There is no form of regulation on the ratings of tyres really so it's completely irrelevant what they say.

I'd say you've probably got too much torque for them, they will just spin up all the time.

Yeah I'm told they will be ok? Also not lowering car so need more grip. handles so crap in the dry and even worse in rain with 195s, didn't think 215s would make much difference.

well its my mums car and shes a mason! should be ok then shouldn't it? lol

Masonry = the biggest terrorist organisation in the world. being proud of being a mason is like being proud of being a terrorist, if terrorism was real I mean. eg I'm apart of a organisation that tries taking over the world and kills innocent people for a living and im ok with that?

They will be priced accordingly. Pay more, get better. Nothing wrong with them unless you drive like a formula go kart racer tbh.

If that's all your budget will allow.

What price are you being quoted including fitting out of interest?

Read the reviews online and make up your own mind from there.

I run budget tyres on the daily. I was very skeptical and took advise. I however don't throw this car into bends at 90 MPH or tear around town. I don't tow anything and 99.9% of the time i'm the only person in the car.

I actually have these on my wifes car, put them on solely as they are cheap and she never drives over 30mph anyway

but after driving her car, they are much better than I thought they would be. They are surprisingly good even in the wet.
