Tyre Recommendations
 

Finally having gotten money, i've put the car into have the clutch changed, and i've decided to invest in a pair of tyres to replace the worn rear ones (2.2mm tread). I've just paid ?116 for a pair of Nexen N2000's in 225/50/16 V, however, the tyres on the front are a pair of bridgestones with at least 5mm of tread left. Seeing as they're a more well known brand, should i put the new ones on the back, or rotate them, giving me the part-worn bridgestones on the rear and new N2000's on the front?

Just for clarification - these are the ones i bought: http://www.nexentire.co.kr/english/p...N2000&expend=1

I like the tread pattern on those ALOT!! I'd put the new on the back unless you want to replace the others fairly soon. I have usually experienced the wheels under power wearing more quickly then the other two. Either way would work but the whole idea of new tires is more traction so I'd put them on the back.

Well, i put them on the back because yes, common sense kinda dictated it...

However, because i had the clutch and the tyres done at the same time, I have a slight problem. At 30mph and under, theres a vibration, kinda rumble and you can easily feel it when you're sat in the drivers seat. Could the clutch be misaligned, or could the tyres be improperly balanced?

Go back to the garage where it was done. Have the alignment/tire guy go for a ride with you. He will be able to tell you immediately.

Hrm - not possible. At least not at this place. It's just a tyre place just off the A1010, and all they do, is fitting tyres all day and supplying them. I'll take it to another Tyre place on monday and pay ?50 for the privilege of being told 'those tyres are crap' or something :S
