How much did the new rubber cost you

 

Hi mate

They were cheap mate £306 all in


Just got a bit ripped off getting them fitted £15 a wheel which i think is too much But never mind...

pete

 

Talkin off tyre's i'm stuck on what to use,

Had a good look at my bridgestone and there not going to be any good if its wet and they are practically finished any way, i don't really want to use my 18 inch Bridgestone RE050's on the track as they are really a road tyre and will last a while if I don't use them on the 20th.

Any one got any ideas for a reasonable all round tyre to use for wet and dry on my 17's?????

 

Can i borrow someones fuel can on the day please?

 

Dave - i have 4 that i bought for my last track day, will bring them down

 

Something like a Toyo T1R or Yokohama Prada 2 would be a good choice.
They perform well, without costing as much as R888's.
Although i think Budgie got a very good deal from Mocom for a set of R888's, so might be worth considering.

 

Hay pete were from were from??? And are they 18's?

Im tires are $h!t!!!!!!! Never even heard of the make before! Iv heard the one's you got are pretty good.

Think ill use the one's i got for the track day just to wear them out then put on a new set of the one's you just got?

Ash

 

Cheers Gary, much appreciated.

Getting close now

Is there a tyre shop local?

 

Hi mate

Got them from tyres online @ mytyres.co.uk: cheap passenger tyres, summer tyres, winter tyres and tyre dealer

And yes they are 18" 215/35/18" which i needed to fit my classic....
put them on today and took it for a spin in the wet and thats all i did was spin ha great fun should have them cut in before brands so let hope it's dry..

pete

 

Iv got a tyre choice problem too GUv. Iv got 2x sets of RE070s, one almost finished & another pretty new. Neither will be any good in cold & wet. Most people say RE070 are good in dry but not in wet, especially if very cold.

Do you lot think any of two below would better in such weather?
Falken 452
Toyo Proxy T1R

(Iv not inc Verdestein Ultrasac/Goodyear Eagle F1/MPs2/Yoko Advan Neuvo etc which are all excellent tyres, but too much money after just forking out for RE070's)

 

After doing a google search found some TR-1r's for £300 delivered, £12 cheaper + postage than ebay, going to make some call tommorrow see if can get a better price including the fitting....I will let you know.

TOYO TYRES / CAR / TOYO T1R PROXES TOYO T1 R - 235/45R17 97Y XL TL : £74.90 : Car Tyres - MPV Tyres - People Carrier Tyres : R17" - 235/45/17, 235/45 R 17 -

What i really want to do is get another set of 18's with a set for the wet and a set for the dry more money

 

Guv :
Falken 452 are £72
Toyo T1R's are £75
Goodyear Eagle F1 £83
Verdestein Ultrac Sessanta £92
Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymetric £96

Camskill prices (235/45/17)

?????Hmm

 

You can Have my part worn yokohama s drives for a very small sum 215/45/17

 

hi ricky
thanks for the call today
i would go with what you have
not used them myself, but sure they will be fine
i am planning to use my worn 888's whatever the weather
will have some t1r's on standby though

pete300
get a good heat cycle through them m8
will help reduce wear on the day
thanks for your massage btw

budgie

looking for some mo's in white anyone

 

You're looking for MO's or selling MO's?

White on white. It's the new rock n' roll

 

 

on average how long will a set of tyres last? 2000 miles on them. will use them fairly hard on track(weather permitting) quite hard compound.

dunno whether to take a spare set with me, but would have to leave to have them fitted as i dont have a spare set of wheels. just trying to get the prep work done in advance

 

Why is it in 17's there £72 but in 18's there £64.10??? Think ill be getting some of these!

£256 to my door!!! Nice one

Ash
