Is220d Needs New Tyres!

[pm79]

Hey Everybody,

I was wondering if somebody can help me please. Front tyres of my 220d have gone below the legal limits in first 20k miles. They were Bridgestone tyres. I am quite confused now which one should I get now. I need tyres which are quiet and have got good grip in both wet and dry roads.. tyre size is 205/55/R16/W And if somebody knows a good cheap garage in/around Leicester then it would be fab. Thanks

Thanks mate.... :) I hope I get some advice soon as more I am reading on different tyres more confused I am. There are so many mixed reviews for all tyres. the tyres I have checked out so far are

1) Goodyear NCT5

2)Michelin Primary HP (but they are more like summer tyres)

3) Continental SP cont 2

4) Michelin Pilot Primacy G1

5) Dunlop sp2000 and sp01

Now I am very confused . Probably I am being greedy that I want all qualities in the tyre --- that is long tread life, all weather, quiet and good grip, value for money... I hope I get an answer soon.. Is there any other tyre which should go on this list!!!
