Best Front Tyres

[Matt_Pleece]

got a 16V 1.2 '03 clio and looking for some decent front tyres can anyone reccomend some? which ones should I stay away from?

 

[S Garbett]

u looking for winter tyres or alround??

 

[al]

PE2's

 

[edde]

Standard Continetal premium contact (the contact 2 aren't as good IMO)

195/50/15 are cheaper as well.

 

[jiminy]

put the good tyres on the rear

 

[Clio_dci100]

Yokahama a359's best ive eva used, transformed the handling of my car - might be best to get a set of 4 tho if you do imo

Stay well clear of A539's. Ok in the dry, last fairly well but oh my god don't ever let them get wet..........

 

[White16valver]

agree with that ^^^ !!

 

[bmh.01]

Eagle F1s personally, and deffo put the best ones on the back.

 

[Clio_dci100]

Nah teh yokies are good in the wet! hav to watch it a bit in the wet once the tread gets low tho lol

How ironic!!!

Conti's all day for me. I love em on road and track, wet or dry.

If they are good enough for renault to put on as standard.....

 

[TeZ]

....... they shouldnt be on there Correct.

put some Michelin Pilot Exalto II's on and then tell me the yoko's are good in the wet

some of their tyres will be, but not the A539

not a fan of F1's car seems to move more side to side out of the bends! my contisports where much better, but like said did make alot of screching when giving it some round the bends!

not had pe2's on yet but think i will be gettin them next

Are they the ones that come with the Clio Sport?

I'm needing new ones myself & thinkin of tryin a different brand for a change, but i want AMAZING HANDLING WET & DRY lol

always had PE2's, just ordered some parada spec2's for the front today, see how they compare, I find the PE2's tyre walls are to soft, ive scrubbed 3/4 of the michelin logo off. run at 32/30.

is that from fun driving or kearbs

 

[Black_clio]

pish.... conti are toss
PE2 and Paradas are best all round tyres and yes as everyelse says put best on back, check pressure when cold, blah blah blah

Each to there own but there worth a fair bit of time on circuit lap times cobnti against Toyo T1R and S. But hey the stopwatch is always wrong.

Nothing wrong with squeekling its fun I love it. As for breaking windows hum never done that I've had errr a lot of sets of Conti's as well.

Exactly.

There fast enough I can keep with other cars with other tyres makes on circuit so they have enough grip.

 

[White16valver]

Toyos are sheeeite IMO.

Can't wait to get them off!

Don't even like tracking them as they just roll over, scrub the shoulders smooth and don't bite.

And listen to the edde - possibly the fastest man in a DCi (I think?) on track

 

[DCI_DUDE]

Toyo t1s's love the grip but bit soft for everyday use !!! keilled a set in 6weeks (road driving only)

always yoko's spec2's !!!!!

(all the above is my personal op !!! and what i have used myself)

 

[young_lew]

i have F1's on the front and conti's on the rear

best setup imo

understeers in the wet (i'd rather understeer than the back snapping out)

and sticks like glue in the dry, if you're trying hard enough you can make the rear tyres scream lol
