My front tyres are getting low on my Scooby :-(

Can anyone suggest a decent tyre at a good price lol

My tyre size is 225/45 R17

Thanks

:-)

 

I've just put Uniroyal rainsports on the front of mine, so far so good and a fair price without being budget ditchfinders!

I paid 110 per corner however I've got 235/40/ R18's.Yours should be well under £100.

 

I was thinking of going for some toyo proxes T1 r :-) apparently they are good

I have Bridgestone protenza on at the min

 

The potenzas are one of the better tyres IMO for the warmer weather conditions, that's what I run on mine (RE070), however they are less than average IMO in the colder weather, I currently have them on mine and have run them through all the bad wether recently, Lets just say I will never run them again through winter, they don't inspire confidence at all in this cold, damp greasy conditions, that's my out look on it anyway

 

I haven't had T1R's on my Impreza, but on other cars they have always felt soft and squidgy -ruining how the cars felt to me.

I need two tyres for MOT in 3 weeks

I have always bought tyres from camskill they seem reasonable and never had a problem....I was thinking Falken this time?!

you should put the same on the front as what you've got on the rears, having mixed tyres is not a good idea bud.

 

Toyo Proxes T1 Sports all round. Awesome!

 

Allnewtyres in Macclesfield are cheaper for most tyres than even camskills...and they'll fit if you are near Macclesfield....

 

I'm gonna go for the toyo's :-D thanks for the advice :-)

 

Vredestein ultrac sessanta - great tyres

 

Vredstein Ultrac Sessantas, pound for pound you wont beat them

 

I'm looking at Vredstein Ultrac Sessantas. I've heard good things about them and there quite a bit cheaper than F1's which are great but wear quickly.

 

The Vredestine's **** all over F1's IMO, plus they're a nice quiet tyre too - unlike the noisy Dunlops I currently have
They wore ok on my old MY05STI, when my current tyres on the 330S are gone I will be getting the Vredestine's again

 

Vredestein Ultrac Sessantas.

 

Vredestein Ultrac Sessantas, now on my second set great all round, £85 a corner.

 

With you on that. I have them all round on my Spec D, and doubt I'll bother again.

Sure, they take away tramlining by 95%, but the walls aren't stiff enough, and create...for me...more body roll.

Never felt too confident in the wet with them either.

RE070's for me next time I think, after all, I find them much much more responsive, stiffer and grippier compound.

Tramlining makes you grab the steering wheel harder, keeps you on your guard, increases the general driving of the Impreza experience.

 

How very true

 

Good;
Goodyear F1 Assymetric
Kumho Ecsta KU39
Vredestien Sessanta or Cento
Toyo T1R (on my classic they were great)
Yokohama
Falken FK 453

Poor;
Bridgestone - any, had 3 sets (already on car when bought)
Nankan

Check camskill (prices and service) and tyre review.

You can not get RE070 any more, has been replaced by the RE-11 which is not available in the UK

Lots of love for the Vredies, which is surprising

 

Had Falkens 453's really suprised me , better allround than t1rs, paradas spec 2s and such,... Still got vredies with half liftime left in them but recently put re070 235.45/17 not to good in a cold/damp but damn their good when the sun is out , next will be yokos AD08s

 

The RE070's seem available on Camskill?

 

What are Vredestien Sessanta's like in the wet?

 

As above Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta are great tyres,we are running them.We are tried them too on track,surprisingly has been good too..

Awesome in the dry or in the wet

Just I wouldn't go with T1R on the New Age,they're not the best choice on the New Age

Cheers for the info.. They have a very interesting tread pattern, almost like a cut slick. Glad to hear there good in the wet too.

 

I have T1R-s on the front and Yokahama A306 on the rear, all new the fronts needed replacing and went for the Toyo, they are a bit softer on the side wall but do grip well.
Will be replacing the rears with the same as the Yokahama I fell have less grip
Just my opinion and all have their own preference

 

Camskill have a few 17" left. I need 18's unfortunately

 

Great
