Howdy,
Knowing my MOT is expiring soon i thought i'd check my tyres. Each seemed to have about 2mm depth until i turned my nearside wheel to view the inner side. This is bald, which i take it means my tracking is fooked but it also means i won't be able to get a ticket.
Any idea's on tyres if money's tight (not part worn) ? Where to go for deals on 4 ?
I take it Nankang are ****e, found them on Ebay for £43 a tyre + P&P. Sizes are 215/40 or 45/17

 

what tyres you got on at the moment mate?

 

Nankang arent ****e; eBay is though. Its like a pikey flea market. Try www.mytyres.co.uk

 

Tyres are the last things I'd skimp on IMO.

Part worn? Remoulds? Not for me, especially in a Performance car.

 

1. Vredestein UltraC
2. Bridgestone RE070
3. Goodyear F1 GSD3
4. Toyo Proxes T1s or T1R
5. If on a budget....Fulda or Hankook

 

1. avon zz3's
2. pirrelli's of some sort
3 yokohama
4 michellins
5 Toyo's

 

Tyres are horses for courses, some swear by Toyo's others say there **** and so on. As GC8 says try www.mytyres.com, last time I looked 215/45/17 Y rated Goodyear Eagle F1's were £80 each delivered. I'm going with the F1's this time.

Try your local independant tyre dealers in your area and see if they can do you a deal on 4 tyres. I know how much Goodyear and Dunlop tyres are trade price and you would not believe the mark up on tyres .

That link takes you to an Australian tyre company called O Neills! Try http://www.mytyres.co.uk

Put F1's on mate. Avoid Bridgestones at all costs. My beloved STI had them on and ended up a write off partly through them. My WRX had F1's on and was like a go kart. No comparison!!

 

bought 4 toyo proxes t1s today cost me £360 all in and on the car.
got them from black circles (they have loads of local dealers all over the place) or event tyres will come to you and fit them but are a couple of quid more on each tyre.

same size btw

 

Was just going to suggest black circles I get all my toyos from them

 

Thanks for all the info chaps. Just checked Blackcircles http://www.blackcircles.com/ and they have Pzero nero's for £80 each. Are these any good ? F1's are £98.

 

Winter is on it's way and F1s are way better than any others in the wet.

 

sounds like a good price there for pzeros,DONT put nankangs on they are rubbish.i fitted some a few years ago as the car was being sold and as part of the deal was to get some new tyres and mot.trust me they would not have been put on only for that,they made the car horible to drive big time

 

can't really go wrong with pirelli tyres mate.
but i'm no expert
had them on my cars for years only recently changed to toyos

 

Thats fair enough, but your talking about an extra £80 when basically my overdraft is paying for them lol. I would have thought Pzero nero's aint too shabby in the wet either.

 

anyone got a contact number for www.mytyres.co.uk

have tried these 2 on the site but dont even ring ???

0800 3286532 (free),
0207 6640702,

 

Sorry my mistake it is www.mytyres.co.uk and 4 Goodyear F1's will set you back £308.40 including VAT and delivery + £20 for your local tyre fitter to fit and balance them.

I've never called them sorry.

Wolfie.

 

Ok i ordered F1's from my tyres on Monday morning. So far i had a confirmation of order email and a confirmation of peyment recieved, but no ETA in either. How long should i expect to wait ?

 

Last 2 times I ordered from MyTyres I only waited about 3 days. They're pretty efficient

 

cheers lunar

 

This thread springs to mind re Nankang:

So . Errrr. . . . . . .stilover . .Bud . .Since when do you drive a performance car???Does the sti spoiler make it go faster???

On a more serious note, my next tyre of choice would be the Marangoni Zeta Linea . . .Cheap and effective . .
