replacing tyres

Post by Stephen255 »

Hello folks. want some advice please. Need to replace two tyres on my standard 1990 Holdsworth camper currently running: LVR185 R14C 102/100R
questions:
1. what makes would people recommend (for best all round performance, handling, longevity etc)
2. where to get them from, I have a local garage that can fit them 
thanks
Steve

Buy the best you can afford, I'd also recommend having the fitter supply the tyres.
Maxxi and continental are very decent alternatives to costly major brands.

Compare noise (dB), wet braking and rolling resistance against price.
GT Radial make a decent tyre for the money (PRC...) Falken are also worth a look in the middle price bracket (Japanese brand, mostly made in Thailand)
