Tyres

[182 sport]

Im in need of my 3rd set of front tyres,just been ringing round for prices and last garage told me that Contis are soft compound and recommended a tyre cby HANKOOK which made make reacing tyres and says there a good tyre and cost £58,00 fitted.Any advice would be welcome?

on the 182 get the tyres it came with if you got it with cup packs if not fit what ya want

Contis are actually one of the better wearing tyres for the 172, Goodyear GSD3s are great for grip but wear out quickly. Yoko A539s seam to be the prefered choice for 172s. If its for the 182 stick to the Michelins.

Personally I wouldnt trust what the tyre place says about the Hankooks.

 

[182 sport]

Well its a 172 so I might have to try the Yoka tyres then?

Ive had the Hankook Ventus tyres in the past, cheap and not bad...

 

[CHRIS172CUP]

contis are pretty good value for money and all round good tyre IMO.

 

[McBunny]

yokos tend to be good in the dry bad in the wet

What do you think of the Michelins on the 182, maybe give them a try on the 172.

Ive had Hankooks on the front of my T5 before, and they handle 225bhp alright, not the best for handling but they last ages.

As youve got a 182, you might as well get a decent soft-compound tyre, whats the point of savin a few quid on tyre wear when youve got a 182 to have some fun!!

one of my mates had federals said they were ok and lasted ages. he had them on a ctr which had mods to boost the power up well over 200 bhp. and they are well priced

A539s are pants - gor for Goodyear Eagle F1s or Michelin Pilot Exaltos IMHO.

 

[182 sport]

Its for my 172 not 182, so Goodyear Eagle F1 the best?

go for 205 45 16 not 195 45 16. v rating. should be about £65 each for 205 £45 for 195. Yokahoma A539.

Im running 205x45xR16 Goodyear Eagle F1s all round..

 

[silvercup182]

whats the best price for egal F1s and mich Polot exalto II cos I need new ones too soon! where to get them!

 

[182 sport]

Cheers for advice guys,so Yozza Yoko a539s 205

 

[182 sport]

F1s do look the best thow after checking them all out, they look the smartest and most seem to say they dont do a bad job so will probably try these in 205/45 16

 

[182 sport]

Well went to garage to order tyres and the F1s in 205 cost £90 bloody quid!!

Hankook did the same size 205 tyre for £61.00, so sfter seeing them decided was best to get these instead.


Does it matter that I got 195 still on the back?

put the 205s on the back and then wear out the 195s

always put a new pair of tyres on the back - is always a good rule of thumb as you will not get 2 tyres that are a lot older than the others.

as the fronts wear, replace them and swap with the back again, is a good policy.
