MG4 Tyres

[lylizi]

Does anyone know what tyres the MG4 is being shipped to the UK with? I noticed on the digital launch video that the car there was shod with Continental tyres, but didn't get to see the size and rating.

My car 2025 reg (but built in Dec 2023) has Bridgestone Turanzas on 235/45/R18 98W with tyre code T05QAZ

It will also depend if the car is an SE or a Trophy. SE has 17" rims, Trophy 18".

215/50 R17 for the SE.

I can't say with 100% certainty, but I think the 17" rims still come with Continental EcoContact tyres (Chinese version).

I've just spotted this thread at the bottom of the page and my ER Trophy came with Bridgestone Touranza T005's R18 and I've just discovered they had a reduced tread from new to reduce road noise. That's why they have only done 10600 miles

To be fair, (some?) other brands do the same with their EV tyres it seems, not just Bridgestone. But on a personal note I’ve never liked Turanza tyres, they have poor wet weather performance and poor wear for my driving style.

Ah that explains why my tyres only have 4mm left after just over 7,000 miles (nearly all motorway)

Hi Folks, has anybody found a good alternative to Bridgestone Touranza T005's R18 my Trophy ER was fitted with. I will need to change the rears maybe next month so wondering if anybody had any suggestions. The rears have done just shy of 14K miles.

Michelin Cross Climate seems to be the popular choice.

HI fellow ER owner, there's not many of us on here. I'm going to put Michelin Cross Climates on the rears and will order from Black Circles, I've not done it yet I want to see how many miles I can get from them, approaching 11000 now and it's not driven hard but getting near the knuckle. I see you are from Cornwall, do you use one pedal driving a lot I find it really useful on the rural roads round here.

Thanks Joules, the Michelin Cross Climates seem favourite so far. The Touranza's are very noisy, which is made worse by the quality of a lot of the roads in Cornwall. Not really keen on OPD, but saying that, have not given it along try. Though living in Cornwall, I am originally from Glasgow, via the Thames Valley (ex HP).

Thanks to yourself and Ian for replying to my post

Mixing all season and summer tyres is not a good idea, in snow you will end up with loads of grip at the rear but none at the front.

Fair point well made, let's hope we have a winter like last year and no snow hereabouts to speak of. The cost of replacing all 4 at the same time will be a stretch right now for this pensioner

There’s a parallel thread, about cross climates, running at the moment - with some shared input. Rightly or wrongly, in my 60 years of driving, I’ve never used anything other than summer tyres. We seem to have little ‘winter’ in East Anglia these days.

There is a post above about Michelin seeming to be the cross climates of choice. Can anyone please offer a summer tyre of choice?

I'm also down to 3mm on the rears after 9.5k miles, thinking of going with arrowspeeds as nothing can be worse than the original tyres.

If it's any help Goth Leo (SE LR) is down to 5mm rear and 6mm fronts after 15k on Goodyear Vectra All-Seasons. We changed the tyres soon after getting the car, as I didn't fancy a winter in northern Scotland with the factory tyres.
Driving home the day after Storm Floris, when the winds were still strong, reminded me that that horrible sideways drift when a crosswind hit on the factory tyres is gone.
