I have a 1.9DCi 130. Can anyone recomend a make and model of tyre that they've found the best all round? :)

I realy like my current tire, the Michelin Pilot Primacy!

It has been replaced by the Michelin Primacy HP:
https://www.michelin.co.uk/michelinuk/en ... 00251.html

Bit expensive, but they drive like the best I've ever had and last longer I think than the tires I had before.

Most important, with my previous tires (the stock Continental) I had a lot of aquaplaning, never had this with the Michelins

Hello, have to agree with the last post ! I have Primacy HP`s on my Scenic, they are good wet and dry, and have lasted twice as long as the OE Conti`s that were on there from new, regards Damian. :grin

they're alright so far. no noise. £66 each inflated with nitrogen gas. W rated so it's technically longer lasting rubber (opposed to H on the Michelin Energy's)
The Primacy HP's were £78.

I was told they use an old Michelin tread or something...

And why did you not choose for Michelin again? Is it mainly the price?

They are expensive... :-(
