tyres

Car has some 225/40/18 bridgestone potenza REO50a's and im after a set of these exact tyres.. went and had a quote for two front ones fitted and it came to like £350 quid! Fook that, i can get them fitted locally for a score, so just need to source some cheap! any one got any ideas?

Evening all, My front tyres (205/45/16.....Michelen Pilot Primergy) are running a little low on tread and are in need of replacing over the coming weeks and would like some feedback on which brand to go for. Must Have's - Good rim protection and all round grip. Would Like's - Reasonable...

is this a safe thing to do? personally I would rather stick a rusty nail in a major artery and those of you that do it should be banned from driving

Guys, I had a search but couldn't find the answer I was after... I'm looking into getting some 18s on my Leon (mk1 TDi 54 plate) What is the best wheel size and offset to go for? Possibly 8x18? ET?? What tyre size is best? 225/40/18? How will this affect the speedo? I'm quite...

Hi Guys, its tyre time and I was wondering what you chaps are running in this delightful weather? I've got a FR Tdi 06 plate with 17 inch cupra alloys with p-zero's on (205/40/17 IIRC?). Anyone else running different rubber with good results?

I had my car up on a ramp yesterday and noticed on the front two wheels the inside edge of both tyres is wearing quicker than the rest. Both have a sort of strange ridge forming about 10mm wide it kinda looks like its been melted and then set again (sorry for the stupid description but thats the...

Hi All, Just got a couple of issues with the Beeza. 1st problem, When braking at low speeds (under 15mph) i get a droning noise which sounds the same as a bus coming to a stop! This is an intermitant problem which only seems to happen after a half hour drive. Front & rear discs & pads are...

Has anyone heard of maxxis tyres??? I went in today to get some falken 452's put on me cupra R and the guy advised me to get some maxxis z1's which are suppose to be better than falken tyres. Any ideas anyone? Thanks

Noticed this size tyre on a new Scirocco which has 8 inch width rims. This got me thinking. Would these be better on the Leon (235/40/18 rather than the normal 225/40/18)? Advantages 1 Better grip 2 Looks better (tyres look wider) 3 Will protect the rim of the alloy (it is easy to...

Could do with some new front tyres, all my tyres are od and going to stick the best two on the back and put some new ones on the front as im not getting great traction now that the winter has set in, when the weather was good traction has been great. However Ive looked at a few posts and two of...

Hi Peeps I'm looking for advice on some new tyres for the front of my FR having done 27,000 mile on the factory fit Michelin 225 40 18. I see a lot of people recommend the Goodyear Asymmetric though im concerned on the wear rate. I cover around 20,000 miles a year and would like the...

The eagle F1s on the front of the ibiza have taken a beaten last few months and are getting low. Thought about swapping them with the rear wheels, and got dunlop sp sportmaxx's on the rear This ok to do or would I be better leaving the F1s on the front and replacing them when their done...

I know there are lots of other threads on this, but there doesn't seem to be any conclusive answer to this, with some people saying new tyres, some saying wheel alignment etc. From my own experience: * The rumbling sound wasn't there when I first bought the car * It is now there and I...

Right i need 4 new tyres, can get them fitted free so will order online for maximum cheapness ;) Ive kinda come to the conclusion that toyo proxes are the way forward, £285.40 posted from www.topgear.co.uk. So, do any of you guys know of anywhere cheaper ? Or Can you recomend any other...

After much research and having had some shocking tyres on the Altea before I decided to take a look to see what would be best for this rubbish weather we are having and also some nice sticky tyres for when it actually does clear up. I plumped for the Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3 (reinforced), I...
