Default Tyres???

Orite everyone!! well iv got a set of verdestein giugiaro designs 234/40 zr 18 95y on my car at the moment needs two rear tyres really. I would rather keep to the same tyres I currently have. I went to my local tyre garage today he said he carnt get them for me but he does have :

P zero at 141
Goodyear F1 at 143
Yoko at 161
Are these prices over the top includes fitting mind.

What are your thoughs now stick with the same brand I have? is it okay to have a different brand on the back to the front tyres? Last question where can i get verdestein giugiaro design tyres from? Your help and advise will be much appreciated guys

I tried to get the Giugiaro's for mine over a year ago and was told they weren't available any more.

I'd have a think about the Vredestein sessanta's if I were you.

If your two remaining are under 3mm it's well worth changing those at the same time anyways, even though they are legal, they will take longer to stop in rain and can unsettle the car.

In all the years I've had impreza's (on my forth now and had them for 12 years now)they have always seemed to wear out together.

Tried most makes and really liked the conti's and dunlops

Worth checking camskill and then add up to a tenner a corner for fitting
