Help with choosing tyres

Recommended Posts

Looking at buying a new set of tyres for the hack, a 99 Ford Mondeo 2.0 (yes, horrible I know).

Currently has 2x Michelins, 1x Pirelli and 1x Firehawk. Handles horribly in the wet so figure I better replace all four with new matching tyres.

Size is 195/60/R15. Not after budget, but something midrange. Looked at some Goodyears for $130 and GT Continentals for $120. Will go and look at Toyo and Bridgestones later on, as I've had good experiences with them in the past.

What would you guys recommend? I realise this old slug ain't no performance car, but is it worth paying extra for directionals?

How many KMs do you do a year? I have had good experiences with Dunlop and Goodyear.

Not many, probably 15,000. Car is a hack but will still do some trips between Akl and Wlg, so want something that won't have me sliding into a bank on the desert road...
