Question

Hi all

I need to get some new rubber for my MY00 and am wondering what to go for, I currently have the Bridgestone Potenzas fitted and they seem pretty good, so heres the choice, they're all priced around £99 quid inc vat fitted:

Pirelli Pzero
Bridgestone Potenzas
Yokohama
Micheline SO2

Any suggestions? does £99 sound like a good price?

Thanks

Neil

Havent had mine long enough for a tyre change yet, but i have used these people before for my tyres. I havent found anywhere yet that can match these prices. Only problem is you need to get the fitted yourself. They also have more brands available, if you dont see what you want on the site email them.

Hi Neil

The S02 is a bridgestone, and is regarded as having the most wet grip out of anything on the planet. They are also a lovely tyre to drive on in the dry. They are difficult to get hold of now and are being discontinued, so getting hold of 2 to match your others in a few months might be difficult.

My personal favourite is the TOYO T1S as it has excellent wet grip, but above all a VERY progressive break away making them more fun and probably safer to drive on.

Also.. it would be very well worth you talking to Tyres Northampton who are huge supporters of scoobynet members. ScoobyNet members travel 100s of miles to get their tyres / exhausts / etc fitted at Tyres Northampton as their service and enthusiasm are top notch. You can get them on 01604 588599 (speak to Mark)

Cheers

Simon
