn't going to be cheap, but they need doing...... my e70 3.0d needs some new boots...... on all four corners

Front, drivers side (I'm in UK :P ) so I will translate -- "front right" outer edge has worn down, still enough so that I don't need to panic if pulled over by the lads in blue, but it is getting too close for comfort.

Rear, passenger side (YES, I'm still in the UK:-)) so rear left tyre, outer edge has also worn, but centre has worn too, getting very close to the wear marks, and I mean VERY close, and if caught by the boys in blue, it would cause brown marks on the underpants, points on my "clean licence" and a hefty fine.

All joking aside.... I really am looking for some honest advice.

I have read so many things about tyres, and I accept that people have their favourites, for whatever reason....... I just need someone to sell their preference, as I have been drowned by information, and really can't work out which I should go for.

My current tyres are Duellers, the sizes are front: 255/50/R19 107V and rears: 285/45/R19 111V

I have decided that I am going to stay with Run Flats, the car was designed to have them, so who am I to argue with the designers.

These 10 items in order of importance are the only things that I ask people to consider, when replying to my request for peoples opinions/advice.

! - 9. I carry my kids in the car, there aren't any other cargoes that I value more than my kids. Which brands do people consider as being the best tyres?

10. On the budget side, and in defence of my wallet, I would like to get a few miles out of a set, rather than worry about the road noise, the radio/CD volume can be increased after all :P

So, it's definitely safety first and if possible, a little bit towards value for money..... At £1000+ for a set of four matching tyres, I am looking for real advice from you experienced owners..... PLEASE !!!!
