big block nova, what tyres do you use?

[RossRog]

Hiya,

i need to get some new Tyres soon, just wondering what people rate an what people recomend to away from

so on your nova what do you use?


i've had a search around an so far i see toyo's seem to be the best, what do people think, thanks for any input

[MattBrown]

Toyo A048's are good.

And for budget, toyo proxies t1r's £120 for 4 delivered.

Matt, don't you mean Yoko A048 ;)

Is this for daily road use or for the track?

[RossRog]

its more daily use,

i don't plan on track for a few months so not yet

[GDN16v]

Toyo T1R's for everyday use!! Grippy, wear well and arent to loud for road noise!:thumb:

[Jack]

What size and what budget?

[RossRog]

they are on 16" the ibiza cupra wheels Kitt1972 put on it. so R16/195/45 i think


don't really want to go about £65 a corner

i use toyo proxies t1Rs in 195-45-15

For 16's thou on a nova isnt a 40 profile better?

[Mieran]

I've got 195/40/16 toyo px4, pretty decent tyres but thats on an Astra

i'l double check when i get a chance later on, sure they are 45 but would make sense going 40 i guess

[GDN16v]

45 profile gives slightly better ride quality!

[RossRog]

yea just checked they are 45's at the moment

I truely fail.

Yes I did mean Yoko:thumb:

About to go from a 195 / 40 [7J] R16 onto a 205 / 40 [7J] R17.

Should be good & I need the ground clearance now too.

[nova_saloon]

[blue_peg_16v]

Anything that you can pick up for free, although larger diameter does give more impact protection

195/50/r15, eBay.

im running toyo px4 and a lot better than the kumos i have before good all rounder

[chris gsi]

i had rainsport 2s on my old nova and i have toyo px4 on my 172 clio and seem to grip well in the wet and dry and they are 195 45 16

[mrT]

toyo proxos/t1r's etc are ****e but if thats all you can afford then crack on:wall: they kinda work when the roads bone dry but slightest bit of rain/damp in they are absolutley terrible, probably one of the worst tyres ive ever used to be fair with poor negative feedback and very noisy, avoid at all costs if you ask me but then again they'll be going on a nova, they dont handle anyway:p lol

[Stuart]

Id sooner use remoulds than Proxies lol

Kumho KU31's are fecking ace (and usually cheaper than proxies).
Have to say I'm impressed with the fat man exalto 2's on the 182, although the fronts are nearly gone so will be fitting the KU31's next...... oh noes I'm moving away from OE stuff, the clio lot will kill me
