Thought competition ones werent, or slicks....

20% on 4 tyres supply n fit then please

Best ive had in the past is tenner a corner, some places 15 Ed: oh, not kwikfit either.

Are you a sales rep

Dont bother using sites that just sell tyres, dont want the rip off of getting them fitted. I always search for supply and fit so havent used Camskills b4. When i opened the link it showed £27 people carrier tyres. Lol. PS3s for me then, or rainsports at £50 cheaper.... but like Michelin

Ha! Righto- people carrier tyres? Thats what the link says Have had good experiences with PS3s so prob go with them. Track tyre, not sure yet

The replies to my OP suggest that mostly people think tyres are most important to grip. Cant say Im too surprised. May well get a set of 4 x PS3s/4s for everyday and wet use, and some track specific tyres x 4 probably nexen ns2r's ad08r's, federal 595, or toyo r1r's Any other suggestions...

Federal rsrs not recommended for road use then

I do take your point, but i already have 2 new ones fitted. £88. And nothing suggested so far is that price fitted. So 2 more wont hurt. This thread will make me think what to fit on my other set of wheels, and if they will be track specific or just track biased. T1rs be fine in the dry. They...

Yes, 4 would be best. Just wondered if there were any major drawbacks. Grippy on front, performance on back :-) Just took it from the first ad on google- saw tire was spelt the Yank way. Feedback generally 50:50 on T1Rs. Nit so good in the wet, seem good in the dry. Noisyish, and dont wear...

Whats the thoughts on 2 different pairs tyres upfront, and at rear? The things one reads ... "Proxes T1R is an ultra-high performance tire designed exclusively for high-end sport sedans and coupes. The Proxes T1R features a refined tread design and construction that offers improved dry and...

i do have a second set i was gonna fit PS3s to, get them powder coated (blue) and drive to the shows/ track in them. Then swap to the TR1s and drive home in them.

Did think that. Maybe for my second set. Maybe my second set of rims, postpone the powder coating, stick some used r888s see how they go. Dont tell the mrs, but maybe a 3rd dirt cheap set of clean rims with track specifics on. .. ..

Federals are pretty much track specific, and dont want to run track specifics really (this year) Your point on spacers seems worthwhile, but dont see why everyone recommends a front wheel spacing greater than the rear. Always worked the other way round on my other motors. But will get some 10mm...

Knew someone would say that, and not saying your wrong, but have friends who say theyre OK and quite stable for the track. Not R888s obvs. T1R.. my bad :-)

A mix of Toyo Tr1 and Toyo proxy 4's, 2 of which are new, and 2 are 4mm (tr4's )but will change those 2 soon for new TR1s. Realise they arent the greatest in the wet, but want Toyos all round for the track as theyre cheap. Have another set of rims which will be putting PS3's on for non track...

My Clio ph1 overhaul after purchasing in October 2016 going pretty well. Lots done, with the throttle body issue being most stubborn. Almost there with that hopefully. All decaled up in 172 blue stickers too. Gearbox oil, checkout/adjust the coilover suspension and height, only got 20mm...

Good luck- think it goes to show that unless they are reeeeaalllyy fancy wheels, locking nuts are a no go nowadays. Havent used them for years, unless they came with a new car How many times do we hear of car wheels being pinched- loads wheels with no locking nuts

No. comes back to normal within a second or 2 on its own

My replacement throttle body seems much better, and seems to get better Funny thing is tho, when the engine is cold on first start up, accelerator pedal acts perfect for a few minutes till its gets warm, then just a slight glitch when taking out of gear approaching a junction when it goes up...

Lyden here you come ;-)

How much they charge Ash- i get up 7oaks 2wice a month?

welcome to the Club :-)

Yes. Lovely blue.

Happy birthday. Some people die at 30, or even less, dont make it right

But then it may come back with some problems... like the spring. Then its £85 up the shifty. But tend to agree with you.

Mines done 84k, and its temperemental as a yo- yo. The replacement is a lot better, but not perfect. Which one i send off to get bored out? ...

But you would expect something as intrinsic as a throttle body to last longer than pads and tyres. Would expect 100k miles at least, and most dont make anywhere near that.
