Bluemotion
a 45 mile commute down motorway every daybut
Not interested in "energy saving"
Confused? Michelin Energy+ on my van, seem grippy enough. About £60 each for a 15" with a higher weight rating.
Emyr-
Ah I mean that having thr name of the tyre model have the word "eco" in thr title is not a pre requisite. Had a run of "eco" titled tyres around 2009/11 on various work vehicles and were imo, all dangerously low on grip compared to any run of the mill tyre theat wasn't fitted by company contract hire garage. (all mk5 golf gt tdi and e320 cars, about 30 odd of them, so very useful to be able to jump in one with different tyres and compare difference back to back on same roads on same days).
I imagine the eco branded stuff has moved on (blue response by maxxis seem to be a good one?).Based on last few days of looking prob just going to get uniroyal rain expert 3. Saw a set in thr flesh on another bluemotion polo nearby, owner said they were best tyre he's had on it, and he's had iy since 2009 new.previous tyres were always what thr dealership fitted(most recently conti eco contact 3 or 5 I think he said).

Anyone got any recommendations for small car tyres?
Need 165/70 r14 for the bluemotion polo. They are like little pram wheels. Not interested in "energy saving" or budget garbage.
For tye misses who does a 45 mile commute down motorway every day in Scotland through the winter (next to clyde though so not artic conditions!).
Been impressed with NOKIAn z lines on the volvo, excellent in the wet (and very good in the dry for a £90/110 a corner tyre) second only to a dedicated wet Road summer like a uniroyal rs3
Seen uniroyal do a 3 season wet weather tyre think it's a rain expert? Any good, or is iy an older tyre?
Price not really fussed, no Road tyre in 14" is a lpt of money lol
