The back tyres are pretty worn and are Contis, the front are 'Power Touring', made in China (!) and are nearly new. The first thing I checked when I bought it was the tyre pressures,as they felt far too high, but they were actually about 30psi, I am running at 35psi now, because that is what is recommended. The size is 195/60, or 65 can't remember.
I think I may have answered my own question, it needs new quality tyres - yes?
The car is one owner from new when I bought it it, with main dealer history, so I don't think it has been modified, but the ride is firmer than I remember, really thumps on speed bumps etc.
