Tyres x 4, What we Recommending these days??

[Leo182]

... Other than Michelins! because I'm poor at the mo!!

I've ran Rainsports and ZV7's and found them pretty good, should I stick with them?

Any offers or anyone recommend the best price for them too please??

Ta.

Falkens are wallet friendly. Always tend to run them. I buy off ebays demon tweeks/jjraceandrally store

If you know of a fitter then take a look at Camskill. Tyres are always considerably cheaper on there.

Camskill good offers on michelin( yes I know you said other than!) But have cashback offer on top this month also.

Another vote for Falken here, affordable and been great for pottering about in my wife's Civic type S.

Michelin PS3 still a solid option regardless how old they are now I didn't want to pay the extra either but it's worth it imo and they probably won't wear as fast as some other options anyway.

The Michelins on mine have cracked and rotted out long before they were due, probably 6mm left all round.

4-6 years, they die of old age.

Toyos are w**k stay away from them

Falkens do the same.

Out of curiosity is your car situated outside or in a garage?

Michelin PS3, got mine from Costco.
Not worth penny pinching.

Outside, the sun and heat cycles kill them...

I used to work at a tyre garage years back, Michelins have always cracked early, but boy do they eat miles.. The clio almost covered 30k on a set..

Loads of tyres crack early, I just pulled some toyos off as they were dead after 4-5 years, loads of tread..


My gt turbo is on a set of late 2000 Goodyear eagles.. No visible cracks, but grip like shower soap.

Still gonna run em.

Falkens do the same.

A mate still slings hoops and said more and more tyres fail early.

Planned obsolescence..

Use em or lose em.

Cheers all for the replies, just been pricing some up and there is roughly £100 diff between the tyres mentioned compared to PS2's - cheapest for 4 fitted is £504.

I know I said couldn't stretch to Michelins but I thought there would be a bigger difference in price If truth be told! I remember when I payed less than £300 for four tyres!!!

I'm in need of 4 tyres also for my 197. I'm stuck with what to go for also.

Depends on your budget but I’d be looking at PS4/5’s or Conti Premium Contacts?

 

[Pauleds]

I haven't looked at car tyre prices recently so I'm unsure if the 'inflation' is the same as to what I am seeing with the van tyres!

In 2020.....
