Hi All,

Just wanted to canvas your thoughts on tyres. The missus drives a Nissan Qashqai and it's getting close to needing its first replacement tyres. There's a frustratingly poor selection available for it - in essence 1 premium brand (Continental), 1 budget (Nankang) and nothing in what you'd consider the mid range brands.

Price-wise there's £75 per tyre difference between these 2 (£180 vs £105) - so my questions are, what would you stick on it and what's the material difference between them? I'm guessing it's a combination of wear rate and stopping distances? To be fair, the Continentals it came with have covered 20k miles, which can't be argued with - but I'm curious to know how the Nankangs would stand up, as well as interested in saving £300 in the process.

Any thoughts?

You did a new post for each tyre. Sweet. If you have a spare, please post again. Much luv x

 

I'd go Continental. Why scrimp on the thing that connects your wife to the road? Do not answer that.

 

Hi again. It's me. I answered in the other thread. If you have seen this thread first, then please see the answer I gave in the other one. Ignore the one where I'm taking the piss because you have posted the same thing a few times.

 

Hello there. Not heard from you for ages. Oh, sorry, that's wrong. I have. I just saw you a minute ago, didn't I?
