Just a wee heads up for a tyre choice.
We put Uniroyal Rain Expert 5 tyres on our QQ around two years ago, just had a service done at our Nissan Dealership and their free health check noted that the tyres had 6mm on the front, 7mm on the rears. Not bad for 2 years usage.
I'd highly recommend this tyre, great in the dry, even better in the wet and at around £82 per tyre they do not break the bank. I would highly recommend them
Forgot to say that the Uniyoyal tyres have done around 18K since fitted.
When purchased the car was at 18k and the original tyres (Bridgestone's) were virtually bald (around 1.6mm) so 4 new tyres were needed.

What size are the tyres ?

However I've noticed that tyres have increased significantly since my purchse, they are now around the £100 mark.
I've had numerous makes of tyre on various vehicles but found these to be the best all round, and the tread wear is minimal after just a tad over 18K.
Sorry to drag this old thread up, but about to buy 2 tyres for my QQ, but the OP says in the thread Uniroyal Rain Expert 5 but his signature says Uniroyal Rainsport 5. Can you confirm which tyres you have please.
Past cars Mercedes B Class, S Class, E Class Estate, E Class Coupe, G Wagen, 260E interspersed with Peugeot 406 and Audi Coupe.
Got 42k miles out of the original Continentals on the front (18 inch wheels), rears still lots of tread. Replaced fronts with Dunlop Sportmax RT2s, good grip, slightly quieter and they provide excellent protection for the alloy rims.
