Default Decent tyres for a decent price?
I seem to be loosing grip on the rear of mine, having only just got the car ive realised it has cheapy budget tyres on the rear, and 2 different chep makes to boot!

I have dunlop sp sport 01A on the front (both sides) and they seem to grip very well....

Apart from the obvious online suppliers (black circles etc etc) does anyone know of a decent tyre supplier?

John

what sort of money you looking at spending & what size tyre ?
Have been looking at federal 959 rs-r 's in 225 40 18 and best price so far is £120 each four four fitted inc vat. if you wanted some to i think i could get them down some more .

I'd be interested in that Chris if more numbers help bring the price down

My current 18" Falkens are getting a little low and they'll be ready for the bin after Germany i expect.

I got vredestein sessantas for £100 each a couple of months ago. Got to say I'm really impressed with them so far

I'm likely to be in the market for some new tyres soon - track orientated as the car is now very much a weekend toy!

I like the look of the toyo R1R
