What tyres?
 

Need a pair of tyres for the car, wondering whats best for not too much money?

The pair staying on the car are avons i think.

Dunlop Eagles are pretty good, or a set of Falkens. :-D

How much is too much....i just replaced my fronts with Toyo T1R's....95+vat, seem good!

I'm running those all round.

Only poor in the damp, apart from that stunning rubber. Looking to go with 888's next time. 8-)

Dunlop F1's (if still around0
Toyo T1-R's
Falken FK452

All pretty good all-rounders.

Bridgestones are good but pricey and the sidewalls are very hard giving a harder ride.

i'm using falken fk452's at the moment, i think they're better than the Pirelli PZeros i had before and they're way cheaper :doubleup:

P Zero's are vastly over rated IMHO and ****ing expensive to boot.

My first scoob came with a set of falkens, they were great tyres. :-D

i think im gonna go with the toyos or the falkens. Whats your thoughts on getting them cheap off ebay or is there potential dodgy stuff?

Ebay is fine, I got a set of Toyo's v.cheap that were ex-TVR stock when they closed down.

If you're still looking I had the Toyos but felt the tyre wall was too soft and induced more sway round the corners. Have just switched to Vredestein Ultrac Sessantas that seems to cure this while retaining the same levels of grip. About the same price as Toyos on the internet discounters.

I have yoko prada's fantastic in the dry but truly awfull in the wet.
Before the Yokis i had the toyo's which were excelent wet or dry.
I only use the scoob in the dry so it suits me to have the amazing grip when dry.

Yep,have spent hours looking at tyre reviews and the above seem to be the dogs dangelies.
And only £100 a corner from camskill,and will be buying some in few weeks time.
Didnt get on with prada's,the toyo t1r's were pretty good,but the review put the Vredestein's above them.
Loved the 888's best of all though,but theres a price to pay,with cost and wet grip.

:drive:got yokohama parada spec 2 on mine at the mo been ok so far

think im gonna plump for the toyos, seem to be the easiest to get hold of at a pretty good price. Tempted by the Vredestein's but cant find them anywhere!

I'm going for the Vredestein Ultrac Sessantas next time, heard nothing but good things about them.

After a massive cock about, no locking wheel nut key thanks to moron last owner finally got some tyres on the car and not even the ones i want! By the time id messed about loads and got to wealden tyres it turns out they didnt have the Ultrac Sessentas but the Ultrac Centos. Problem is my tyres were so illegal and id messed about already so just slapped them on at £90 a tyre. Not too impressed by them yet, considering taking them off sticking them on ebay and getting hold of a pair of sessentas or toyo t1-rs. Good or bad idea, how much money will I lose?
Cheers,

I have Hankook tyres all round at the moment on advice from a friend and I must say for the money they are very good.
They generate more grip than the PP Zero's I had before.

Going for 888's next time.

That's not hard :lol:
P zeros are only a step up from Avon "ZZ1" ditch finders ;)

has anyone had Bridgestone potenza reo70's before?:?:

Gone with the recommendation on here and collected a set of Falken FK452's today to fit on my German go-kart tomorrow, I hope they are better than the Marshal **** I had on it in the wet!!

I'm going 888 next time for sure.

You've been out in the rain? :-o

edit/ do you mean your scoob (ready for the ring) or you another one in the beemer brigade?

Na it's on my vw it drives like a gokart in the dry but in the wet just forget it.. Will see how it goes on the way home!
