"4 x Michelin’s on mine =. £400 ish. Why people pay a fortune for tyres I never know, it’s not like they are racing drivers...." I only pay for the named brands as I put safety first (especially with my kids in the car), yes I am sure cheaper tyres could do just as good a job, but I guess I'm a bit snobbish like that! | |||

" Run flats are poor just so you know this if you have a puncture they can only run another 50 mile on them Your far better off buying a cheaper tyre and putting green gue inside of them | |||

The rational being that tyre companies lose money selling to car manufacturers but make it up in the replacement market.

It doesn’t cost much more to make a high performance tyre than a normal one, it’s based on what they think people will pay. The main cost is in being able to manufacture the base compound in bulk and at a consistent quality. The thinking is if you had say Goodyear as new and they lasted 35k then you will buy the same. They won’t last as long. | |||

I feel the same though on a motorcyle the mistake for being cheap is life ending Motorcyclist here. Absolutely agree. " True, but being in the motorcycle trade I've seen uprated brakes and other go faster mods then looked at the shot tyres, or incorrectly fitted, split, damaged, bulging, etc. As the small patch of contact is all that keeps you in control, tyres need regular checks, correct pressure, otherwise it doesn't matter how expensive or good they are. Motorcycle tyre manufacture is getting more complex, they are now very high performance, but need looking after. Putting high spec tyres on a restricted 125, waste of time, could even be dangerous as they may not get hot enough, but the same tyre on a racing 125, and they will perform perfectly. | |||
