Tyres 165/50R15 73v

I'm using old stock Bridgestone Potenza RE040. They don't make them anymore.

 

Don't get 175 width I have used that width before it is spongy/terrible to drive on and doesn't corner very well and has to be pretty much forced onto the rim.

If you're looking for tyres I ordered mine from here: https://www.camskill.co.uk
I admit they are a budget tyre as I was looking at cost, however I find them just as good if not better than the standard Bridgestone fit tyre that originally came with the car.
*Just be sure to triple check the size as internet sites like to offer 'suggestions' that will not fit.*

The tyres I bought were:
HF805:4584[4] Hifly Tyres / Car / Hifly £113.60
165/50 R15 72V
Fuel Eff.: E
Wet Grip: C
NoiseClass: 2 Noise: 70dB
CARRIAGE £15.80
ORDER TOTAL £129.40
(Prices are from when I ordered them back in October 2020)

I put these into my car and went to a decent garage to get them fitted at a cost of about another £40. So in all it cost me ~£170 for 4 tyres. It also might be worth getting tracking done if you're having a set of fresh tyres on, I got a 4 wheel alignment done at National Tyres but it's not necessary if you didn't have any tracking issues before.

**Update the tyre might not be available on that site anymore (I found the link through a 3rd party site that linked to camskill stock rather than flicking through their site).
I have found another site to try here: Shop • Save on Tyres

Hifly seems to be the go to tyre brand/size available for this car at the moment.

 

Good luck finding what you need.

 

The tyres are pretty decent in the wet in real world conditions even when pressing on a little and hitting standing water. I have also been driving in 2 inches of poweded snow recently and they do pretty well in that too. The tyre rating of C for wet braking distance in my experience does seem right for this tyre (Rating from A best to G worst). Like with all summer tyres of this type it is best to be cautious a little in cold weather (Below 7degrees).

Oh, here are some examples of price differences when it comes to this tyre manufacturer from different suppliers:

RAC Tyres Top brands and prices you'll love - RAC Tyres (Local fit and delivered options)
ASDA Tyres Who knew Asda did tyres? (ASDA does tyres! Fitting only available at this time Mail Order is sold out)

Hope this helps.
