Tyre of choice

[Essflee]

I've just bought some new rims and want to know which are the best tyres to go for and roughly what they cost ? Cheers...

Good Year Eagle F1's - Try Camskills.co.uk. Not sure the price depends on your size of rims but should be decdently priced.

If you do a lot of driving in poor conditions (i.e; live in Scotland) then Uniroyal RainSport 2s are very hard to fault. Heard they're great in the dry too.
Roughly £120 each for 18s I think.

Michelin pilot exalto's but cost a packet..!!!!

These are great tyres, had them as standard on my Clio182 and they were probably the best tyres i've had on a car.

Pzero rossos, good grip in wet and dry and wear well and don't cost a fortune. Sure I seen 1 of the major national tyre fitters doing a good offer on them. Like kwikfit or some1

[1animal1]

[Bignick]

£170 for two on ebay free delivery

 

[Bignick]

i have found pirellis are rubbish unless really warmed up so they dont last 5 mins

 

[1animal1]

what for 225/40/18's??? im guessing your on about 17's cos ive been keeping an eye on ebay for mine

 

[Bignick]

No they are 225 40 18

 

[fingermouse]

ZZ3`s here too

 

[16Klappe]

Toyo Proxes T1R, I've had them on one car I've owned and a fair few I've driven and they are awesome tires.

 

[1animal1]

Nick can you paste me the link from ebay cos when i search for Rosso's of that size on ebay none are below £100.....let alone £170 for 2!!

Running Pirellis Rosso's on mine.

No complaints so far and been running them for 6 months. Think I paid £104 each from blackcircles.com

michellin pilot sport ps2's on mine. very good in wet and excellent in dry. pricey though. approx £120-130 each

Good Year Eagle F1 GSD3s on mine, cant fault them, they are actually getting better and better.

I paid £109 per tyre Inc vat...

That was fitted, balanced and new valves...so not to bad really.

Some of the other top brands were between £115-125 + vat.

For the record I had reps on before, I picked one up when off the car with the tyre still on and they are stupidly heavy...

 

[1animal1]

thats good that mate.....im take it, it was a local garage as opposed to a main retailer like kwik fit
