[phunkey_monkeh]

I think im probably going to need some new ones in a month or so again lol

 

[y0z2a]

I am trying to buy a hundred odd, so will see what the best price I can get is.

If there is no big saving, I wont bother.

Similar to last time to be honest price wise.

[Andy_M]

I could be interested in a pair.

Dont think many F1 fans would agree with you there

Does anyone know if these work well on standard 15" 172 m1 alloys? Are the sidewalls stiff?

 

[stusV6]

Everybody seems cool about it............SAFETY first ...............and I didnt make them eh

Cya Stu

 

[TomS]

How did you go about getting that job Stu? if you dont mind me asking? sounds interesting....

Deffo saving for a set of PE2s next, I take it they will have the same rim protection as the Goodyear F1s in 15s?

[stusV6]

My dad handed in an application form for me, got the interview and that was that...........you would be surprised how a tyre is actually made..............for a start there is approx 38 parts in each tyre............just some trivia for you there

Cya Stu

And the bonus is FREE tyres as and when you need them. ..............for one car only and that car has to be in your name

[TomS]

Love to see how they are made lol

 

[stusV6]

No previous knowledge Tom................we often have open days for family and friends..............so if youre ever in Dundee and theres one on then your there eh

they stopped the red dot markings now? I got some 182 V rated ones the other week from mytyres and thay had no dots at all.



(compared to some new ones with the red dot, couldnt tell a difference in feel, maybe wouldnt be able to anyway?)

 

[TomS]

Cheers Stu, long way but thanks

Id be really interested in seeing the factory etc

Cheers

Tom

you cant "buy" the red dot ones from any supplier, as they will not know what you are on about.

205 45 16 is what I am talking about in terms of size.

Cost - about £5 more than the group buy we did last time (as I lost money on it as the prices went up by a few quid) :-(

Some of the tyres from the last group buy had the red dot on. Phunky_Monkey was at the ring with these tyres on. Anyone that went in the car noticed that it gripped like a limpet. Noticable better than the other Clios it was a 182 cup only mod front strut brace.

[martynh]

I take it the red dot is found on the cup supsension tyre? Any clarification from Renault about this?

Yes.

[TheJesus]

sorry if this has been asked, I didnt bother reading the whole thread but can you get 185/55/15s? and how much?

 

[y0z2a]

yes I can mate.

BeJesus give us a bell and I will sort out.

/y0z

 

[TheJesus]

i may need a couple in the near future pal, will have to check the tread on mine as it will need some new fronts either way before I sell it, in bits or otherwise.

 

[d4ve86]

yoz when i got my group buy iv got one tyre with a red dont a line around it and the other 3 no dot and a green line arounf it!

 

[y0z2a]

this is what I was saying, the suppliers just supply the tyres, not look at red dots.

/y0z

 

[McBunny]

to be honest im not sure the dot means sh*t


i just had to buy another 2 for 83 ex vat for 205/45/16 Ws

 

[y0z2a]

i just got 6 ws for people over the last few days for people who couldnt wait.

/y0

 

[McBunny]

[d4ve86]

Official line from Renault is:-

red dot = cup tyre

green dot / line non cup tyre.

For me 3 of one and one of the other is a bit dangerous.

there was no dot or ring in any colour on mine.

 

[Liam]

the ones i bought a few months ago from mytryes had the red dot like the original tyres. The latest batches dont have any dots on them, not green or red.
