Need some rubber
 
Gonna replace the tyres on the car soon as the ones on there are running low, and with these greasy roads thought I should upgrade.

What have people got fitted, on a tight budget so after the best performance for the least price (aren't we all!) Last few times have fitted toyo proxes 4 but just wondered what other recommend and where to get them.

Hankook EVO Ventus V12, good tyre and grip well.

Ritchy 19-01-12 07:08 PM

with kev, on my second set now, fords have hankooks out the factory these days, and kias and a few other manufacturers

Agree on the Hankook Evo V12, have had them on for a couple of years now. Wear well and were a lot smoother and quieter than the ones I had on.

Lol wondered how long it would take for them to appear!

caled 19-01-12 09:02 PM

Ive got exactly the same question, in fact I was about to create a thread about it...

I was going to get Avon ZZ3s, how do they compare against the aforementioned Hankooks?

Steves Cleenz 19-01-12 09:05 PM

Goodride, bloody cheap and a really good grippy tyre in the dry and wet! I paid £50 each for them

I had some Avon zz3 and they worn unevenly, had a flat spot on one of the rear tyres, shook the crap out the car at speed

Supercharged_Z 19-01-12 09:09 PM

I ran zz3's on track and at pod and thought they were awsome infact they gave me my best 60ft ever even better than a r888 slick.

I rate the yokohomo somthing or other spec 2 :)


edit paradas or somthing like that..

Jay-ZS+ 19-01-12 09:12 PM

Which goodrich's have you used steve?

Steves Cleenz 19-01-12 09:17 PM

Goodride not goodridge, cheaply tyre they are

KirkJames 19-01-12 09:38 PM

I have used GT Champiro HPX's, excellent wet grip and being on the zed it will handle very good in the dry too! Very quiet and don't tramline like the damn falkens I have on at the mo. Feels like I have a a fight after a long journey.

i used bf goodrisches for a while and you can get them quite cheap from a depot in hull (plus delivery) if they have them in stock.....

i used T1R's but i wasn't that impressed with them on the derv.....

was spoilt and got me a very good price on some pirelli's right now but i know that they are not a buget consious choice!

Taphouse 20-01-12 10:35 AM

Yokohama pardas spec 2 all the way, had them on 3 different cars now, not amazing in the wet, but there dry performance is brilliant! They also don't wear like you think too.

Now I find the Falkens alright. I agree, they do tramline but I only feel this when they are coming to the end of their life. I just got two brand new for £80 off ebay so had to go for it. Had two lots of Avons and not too impressive with regards to wear tbh.

I will try the Hankooks next time i think.

Enright 20-01-12 11:52 AM

Anyone tried Bridgstone Potenza RE050A's? If so, how did you rate them compared to other brands?
