what are the best tyre for the impreza turbo 2000 and where can i get them for cheapest price? I have read about some in magazines but what is your opion? I can maybe get michelin tyres for cheap, are the michelins good in the wet?



I have toyo 215/40/17 at the mo

 

Do you not rate the Toyos? Loads of people including myself run these and will probably have some more.
If you don't like them then the Scoobynet fave rubber is the Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD-3

 

yeh mate I like the toyo tyres and for the price will probably get the same again, but i just wondered if there was better out at the moment.

cheers

 

The Goodyears have a slightly different compound and feel different throught the steering wheel than the Toyo's.

There's very little difference in grip in dry or wet IMO though, but for the small amount of cash between the 2 tyres, if you've not tried the Goodyears yet, it's probably worth you having a go just to see what you think on your car!

MyTyres tend to be around the best for cost, depending on where you are in the country

 

Cheers Blueboy.

 

I was quoted £107 by kwik Fit for Eagle F1s in 205/40/17. They'd never heard of Toyo Proxes though.

 

I've been told (probably lies) that a Pirelli P7000 is meant to be the best, used for fast/raced impreza's. Sounds like sh*t to me?

 

Goodyears - £92 from MyTyres, delivered to your door

BTW how much does somewhere like KwikFit charge to fit your own tyres?

 

Kwikfit, ATS, Charlie Brown's etc round my way won't touch tyres not purchased off them. I had to go to an independant to get a pair thrown on my mother's mota

 

National tyres, kwik fit, charlie browns etc. all charge between £5-£8 round here.

 

Are the P-zero nero's good??

 

im a fan of the toyos. a place in malvern is doing them at £81 each which is quite good. 215/40/17

 

Er, don't pay £81 yet......if you can wait a few days, may be able to put you on to a supplier retailing them for £66.50 each, inc. vat, plus £10 delivery, that's for 215/40/17 Toyos. So stunned by this price I want to hold him to it before I commit to getting everyone else too excited.

 

I have just bought 4 off 215/40/17 Toyo TS1's for £270 inc P&P. This works out as £65 per tyre and £10 P&P for the set.

I found the company (Leigh Tyres) from ebay, you can order through ebay or get their phone number from their on line shop and give them a call. My tyres arrived within two days, most arrive the next day.
