What tyres?

Anyone got any recomendations for what tyres to get, not expensive but effective.

What have you got, where from and how much?

What size you running maca

For me Bridgestone re070 225/45/17 excellent tyres and use to be standard fitment I believe to sti's or toyo proxies t1r

I'm getting set of tyres next week and after trying Toyo t1r's and pirrelli p zero's I'm going back to using Yokohama parada spec 2

That's what I have on mine mate - I find the grip in the dry is awesome, but in the wet they are pretty poor. They seem to wear slowly though.

Howay guys the lad said NOT expensive stop showing off lmfao

Normally get mine from the link below, if ordered before 13.00 they come the next day, then I just take them to a local tyre place and pay them to fit and balance them, they do most makes from expensive to cheap and are normally cheaper than everywhere else, I normally go for Toyo T1R.

I had 235 Toyo T1Rs on the Redline alloys and thought they were good but now I have 225 Goodyear Eagle F1's because they are supposed to be super in the wet.. they seem to be better in the dry than the Toyos did but I have not tried em out in the wet yet....

Yea Steve camskill have great prices the tyres I have now were £130 each at revolution and on camskill they are just over £100 each

My Bridgestones cost me 100 notes a corner your best off getting prices and comparing them and the saying right I've got this price can you beat it?

You mustn't have compared the prices on that link I posted above then as the Bridgestone's you have are only £82.10 on their. They can't normally be beaten on price.

I went local for mine as needed them that day and it's a mate who was doing them so did em at 400 for the 4 plus threw in 4 wheel alighment for me so wasn't to bothered a local north eastern tyres and exhaust were trying to charge me 580 for the 4 fitted so they got told where to go

Isn't that 82.10 just for the Tyre then delivery and fitting so think coldflames price probably worked out pretty much the same.
Camskill do seam to be the cheapest i have found like.

It doesn't cost nowhere near £20 a tyre to get them fitted though, it's normally under a £10 per tyre.

I just paid 12.50 a wheel for fitting Tyre to refurb wheel. Same price at 2 different garages. Then delivery, you could get them to fit them over at cumbria though and would prob get a deal

Ill be going for vredestein ultrac sessanta soon. Only about £83 per corner on camskill.

Will be Vredestein for me next too, not sure which, Vorti, Cento or Sessanta, but they're all supposed to be fookin brilliant, especially the Vorti and in all weathers but all of the above are around the £90 mark in 18" form.

Sessanta
Cento
Vorti

If you go through the reviews, the blip in the Vorti Progressiveness, is because someone marked it as zero, but in his review writes that he can't comment on grip. Idiot.

Biggest problem for fans of the Toyo T1R's................is that they;ve stopped making them and they are now as rare as hens teeth

Went down to Car Tyre World in Spenny to enquire about some for the Hatch (as I despise the factory fitted Dunlops) and they gave me the bad news.

Quite a few options to go with

Ive been looking on tyreworld and camskills etc.. just wondered who use's what and if anyone had any problems with tyres being crap in the wet.

Off the top of my head i think they are 215/45/17's Baldy.

I'm getting vredesteins sessantas next. Shit load of good reviews and £84 a corner from camskill in 225/45/17.

The new Falken 453 are supposed to be very good too

Camskill on the link I posted on the 1st page of this thread are the uk importer for Toyo tyres so if they ain't got any, can't see anywhere having any unless they got some old stock. What's wrong with the Dunlops you have fitted then Keith.

Ive got Vredesteine Vortis on mine at the minute and love them. Paid about 90 per tyre fitted. Excellent grip in the wet and dry and seem to be wearing well. I can definately reccomend them

They seem to think its their job to steer the car and not mine. If there is any evidence of roadwork, like a pipe trench etc, they'll follow it like a sodding sniffer dog. They look and behave like slicks with tread drawn on them with a 3D pen. They've got as much grip in the wet as I have on reality. And if I dont change them by next winter you might be startled to see my arse hanging out of the nearest oak tree. Apart from that they are perfect....
