Sienna PI Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Hi All! I am looking to re new the tyres on my PI. I am using Stag alloys and currently use Bridgestones 185 x 70 x 14 88H. I probably cover around 2000 - 3000 miles per year as well as the odd Club T event now and again; RBRR, 10CR, or C2C on top of this mileage. I do not think I drive particularly hard (cornering etc) but do keep a fair speed for sustained times on motorways etc. A friend of mine suggested buying tyres online as he can change the tyres, valves and balance the wheels for me to try and keep costs down. Any sensible(!) suggestions as to which brand would be appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topic63 Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I’m a massive fan of Avon tyres, fitted them to various cars (classic & new) they’re quiet, economical and last, even when compared to the premium brands they’re better on all ratings......but that’s just me, love em 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkshire_spam Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 I'd go for Falken Sincera SN832A Ecorun a great all-round tyre with excellent wet grip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think they are discontinued, replaced by the sn110. But seems they too are good. Lots of people liking uniroyals. Nice soft compound, so wear a little faster, but great grip and again, outstanding in the wet. Buying online should save about £60-80 a set of 4.

Interesting, 185/70r14 SN832A still listed on BlackCircles, wonder if it's just remaining stock? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin R Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Bought mine in August and were available from a number of suppliers. Mine were for a Spitfire 1500 so may not be available in bigger sizes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogsbody47uk Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 I have 165/80 Uniroyals on my 13/60. Can't fault them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrapman Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 I have had a few sets of Maxxis over the years, latest set have now done 2 RBRR, they were free, so even better! Really good value for only if I had paid for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sienna PI Posted October 15, 2021 Author Share Posted October 15, 2021 Thank you all for your helpful comments! I have decided to go for the Falken SN832A Ecoruns at £60 each incl valve, balance, disposal of old tyre and VAT. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
