 Having just replaced the original Continental front tyres I now realise the attempt to get mileage from the last couple of legal millimeters was not best policy. The improvement is so noticeable. Lighter, more accurate steering and a real pleasure. Toyos on the rear simply because my local tyre dealer said he couldn't get them any more. Of course they are available at mytyres.co.uk and always were.

I replaced all four of my OE Continentals on the 4/4 Sport at 17,000 miles as I believe it's the cheapest form of safety if you are a reasonably enthusiastic driver.
£160 for 4 Toyos all inc.
The inside edge on the fronts wear was my decider - camber set up helps it handle better when pressed. They are very skinny tyres so the small footprint needs to be effective.

I managed to convince our '99 4/4 owning friend to replace his tyres for the first time this year. He was pleasantly surprised at the difference it made.

I was thinking of putting some Avon CR6zz's on my 4/4 would the 167 tyre fit? I do not race they would be solely for road use and to improve handling, being used in this way what mileage is possible with these as they are a tad expesive? I know this is the how long is a piece of string question but would be grateful for views.

For a 4/4 on 5" rims for road use I would urge you to consider the Vredestein Sprint Classics, I love them, very predictable, decent wear characteristics, and they look just right on a 4/4. Narrow tyres complement the nimble handling, and they grip very well.
I can get mine to break away, but it's as a result of pretty brutal throttle openings in the lower gears, and I've got something over 165bhp to do it with. In normal driving they are perfect.
