MG4 ER - Time for new tyres

[DerekH]

Hi all. The time has come after 48,500kms to change the original bridgestones on my MG4 ER. Looking for input on replacements for Australian hot weather conditions. No ice, snow etc requirements . For the same Bridgestones I have been quoted $415 per tyre. An equiv maxxis EV tyre is around $350 each but I have zero knowledge or experience of Maxxis on cars. All and any input welcome. My main requirements are excellent wear and a quiet tyre.

Don’t waste money on OEM like for like replacements, I’ll have a peek at what’s out there nowadays and give you some advice as if I still sold tyres, but first I’m watching F1 haha!

I've been looking into replacements for my 77 too as I'm close to 40,000 KS and want to be prepared for when I do need new ones.

The Turanza 6 is the latest version of the tyre and supposedly is a bit quieter again with slightly improved rolling resistance as well.

Bob Jane currently shows them at $349 with the 005 at $384.

I've noticed they regularly have buy 4 / pay 3 sales on various brands and plan on waiting til I'm in need of new tires and then seeing what "low rolling resistance" models are available.

Thanks guys. So yeh seems the T6 is cheaper than the T5. Hard to find stock of either Bridgestone or maxxis locally though. So far T005 4 x $401 ($1,604), T006 4 x $349 ($1,396). Maxxis vs-ev 4 x $319 ($1,276) or on the get 4 and pay for 3 are Yokohama sport v108 total of $1348 and stock avail. Think I will try the yokahamas ??

They look to be suitable and being in stock is a bonus
