182 tyres help

[Jamie _Swales]

My cars done just over 8000 miles, front tyres are bald, how long do your tyres last?

How much are new tyres for 182 with cup packs?

 

[oneeighttwo]

Thats not bad, I changed my fronts at about 7200 miles, but I saved a bit of tread for a track day and kept the tyres. Ive got a 182 wiv cup pack and I got my tyres off http://www.mytyres.co.ukwww.mytyres.co.uk. (I got like for like did not change the make) They seemed to be the cheapest. Once delivered I took them to a garage who fitted them for 7 quid a corner. Cheapist other then that I could find was 118 fitted. Unless you know someone in the trade then have a look on mytyres.co.uk

doesnt matter what 182 youve got, the tyres are the same

£75 each from us

 

[Munson]

Mine have done 11,000miles and still have plenty of tread left

 

[Leeshez]

I paid £100 for a tyre and my car has done 4K. I had a blow out.

I do mate, but I dont grind the rubber into round-a-bouts trying to look cool whilst scrubbing pound coins into the tarmac, I drive my Cup very hard at times, but I usually like to test my commitment in high speed sweeping bends, and medium speed rapid direction change S bends.

Hammering hard into hairpins might be fun, but its the best way to leave behind half the rubber. I drive it hard, but Im always midfull of trying to leave more rubber on the tyre than on the road. I have fun with the car and I reckon Ill see 13k from my fronts, so I must be doing something right

 

[Paul_G]

Yep as Roy points out above, not a lot of point scrubbing the tyres on round-abouts - the fun stuff is medium to high speed corners and fast B roads with a series of left & right hand bends which require quick direction changes.

I got 16,500 miles out of the fronts on mine!

inc VAT and delivery

 

[Big G]

Ive just ticked over 8000 miles and i still have decent tread left, although they are starting to look worn and im guessing might need replaced at 12000 or so miles.

 

[Guy]

12,5k miles and got about 3-4mm of tread left.

 

[rory182]

costco do michelin pilot exalto pe2 for about £78 inc fitting and often have discount vouchers, i get mine there.

 

[Munson]

I have about 3mm left before I hit the wear markers, so Im guessing they will run on to around 14k before they need changing. The nearside front looks a bit shabby on the ouitside edge though...bloody roundabouts...

 

[rory182]

i got bout 14k of a and b road blasting, average speed 60-70 out of my fronts, new tyres to the back and my original back tyres have since covered 8k on the front and have another 1k life left.

Dont accelerate in 1st gear, its pointless! lol

so much for "stiff sidewalls"

 

[Munson]

^^Eh? Surely theyre still going to wear more on the nearside front?

 

[Breeze]

My front tyres need changing now as theyve just hit the wear markers... 23,500miles! I do drive it quickly most of the time but I havent done any track days in it... else I guess they would have been worn out sooner!

 

[ESCOBAR]

I got 18000 out my front 2 tyres - and no I wasnt driving miss daisy

 

[Gary G]

What the hell...mine only lasted 6k!!!!! lol. Guess that makes me a holigan then )

 

[Turkish]

Mine last the same. I drive like a c*nt and theres lots of roundabouts here to get the car nice and sideways on

 

[eltel21]

16000 with 6 trackdays.

Need changing now as the writing on the sidewall has disappeared.

Thats my problem then, never noticed it spins slightly in first even when not wet

 

[Dave]

Fronts lasted 12k. Got the old rears on the fronts now at 16k and plenty left.

 

[Trail182]

My fronts are well and truly battered now, but I have managed to get 19k out of them! Well chuffed with this because I typically have a blast every day but like Mr Munson, I do think about my tyres when caining it.

So where is the best place to buy the replacements from and would you recommend sticking the existing rears on the front when I get the news ones?

Cheers.

 

[Jamie _Swales]

Any1 know how much tyres tend to cost from renault dealers? i got given a buy one get one free tyre voucher when i gopt my car?

 

[Breeze]

I got quoted £143 each from my dealer in Bournemouth!

I changed my front tyres at 23,640 miles a few days ago and got them to swap the front and rear tyres at the same time. £97 each from Micheldever Tyres near Winchester (they were the only place within a reasonable distance I found that had them in stock)
