I must of spent over an hour on the phone yesterday trying to find a pair of tyres for my 1998 Laguna estate. The size I wanted was 195/65 R14.
Having towed using budget tyres before and finding that they offer little grip in the wet, I was looking for a mid range tyre that would do the job.
The pair I had on the front were Toyo proxis which gripped well but only lasted 18k miles.
I was offered a pair of Hankook optima 415's at £52 each fitted and balanced etc.
Has anyone used these tyres before?
Has anyone else had difficulty in finding tyres at sesible money for a car that is as popular as the Laguna or less than 10 years old. I phoned every tyre depot in Leominster (4) and Hereford (8) and only one had tyres in stock or could get some next day.
