197 tyres, a wee heads up for others.



  ST
My 197 will be due front tyres in the next few thousand miles, been going through the usual mytyres, camskill, black circles etc.

I stupidly put on two Avon ZZ3's last summer as at the time the Conti Sport Contact 3's were out of stock as i needed tyres ASAP i ordered up the ZZ3's as they seemed reasonably priced.

Big mistake tho, on nothing but bone dry roads they are all over the place, even just after the 500 or so miles 'running' in period they were rubbish.

So trawling the bay this afternoon i found this shop that maybe helpful to others:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2-NEW-CAR-TYRES-215-45-17-VR-CONTINENTAL-SPORT-CONTACT_W0QQitemZ300292253776QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Cars_Tyres_RL?hash=item300292253776&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1689|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318

£160 for two Conti 3's delivered seems pretty decent considering mytyres are £118 a corner.

The ebay shop above maybe helpful to others too as they do a range of sizes.

Cheers.

Nice one, thank you! My forthcoming R27 will need a couple in a few months on the front, so it's nice to find a good deal like that!!

Cheers :)

SOrry...My bad. "A guy" was sperming over them. Was at Turriff tyres. Not the bear.

I've not needed to change jus yet, car is 3k off it's second service so waiting until then.

I rang the number on their site it just went to voicemail tho they have good feedback so shouldn't be a problem.

as above, don't go by they picture, these tyres are not sport conti 3's they are just continetals in the same size, so not the same tyre,
