What tyres
So back to this old debate, hahaha
Just bught a type r and its got 888's on it, so plan A is new tyres. Had toyo's before on my previous classic but wondering what else is there. Spoke to afew places and came up with the following, (fitted price) Toyo T1-R's - £81 a corner Maxxis Maz1 - £64 a corner (reviews on here seem to say they are pretty good) but then spoke to local place and they said that green max (aka linglong) have brought out a new version of there tyre and they have tried it on a few different cars, tuned/untuned, fwd/rwd/awd and found them to be on a par with the toyo's, Greenmax - £55 a corner so begs the question, are they actualy any good, anyone tried them? |
additional one
Kumho Ecsta Le Sport KU39 - £82 and according to ratings alot better in wet than the toyo's |
HAD Yokohama Paradas on mine - they were pretty good. Bit more grip than the Toyos I used to use, but less warning that they had reached their limit.
Lasted quite well too. |
Nokian Z-Line. £70 a corner in 205/50x16. Proper tyres, terrific in the wet. Not a lot more expensive than budget ditchfinders, but every bit as good as the 'premium' brands.
ymmv. |
Cheers folks, b be with toyos in the end , £81 a corner fitted

Hi there
I would choose T1-R on classic,not sure if I would touch those budget tyres Thanks,Jura |
always look on here John, to get an idea on price..
http://www.camskill.co.uk/m54b0s0p0/...yres_-_17_inch what Ratings are the Toyo's you've gone for Wet grip etc? |
Another site to look at is www.tyreleader.co.uk again fairly cheap and have reviews on tyres on there
|
did alot of ringinf round, off the net they are cheaper, but thats unfitted, so add fitting and they arnt as cheap as i got.
It's thes phill, http://www.camskill.co.uk/m54b0s103p..._Noise%3A_71dB |
I wouldn't even touch the t1r too soft for my liking and not as good that people make out imo.
R1r are better. Nankang ns2r are my budget choice ATM, excellent in dry and ok in wet. And a capable track tyre. Around £100 a corner in 17 |

Just to point out the Nokians out score all the other tyres mentioned in this thread on every tyre test and review site, by a big margin. The Toyos are rated E in wet grip, the Nokians are rated A. You won't find them at Camskill though, only the online sellers based in Europe.
