Ford Focus Estate - tyres for 205 55 R16 91V - BenRM

I'm debating which tyres to go with, I only need 2.

Should I stick with the same, Pirelli P7 Cinturato

Or in the same quality / price bracket Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance or Avon ZV7, both with slightly better fuel, wet & sound/db rating.

Any suggestions welcome?

Thanks

I use Goodyear Eagle F1s on my Saab (it's a 270hp flyer!)

We've just replaced four tyres on my wifes car with Goodyear Efficient Grip and on th erear of my son's car with same.

We are very please with them. I can report that they shift the water on th eroad very well which we've needed recently!!

My Dad's brand new BMW 1Series came with GEG tyres from the factory.

Make sure you have the new tyres placed on the rear and the other pair you're keeping moved to the front.

I've been very happy with the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance on my Avensis - quiet, sure footed, and seem to wear OK (we really don't cover much miles so hard to say just yet)

I'd agree and add that they are great in the wet.
