DODGY JAP TYRES
#1
Hello
As you may have read already ive just got my scooby.
It still has fitted these weird looking jap tyres that are absoulutely useless on the road, car feels like its on roller skates in the wet....
They look like forest gravel tyres!!!
Anyone had experience with these?
I intend to get some toyo or goodyear asap, today hopefully...

A lot of Jap import cars come over on snow tyres. Sal's MX-5 had these on when we bought it. They look like they have raised rubber studs on them. You're right though, totally useless for normal road conditions. I wouldn't even drive your car, except to the tyre fitters and get them changed ASAP.

Shop around for prices, check out the WBT forum on here, people are always posting where there are good prices.
Toyo proxies T1's, Goodyear eagle f1's (GSD2 or GS-D3's) get a lot of good press.
for 205 16's expect to pay around £ 80.00 per corner all in, even as low as £ 70.00 if you look around.

Never heard of this before.
Why would Jap imports come with snow tyres? If it was some Scandi country I could accept it but do the Japs have enough snow to bother with snow tyres? And if so, why would they sell the car with them fitted? So that they can sell their road wheels and tyres for even more cash I guess.

Plenty of snow, wicked ice, and yes, peeps use them a lot here.
If you can afford it, keep them for the big snow falls (if there is plenty of tread left of course) - the good ones work a treat
