Is there much difference between tyres? - Man without a plan
Morning all....

So the girlfriends Fiesta needs new tyres and we have used the local HiQ a lot before and they are always friendly, helpful and honest..... so we'll probably go back there....

Anyway just had a quick look on Kwikfit, HiQ and National Tyres.

I'm now stuck to decide if there is any real difference between:

Pirelli P Zero Nero
Dunlop SP Sport 9000 MFS
Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3
Michelin Pilot Primacy

So specific to the above and in general, is there much / any difference between the brand name tyres?

The girlfriend is an enthusiastic but not fast driver and the same for me, so are we going to gain anything more paying £10 or £20 a tyre more for the Michelin's over the Pirelli's? Will they be any safer or save more fuel etc etc?
