Tyre recommendations - 156 SW

Any recommendations? 156 SportWagon 1.9 JTD (205/55/16) Need new front
tyres to replace the Uniroyal Rainsports I have at the moment. They
lasted about 26,000 miles (is that reasonable?). I reckon the rear
tyres (replaced at the same time) have about 3000 miles left in them.

Definitely compromising between pricing/quality/longevity, so have
found in the £70-80 price range
Avon ZV5
Pirelli P600
Firestone TZ200
Firestone TZ300

Thanks
Charlie

Assuming you mean P6000...

These ones.

Bridgestone Turanza ER300 - 205/55-16

Is very highly recommended by ADAC Germany and many Alfaisti here in Denmark

Aslan

I sell tyres - Turanza and Firestone (both models) are OK
Good compromise !!!!

Haven't tried them on my 156 yet, but in the past I've found Vredestein
tyres to be excellent - good performance, longevity, and low tyre noise,
and importantly, mid-priced (around £60)

Not these..... they may only be one zero short of P6000, but they're
nowhere near as good.

Pirelli P6000s are my choice time after time on Alfas.

I see the Bridgestone ER300 has been mentioned - they're a good tyre,
but probably more suited to heavier cars (I had them on the uber-lardy
current model Passat).
