    Default Another tyre thread.....

    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!

    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.
    success is only limited by a weak mind
