Tyres this time round !!!!

[Benbosh]

Right after having Proxies T1r on the cup now they are coming to the end of their life and im looking at;
Michelin pilot exalto pe2 205 45 16 slightly wider than standard cup.
pirelli pzero nero 195 45 16
Continental Sport Contact Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD2
Pirelli W210

So its between these 5 choices any input would be great also price has no bearing on my decision. Cheers lads

cup lowered?

 

[JON13S]

i've had to go for 195s as the cup is lowered.... we tried one andit was a no go.... 195 pe2s??? rocking horse sh!t so opted for the standard contis! 270 for 5 of the bad boys

 

[Benbosh]

No mate cup isnt lowered, but i may be putting coilovers on in the future so i guess the 205's are a no-go?

 

[daviebroon]

yeah stick to 195's... there's hardly an advantage to going for 205's to be honest.

I would be going for PE2's aswell. Stay away from F1's as there are far too many issues surrounding them at the moment.

 

[Benbosh]

Conti's are £280 for 4
Pzeronero £260 for 4
Pirelli W210 £355 for 4
Eagle F1 are £289 I dont really rate these tyres as i had a set on my S2 Rallye and didnt think they were that good

 

[Benbosh]

Cant find any PE2's in 195

 

[daviebroon]

ah... well i just got 4x PE2 195's fitted for £220

 

[Benbosh]

[daviebroon]

think you can order them cheaply on blackcircles.com

 

[Benbosh]

Tried black circles and cant find them in 195's a freind of mine works at mercedes so im going to see if he can get them in that size for me.

 

[Benbosh]

anyone use yoki's? As01???

I went for Goodyear F1s in the end. They are very very good in the dry once warmed up - a little 'glassy' from cold, though I do need to get my tracking checked before I can be sure it's the tyres.

Seem fine in the wet though I haven't pushed them too hard yet.

Super sticky when warm.

(just re-read - mine are GSD3s £150 for two fitted)
