Hi all

im after some tires to fit onto the standard alloys. budget is a big thing, as I have a set of oz 18 to go on later in the year.

so would you go for a set of cheap new tires
or
a second hand set of 6mm continetal tires?

both sets are around the same price of £130 for 4

thanks
ian

 

as long as they are decent and not cracking then conti's all the way

 

personally I would go with the second hand set of 6mm continental tires rather than cheap new ones if your on a budget. Your better to have a set of part worn good tyres than a set of new cheap tyres.

 

Obvioulsy neither are ideal, but if it were me I'd go for the part worns over the ling longs.

Lesser of two evils.

 

find out how old the 2nd hand ones are, there is a date on the side,
Id rather have a new budget Nankang on then a old set of Conti`s.

 

I'm got some bridgestones re050 with good 6 mm on them if anyone interested

 

how much are you looking for them please?

I had the second hard tires fitted today.

the one with the least tread on it was 5mm, and the most a smidge over 6mm

all for £120 fitted

there were continental sport contact 5.

two of my old ones were splitting on the edge and between the tread, the other two were fine, so have still got hold of them incase I might need them in the future

 

thats a pretty good deal and at least you have some decent rubber on....
