Been offered a pair of these in 205/55/R 16 V rated for £130 all in, these tyres any good? price seems very competative, cheaper than MyTyres.

They were great on the ALfa much better than the P6000 that they replaced, only better tyre in my view is the G/Y GSD3 F1 but they're more money.

Istr that these tyres have recently been revised and that there are old and new versions in the channel. No idea what the difference is but it might make a difference

Go for it.

I had some 195/60/R 15 V on my Mondeo and they lasted 22k even with plenty of press on driving thrown in round the airfield I frequent at weekends.

I paid £110 to replace mine a couple of weeks ago so £130 is a good price for a larger size.

Excellent tyres, got about 32k out of the fronts fitted to my Vectra SRi turbo, rears still have half tread left. I paid about £125 each for replacements (215 / 17" wheels). Many places wanted about £175.

These were the remaining factory fit options (at the rear) fitted to my mondeo when I bought it at 1-year old. I could quite easily get them to squeal when driving round corners quickly - suggesting not much grip. At bit hairy, but if nothing else predictable around 'oily' roundabouts. Replaced them with Bridgstones RE720 which are MUCH better.

I've got 195/60 R15 88V on my 2.0 Focus and I've got no complaints about grip, quietness, life or cost.
