|  Tyre time 205,55,r16's best budget. As it's getting older now, cant really be bothered to spend the 320 quid for four Michelen Pilot Primacy 205,55,r16's (octy elegance 110tdi) TBH I've loved my Michelins, grippy, great in the wet and have got me out of trouble on more than one occasion. Can anyone who has experience of the michelins, suggest a budget alternative that is pretty similar - great in wet and grippy??? - dont wanna go through net tho, rather do a tyre warehouse of somekind.

| Re: Tyre time 205,55,r16's best budget. I went from x4 Michelin Primacy HP's to x4 Kumho KU31's (205/55/16) and they're noticibly quieter than the michelins and grip just as well in the dry. I can't comment on wet weather as we haven't had any since I had them fitted.

| Re: Tyre time 205,55,r16's best budget. I got four Uniroyal Rainsports fitted to my Octy II in that size for £220. Very good performance , especially in the wet , and so far they seem to be lasting well.

| Re: Tyre time 205,55,r16's best budget. Vredestien Sportrac or Vredestien Hytrac or Goodyear Hydragrips would be my suggestions
