Which tyres should I choose for Kia Sportage?

I have a Kia Sportage 2.0-litre hybrid diesel 2019. So far so good. The tyres from new are Continental 245/45/R19 98W and have done 18,000 miles. My local Kia dealer suggests Ilink 245/45/19 W 392 as a good value replacement at £132 each. Mileage circa 8,000 per year.

When it comes to choosing new tyres, it's worth putting your car reg into a website like Kwik Fit or Blackcircles (plenty more to choose from). They'll tell you what tyres fit your car and rate them for things like dry/wet weather grip and noise. They also have user reviews that should give you a good idea what's option is best for you and your budget. I've never heard of IIink tyres but if the reviews are good, I see no reason not to use them, although they're unlikely to perform as well as a household brand.
