Do you find the new tyre rating system useful? Have you decided on which tyre to buy on the strength of this?

Which factors are the most important to you?

For me it is wet grip, noise and wear rate. You probably have different priorities to me though.
 
I think that's everyone's priorities - the trick is achieving a pleasing compromise and not spending millions of pounds.

Thing is we've had the Traction, Treadwear and Temperature ratings for some time anyway.

The new system is only a development of this really.

My preference is to shop around for a good price on premium brand tyres - they are better than budgets, no question.

Mid range tyres can be very good indeed but in my experience you can shop around and only spend a few more pounds to get into the high end marketplace.
 
I buy premium brands and reap the rewards of long life.
I do not like low profiles as in everyday driving I don,t see any benefit.
