Continental cross contact tyres yes or no?
Quick one chaps..........
Anyone tell me what the wear rate is on the above tyre? i.e what kind of mileage to expect out of them?
Im tempted in buying a set of stormers and not sure if to go 'budget' or to 'upgrade' to conti's
Is it worth it ?

Watch out on eBay for peeps upgrading and selling off new takeoffs for about £200 for 4 wheels and tyres. My last set cost £165. Also try local dealers as they may have new wheels & tyres from upgrading, remembering £200 a set.

I ran 20" Conti cross contacts, then changed to Grabber UHP's.
Found the Grabber a much better tyre for ride comfort and wear.
On Cooper LTZ AT's now ... even better.I was a normal heterosexual chap, but in these new woke awakenings I now identify as a Wardrobe.

Definately Contis then rather than some unknown budget brand made god knows where. Watch weight ratings as you need 111, not the 108 for the same tyres from a RRS.

Deal is now not happening
They were 295/45/20 weight rated at 114 so would have been fine
