Anyone come across these? My old boy is looking for some new rubber for his Mondy. The size he is after is 235/40-18. He has found these Barum items which has a price he likes. Has anyone come across them? A bit of internet searching reveals they are owned by Contintal. He ain'tno street racer and he doesn't rip up the B roads. All he wants is a tyre which won't throw him off at the first corner, has good life and doesn't cost the earth.
Suggestions, opinions etc

...btw, he was quoted £100 a corner fitted

they're better than most of the unknown budget tyres.

iirc federal are pirelli and stunner are michelin so maybe worth a look. hankook are pretty good for the money, as are toyos though, if he can stretch to something that may save his life

camskill mailorder then paying a local shop to fit them may be cost effective too.

just had a quick look and avon zz3 and kumho ecstas are both around the £90 mark, leaving you money for fitting. Both better tyres imho, the kumhos more so.

I'm off to get a pair for the wife's Zafira today, based on excellent rating in Auto Express / ADAC / and ratings on t'internet.. They are priced the same as Contis here, but if you buy 2, the second is half price.
