Hey all,
Just wondering if anyone will be changing the tyres at all for their new car, either early on or after they've worn out? (NB - besides sticking on winter tyres
)
If I'm correct, the standard tyres are 215/45R17 87W Michelin Pilot Primacy which cost roughly £135 per corner fully fitted and are "Premium Touring Summer" tyres which according to this site:
http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Michelin/Primacy-HP.htm
aren't actually that bad compared to "Max Performance Summer" tyres such as "Continental Sport Contact 3" which I've been running on my Clio 200 and they've been great and are actually slightly cheaper (roughly £120 per corner fully fitted):

I don't know why but when people say they're tyres off a Prius, I was thinking they would be cheaper eco tyres....or is this just me?
