It's interesting how people get a favourite and tend to stick with it. I'm a bit of a Michelin fan, but seldom keep my cars long enough to swap tyres. I'm fairly price driven, but like a name brand. Gone with Goodyear mostly in the last decade but will be looking for the quietest name brand when I replace the SR's tyres. Looking like i'll get at least 50K out of them so that's another 12 months i've got up my sleeve to decide.

Your tyres aren’t wearing well Dazz, they’re the same as my tyres and I’ll get at least 80k out of mine ( 45k already ), I guess all them twisting Tassie roads might add some early wear to them Michelin Sport 4 will be my next choice though, they’re quieter with much better stability and similar 80k lifespan.

That's interesting. I've posted quite a few reviews on Product reviews dot com, but most of them have been relatively positive.I did post one about a transmission issue with my previous X300 John Deere mower and wonder if the local distributor read it, as they were quite helpful when i chewed their ear. They tried to fix it without much success and then gave me a fairly generous trade on a zero turn mower. I like Product review and Trip Advisor. I am either number one or number two reviewer in Devonport for Trip advisor now (280 reviews) just waiting on a leaderboard update email.

Interesting.I've just read the Goodyear and Michelin ones.They seem to cover it reasonably well but I'll send a note off to my mate and get an update on Australian recommendations and warranty periods.
I have to say i have always been aware of the dangers of damage to rubber in tyres through poor storage, bad stacking during transport and the effects of heats especially direct sunlight.

Also, car tyres especially if the car is used regularly probably will wear out before any issues arise. Not so with trailers.Incidentally, my reply from my mate came from a ship somewhere off the coast of Spain as he and his wife are cruising. The final destination is Norway. Gotta love modern technology.
