Nexen or Falken?

[WipeOut]

Need some new tyres for my A4 Quattro Cabrio.. Original Contis are silly money so looking at the cheaper options.. Want to try keep it to around £100 per corner..

Seems the best options are Nexen N6000 or Falken ZE-912.. I have no expeience with either brand so looking for opinions of which is better??

Or is there another brand I have missed?

Thanks..

Falkens all the way. I would look for the sport ones, best budget tyres you can buy for under 100 quid a corner...

I have Falkens on my XJ and they are superb
Quiet and grip well in all conditions

I'm so impressed I am considering sticking a set on the A8

i would agree, nexen are a budget make and built to a price. i would also consider dunlop if you can get them/afford them. they are normall well priced and are a great tyre. i have had experience of BFgoodrich, and they were great, i would consider these too if you can get them.

For a rew quid extra, go for Vredestein Sessantas. They have a quirky tread pattern but the do the job!

I've got a set on the A4 quarttro and I've jus bought a set for the Z4. First choice tyre for me.

go for the Falkens, check out Avons as well, nankangs aren't too bad either.

Whatever tyre you choose, do it sooner rather than later - there has been price increases since your original post! So while you have been looking about and trying to save a few quid, the prices have gone up - I know 'cos it happened to me! It would also be a good idea to have a look at the tyre test web sites - www.tyretest.com one site you could use.

I think you'll struggle to get decent rubber at under a £100 now!

Would you use brake pads "Made in China"
