Black 197
Good Morning !
Right the old girl needs some new rubber but i'm torn on which rubber to buy !
The situation stands that im rolling on the conti's at present, i swapped the wheels from front to back 6 months ago so i have about 1mm legal tread before the 1.6mm border on the rear and about 3mm legal tread before the 1.6mm border on the fronts.
I dont know whether its worth putting the fronts on the rear again (4mm tread) and putting fresh tyres on the the rears and transfer them to the front if that makes sense lol
Now Conti's average £150 a piece so £300 for the pair give or take
Now i've seen loads of tyres and i know the conti's are great but as chrimbo is approaching plus i've got a lil one due in a month i'd rather replace all 4 and be done with it, I also dont have thousands in the bank and dont want budgets either !
I've seen a good deal on Parada spec 2's and can get 4 for £250 fitted.
Are they any good ? I dont track the car and dont drive like its stolen 24/7 so i need a tyre that is decent but not 888 territory.
Should i just do the above and buy the contis or brave it and replace all 4 with the paradas ?
BTW the parads are 215/40/17 W so i know the profile is slighly smaller but it's getting slammed soon anyway..
Advice on what to do for the best please or even better tyre recomendations with links/prices would be appreciated !
Thanks
