New bloody tyres again

[davefrith]

Right, its almost time to replace the rear tyres on the car
Currently have Pirelli P7000 Rossi all round

Don\'t particulary want to pay through the arse for these again so will probably go for a cheaper tyre

Anyone got any suggestions, what do you use ?

Anyone tried the following
Kumho Ecsta 712 265/35 R18 Z £116.58  
Falken GRB FK 451 265/35 R18 Z £145.91  

Any reccomendations appreciated

Dave

I use the eagle f1\'s they are good price + brilliant grip (imo)

stay away from those falkens they are CRAP - my mate in his s2000 thought he\'d save on tyres by buying them and ended up kartwheeling his car through a cow field..

[davefrith]

yeah they are as much as the Pirelli though, I\'ve heard good things about the Kumho\'s

[rx7veilside]

look in mytyres.com they have huge range and good prices just pay about a tenner to get fitted and balanced.promp delivery to ur door as well.used them for the mondeo and saved 50% on normal outlets

I use Michellin Pilot Sport and they\'re good, in the wet as well

I\'ve got Avon ZZ3s on my FC at the mo, quite like \'em, but they are a bit of a hard compound

cheers

Michedever near me (pro tyre in slough) do the PZero\'s for £157 fitted so thats probably a better deal

I only wanted to spend about £100, its just bloody impossible

[sadgoth]

downside about running wide 18" rims eh?

[davefrith]

don\'t I know it :rolleyes:

Toyo proxsis ts1
Ive got em on the cup and they are fantastic in the dry! Bit tricky in the wet tho.
About £60 a corner on mytyres

[Shark]

Didn\'t realise the price of rubber went up so much from 17 - 18" wheels
