price for 182 tyres

[182storm]

has anyone bought or priced up new exalto tyres for the 182 yet?

Ive got a price of £107 each. is that about right?

Yep there expensive £107 sounds a good price I dont think any cheaper suppliers will be able to get hold of any for a bit.

Might be worth having a look for normal sized tyres ie not stiffened walls, not sure how much you would loose but you got to put it in context with the price.

There is only 1 tyre for the 182

Pilot exalto 2, the cup option has the same tyre as the normal 182, it a reno blag that there are others tyres with stiffer tyrewalls.

I dont think this is true - there is a big thread discussing the issue...

There is no evidence so show they are actually different. Well none yet.

The cup was meant to have different tyres from the standard 172, but i think that was absolute crap as well.

 

[Dash]

So the 172Cup has the same tyres as a 172 and the 182Cup has different tyres to both the 172 and the 172Cup?

Can you put the 182Cup tyres on the 172 and 172Cup?

A tyre is a tyre, unless of course its a run flat tyre. But theyre total rubbish anyway.

Well said Jon.

Ill always go for an expensive tyre, but thats just me. I dont really care if there is a nats difference between what comes on the the 182 with and without Cup pack. They are good tyres either way.

There is a world of difference between tyres...In every area, grip, wet handling, noise, durablilty...

The tyre is your only point of contact with the road......

Still fancy a cheap kwick fit job???
