Cheap tyres??

[matttr6]

I require 4 tyres:dapprove:

Due to a recent service coming in at more cost then expected (top job done though), funds are a bit tight. Usually I'd go for PE2's but they're way too much.

Currently thinking Toyo T1's or Pirelli Nero's. Anyone got any others?? And can suggest a supplier??

* Also is it worth going to 195. I've noticed its quite a bit cheaper, but would it cause issues with insurance in event of accident?? Do Renault reccomend it??

just slaped 4 goodyear eagle f1's on. Very impressed!! but they were free lol.

Guessing most will say toyo's

Toyos are shiiiiiite IMO

Do you have a credit card? Given that they're the only things holding you on the road and that winter is coming, I really do think that it's money well spent, even if you have to pay it off over a couple of months!

Eagle F1 get my vote, especially in the wet, but I've not had PE2s yet so can't comment on any comparison.

toyo t1r's are superb in any weather imo - particually heavy rain

Yep, have cc. Paid for service with it though:dapprove:

Fully agree with getting the best you can, just really can't stretch to pe2's (my preferred tyres)

Anyone tried Pirelli Nero's. Quite cheap, also Toyo's are cheap-mixed reviews tho

Toyo T1Rs, used to have them on my Elise. Like any forum asking which tyre you'll get plenty of conflicting responses as every ones an expert. The best way is to try things out for yourself.

I use toyo proxes 4, A wee bit slippy in the wet when worn, but awesome in the dry.

But saying that I have nothing to compare them too.

thats very true, but next to the bridgestones that were on my fiesta, its a night + day difference imo

 

[wicker man]

have a look at kumho ku31 there a good price & i really rate them stuck them on loads of cars over the years & never had a problem

x4 to be going on the 172 before winter kicks in to replace the heros lmao

Goodyear eagles are a bit cheaper, very good grip, but not as good as PE2 in my experience. No personal use of Toyos, heard a lot of mixed reviews.

Ive just got Toyo T1Rs, £123 inc. delievery on ebay. So far so good, only tried out in the wet and not proper pushed them yet because of the bad things ive heard about them. But they seem good to me for the price.

 

[Tom84]

ive had pirelli's on for the last 6 months and they are very good in both wet and dry, have worn done quite quick but i thick thats more down to my driving lol

 

[matttr6]

Thanks for avice so far, seems I can get Pirellis cheapest.

Anyone changed to 195?? Would you recommend/ not recommend it?? Is it an approved fitment??
