Tyres

[torquey]

Now I've got my comp's Iam after 4 tyres. Ideally low profile cos will be low. Where do you lot recommend a place for cheapish good tyres.I've had t1r in the past they were quite good. Any other recommend tyres to go for? Thanks :thumb:

I buy my tyres from camskill.

Tyre leader is good if you don't mind a wait.
imho Toyos road tyres aren't up to much, but others will love them.

i am continually impressed with Pirelli pzero sand they aren't hugely expensive either

[torquey]

Right cheers I didn't find the toyo proxes that bad. Will take a look!

[comptoncj]

T1R Toyos are good tyres grip wise but they wear out so quickly that's what I found! I had hankooks on my sr they were good! As said camskill is a good place to get tyres from I work in the trade and camskill are nearly as cheap as trade prices!

I've always found black circles to be good, even had a mobile fitter come to my house once as he was just as cheap as the back street guys, but next time I need tyres I'll definitely be looking up Camskill, it's not the first time I've heard good things about them.

Camskill every time now as quick delivery and returns are hassle free (my girl ordered wrong size :roll:) lol. I run pirelli p7 cinturato on my Dailey great grip in dry and wet and firestones on my Sr wheels. I have never used the nova in the wet but in the dry they are nice and grippy. Feck toyos I had t1s (I think) on my Dailey but were skitty in the wet and only covered (i dont drive like a 17 year old) 10k miles. You only get what you pay for but I suppose it depends what you will be doing with your car? I say look on camskill at price and size you require then google the tyre to see the reviews.

I use this site for reviews it has payed off for me http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/

This, Rainsports have been my go-to tyre for a while now.

[Maddukeman]

happy with rainsports aswell

T1Rs don't feel that great to me, although I used to think highly of them, so either tyre has changed or my driving style. R1Rs are great but you can't push too hard in standing water.

Rainsports have a soft sidewall but will be awesome in the wet. You'll overheat them if you hit them too hard in the dry although maybe not on the road.

Contact Sports look quite good but come with a price tag, not sure if they are in your size.
