Best tyres and prices
 
Probably going to be changing my tyres soon, what are the best, Toyo's, Goodyear, yokohamma?

I currently have Bridgestone potenza's which are okay, where is the best place to get them from?

Going to be 215/45/17

Thanks,

David

Camskill, I ordered 2 x Falken FK452 in that size, £130 all in, ordered at 3pm, arrived today at 2.30!

Cheapest on tinterweb as far as I can see.

As Myles said I'd try Camskill. I'm getting some Yokohama Parada 2's when I need tyres next. £73odd each from Camskill.....£92 was the lowest price I found locally for those tyres. Most garages/tyre fitters will fit them for you for usually £10-£15 per wheel including balancing & valves. :thumb:

Thanks for the replies, just wondering, what load rating do I need?

Thanks

No problem:thumb:
TBH I've never worried too much about the load index when buying tyres as the tyres I buy are usually more than suitable for the job. From what I know the load index indicates the max. weight that each tyre can support under load. Theres a lot of info on the subject on the net;

Load and speed index: Car tyre tips - Pneus Online

The tyres I have now are load index n#87 on my classic if that helps:wonder: Goodluck, Gareth:thumb:

forgot to ask, what are the best in the wet?

Vredestien Ultrac Sessanta - AS GOOD AS RE070 only a lot cheaper.

Less than £100 a corner from camskill for mibne and they are 225/45/17 so 215's should be cheap like the budgie :)

should I be going for 225 over 215?

It's really up to you that one, maybe stick with what you know works for you:wonder:
Although some will say the grip level is better with the 225 over a 215 but I doubt you'd be able to tell the difference IMO. :thumb:
