Very interesting question, but you need to give far more information

Colour, black is popular but there are other options
Decoration, do you want white lettering and should it be on the inside or outside
Shape, again round is favourite but rather unimaginative
Do want to use them off road
Do you want to look as though you use them off road
Do you want them fitting or left in a heap on your drive by a courier
Would you like to go round corners in the wet forwards or sideways
Do you need the car to stop or are you happy to drive over the car in front

And most important - does size really matter

 

[toastwars]

Any or all of the above really, main consideration is that they contain more rubber than my current ones

Done the usual web search just thought that I would bathe in the Landyzone fountain of knowledge...still banging on the pipes as yet

Generally they're under the corners of the vehicle but there are exceptions....

Then taking them to kwikfit for fitting, had a chat to the fitter in my local branch and as long as the tyres are new with the labels on they're happy to fit them and just charge for fitting and balancing. Result me thinks

Matrix pumas from new life tyres are good, cheap too. I did 20k on a set before the fronts needed changing and they still had a bit of tread left.

20k miles is not very many miles, indicates a cheap quality.
