"Is a treadwear rating 240 poor?
I did have old tyres with a 400 rating, so would last 40% longer  "
I think it's an American system based on a control tyre that's rated 100 so you can guesstimate roughly how much longer the higher rating will last
In theory a 600 tyre will last 3x longer than a 200 but it's not that scientific as I think the tyre manufacturers do the ratings ?
Apparently VW had a tyre that was rated 1200  |

They not all lab tested though, car manufacturers don’t have a great track record there. |

What do you want your tyres (other than save your life) to do?
Summer for spirited driving?
Winter tyre?
Eco?
I am moving over to all season and won't care about the cost or how long they last, it's about getting to work and friends that counts for me.
If I lived in a place with snow and had to work over the christmas period for instance, then would have a set of winters on and again wouldn't worry about cost, rather not have an accident than crash because I went for the cheapest tyre going!

No idea mate.
I've been waiting for months to hear about my tyres after I was done for two bald tyres.
I received a letter in the post today. They're asking me to fill the form out and post it back with a guilty or none guilty plea.
I have to plea guilty.. Do anyone know what the fine could be? |

"Yeah more than likely to get 6points and 160 fine plus court costs "
Yeah i was thinking something like that. I don't know why they have to take it to court though.. I mean the policeman told me about it and followed me to the tyre place to get them changed at the time.
I'm guilty of having bald tyres, I can't see the point in court action. |
