+This. The quality can be so variable and the results of spot tests done by various consumer watchdogs leave me adamant against ever getting part worn tyres.

I completely agree on part worn tyres. I would rather pay for new ones.

Just been called by the garage. Had an out of shape tyre at the front. *shrugs*. The guy said 2 tyres were also close to the legal limit and advised getting new ones before making the trip down south. £50 each works for me. Much better than the previous garage that was £100 each. Different tyres I think. Currently got Continentals. The garage didn't say what make but said they are V-Rated for speed on the motorway. Gotta be better than my current close to the legal limit tyres.

V rated for speed is all well and good but will they have the same grip as a £100 tyre when you're trying to stop from 70mph? I can see cars and tyres aren't really your thing, but it's something to think about next time around
