new tyres

[Riccardo]

I live in Greece so I have no say as to where to get the tyres
However, I listed the //www.tirerack.com so that you can read reviews and in house tests - I am surprised they do not ship to the UK, as they so so to Japan
Finally, just for comparison reasons (incl. fitting & balancing) - pricey as size is perculiar

Contis\'  Euro 840

Just thought i\'d add that im running continental sport 2s, common enough to find in stock or orderable in most tyre shops in most towns, around a 100 per corner for stock tyre size.

Yup, they\'re not too bad. Nowhere near as good as the best performance tyres but not as bad as most budget tyres. Not much grip but quite predictable.

edit: d\'oh, that question was from over a month ago! :2Confused :2Confused :2Confused :2Confused :2Confused
gives me another chance to use that smiley though, I love it!

Funnily enough, I have potenza S03s on my FD at the moment. If I were to choose again I\'d go for the eagle F1s.. I\'ve tried F1s on a few cars and they always feel so planted in the wet :InLove

hello saw you thread.   I have a set of standard wheels with good tyre on if your interested.   225/50/16 2 with oveer 4mm tread and 2 are almost new with over 6mm thread.  bridgestone potanza g3\'s

[anthony]

madden saw yours on ebay, thats why i was asking for comments on those tyres
your reserve was high though, email me with what price you\'d let them go for conspiracydj@hotmail.com. as im only after the rubber really, another set of wheels would just be useful i guess

[Madden]

Hello mate there are qutie a few people watching the wheels so after the acution i will be able to give you a price

I\'ve got a set of Bridgestone potenza\'s 235-40-17 on the front & Nexen\'s on the rear of my FD 255-40-17 and have found the nexen to be a decent all rounder!! a mate of mine has just bought a skyline gts pushing similar power to my rex, with Michilen pilots on the rear and I find it very very loos on the back end compaird to mine, wasn\'t overly impressed!!! Might be down to the car??!!

And with the Nexen costing around £65 fitted, I think I\'ll be going for them again

I have NEXAN\'s all round, they were new on the car when i got it, but have to say i think they are pretty good, when they do wear out i will go for F1s all round,
