Tyres for E320CDI

[mattsurf]

Can anyone recommend tyres for and E320 CDI estate

Primarily, I am looking for:
- Low noise level
- Good economy
- Long tyre life
- Won't cost too much

My car has standard 16 inch wheels with 215 55 profile tyres

Any help would be welcom

Thanks

I put NCT5 on the front and Pilot Primacy on the rear when I bought the car 17K miles ago. The NCTs look as though they have another 15k in them and the Michelins probably a little less. All in all I think i will go with the NCTs all round at replacement (incidentally the car was fitted with them at new) as I don't think the Michelin premium is worth paying on this tyre.

NCT5 cost around £100 each and the Michelins are quite a bit more expensive at around £135.

I put Vikings on my last 320CDI £360 for 4 inc fitting and vat. Used to use Continental Ecocontacts but no longer available. Vikings OK for grip, slightly noisier than the contis but no worse for fuel economy, appeared to wear quite well as well.
