Daily is gonna need new rears soon - 255/40/17.

Blackcircles will do a pair of falken ze912 's for about £230 delivered. Any one got any experience of these or other suggestions? Any other decent websites?

It has pirelli p zero's all round at the minute but grippy as they are, they are a fortune new and noisy as fcuk!

Still have to phone the local tyre places so just want a feel for prices.

Goodyear Eagle F1's always seem to get a good write up. Bridgestone Potenza's are also nice. My personal fave is Michelin Pilot Sports but they are pricey as fook.

Michelin ps seem to be the preferred choice for my car on google but I don't think I can bring myself to spend that on tyres! Especially now I've realised the fronts will need done pretty soon too! lol

I've used Goodyear eagle DSG3's for about 6 years now but will be buying continental sport contact's next, the brothers vectra vxr had them, my mates focus st had them and they seem a cracking tyre,

Oh and the eagles are a bit noisy aswell, they love SMA surfaces but asphalt is as noisy as fook.

I'm currently running the Maxxis MA-Z1's and rate them proper. Well good tyre for the money, ride noise n grip

KU31's are readily available. But strangely seemed to have gone up in price by a fair bit lol
Last time i bought a set they were cheaper than Wanli Ling Longs or some other "budget" make

Ive just bought a set of Falken fk452's, I done a lot of research and they turn out to be a good tyre.

The ZE912 although being a good budget tyre, it isnt as good as the fk452.

Have a look at the link below, 255/40/17 £108.20 inc delivery

FK452s are ace, I usually use them on the Celica. Got KU31s on there at the mo which are good too, but if the price on them has gone up I'll go back to using the Falkens next time.

Must be really quiet, as nobody noticed four Maxxis tyres carrying an Impreza out of PVS this year lol
