Which tyres are the best value for my Toyota Avensis?
My car is an Toyota Avensis driven moderately, an occasional longer trip to France in the winter for skiing - no more than 10,000 miles a year. I need new tyres, and value for money consistent with safety is my foremost priority. Any tips? I know you are keen on runflats but they seem expensive.

Generally I recommend Michelin Energy Saver or lower profile Michelin Pilot Primacy HP. They last 20 per cent - 60 per cent longer and are generally more expensive, though someone, somewhere, always has an offer on to bring their prices back into line.
From choosing the right tyre to what to do when it goes wrong - we have the answers.
