Hi, member of AA since 1979.
I have a NZ new 2012 Skoda Superb Wagon since new and have done 63000Km on the original set of Continental Sport Contact tires and am looking at purchasing either 4 new tires or three (as the spare is a Bridgestone Potenza RE003 Adrenalin) as the choice is so great in NZ now what is the best options for tyre choice i.e. "good, better, best" for my vehicle, tires i have prices on are as follows;

Bridgestone Potenza RE003 $237 each
Bridgestone Ecopia $227 each
Firestone F01 $174 each
Hankook Ventus V2 H457 $172 each
Hankook Ventus Prime 2 K115 $205 each and
Continental Premium Contact $271 each

I don't necessarily really need the same tires but some advice would be much appreciated.

Regards
Alan

Hi Alan,
I'm not really sure about specifics but they are all good brands, the choice would come down to price vs suitability for the conditions you drive on.
