Default Big car tyres

Hi all,

I need some recommendations for some tyres for the Vectra, 1.9 Cdti. Need to be suitable for towing the caravan too!

Cheers,

G

I think I know where I can get them at a good price chief, it's just knowing what to get.

Need to have strong sidewall shizz going on for towing or summat The ones on it aren't, and feel a bit like Ballistics!

i recomend that you buy some that are better than the one's you currently have, as the last time i drove the car it was positively dangerous !!!!!

what size you on g?195/65/15,205/55/16,215/50/17,215/35/18,225/40/18 or what?worked for a tyre wholesaler for 17 years.need to know correct size,speed/load index.you dont need reinforced tyres as they are too hard and it will handle like a pig.it may be worth considering a directional tyre to aid response in wet conditions.uniroyal have recently released the rain expert range,reasonable price and a sexy bit of rubber if you are into that sort of thing.call me and we can have a lengthy discussion about your needs.my time and advice is free and i can point you to a few garages that will look after you.many thanks Jez-trackside support,tea maker,tuck shop and tyreman!!!!:thumbsup :
