Its all about tyres...

[handsyboy]

Right the problem is that i need 4 new tyres and i have exaltos on. I dont want to pay £80 a tyre but i do want quality. Is there another cheaper tyre out there you can get which is good or am i stuck with the exalto. Does anyone know where i can get the exalto cheaper than that?

Cheers all

Type tyres in on google, should give you an idea on prices etc, but £80 doesnt seem that bad. Only way you will get a decent drop in price is to fit 195's instead of 205's I think.

 

[handsyboy]

Is there another decent tyre around?

It's the rubber that keeps it on the road

Don't skimp on it.....whats the point of a performance car with s**t rubber

 

[KrissyBufton]

amen to that! ^^^

rubber is the most vital part of the car in my opinion, and im guessing Renault when designing/testing cars pick the tyre best suited for the car

i know its always upsetting to the wallet, and i feel the begrudging feelings of having to fork out £80/tyre...but its for the best

on a side note... how often do u find yourself on average needing to change tyres?

my mate works for a BMW dealership, and gets all his tyres for his cars on a discounted basis, and i could only get hold of Michelin Exalto's for like £70 each

^^^ Agree , sh*t tyres and your in a ditch , lol .Id' stick with the exaltos .

 

[Pep]

definately manufacturers recommended or better, no matter what the car.

costco want £120 for 2 new michellin energy's on my dynamique incl. fitting, and kwik-fit want £200! - sorry bit random but im glad i had a quick look around instead of going for the big names!!

 

[Racy Jace]

So what are the best tyres for a 182

I think Ive got Mitchelin pilot sports on but the grip doesnt feel the best so I could do with changing.

Tyres and brakes are the last thing any one should skimp on if they tend to go above the speed limit

. As above. They are the things that are gonna stop the car and keep it under controll

search for posts on eagle f1s? Just had 2 fitted so not tested properly but seem to rate highly and I got 2 fitted locally for £95

 

[DamoWales]

Lol my cars crappy so i spend £30 per wheel lol

 

[Andy.]

I just fitted Toyo t1-R's... they are leagues ahead of my old Conti sport contacts in terms of grip. Although that could be because I was down to 2 mm of profile.

I wouldnt skimp on tyres, ive heard F1's dont last as long as the PE2's, might be wrong though.

[christhekiddy]

P Zeros?

 

[drhowser]

definately try the toyos! well sticky, just don't last that long if you cane them. and camskills are worth a look for good prices.

 

[Batman]

i'm thinking on goign onto toyo r888's

 

[Danith]

toyos are well good. sticky as u like.
ive got avons on mine and i wouldnt recommend them so cross them off.
cheapest place by far for tyres ive found is www.mytyres.co.uk but wait 5 days for delivery.
