Just done a trackday with them on the front & once they warmed up they were ok to be honest :evil:

Good budget tyre in my opinion...................

 

[Ads_172]

People jump on the bandwagon of what they think the tyre's like without ever having used them...

I've got them on the rear of mine and they've been fine for the last few months in all sorts of crap weather. I'm not saying they're a top quality tyre but I bought them to save some cash pre-MOT time and I've been surprisingly impressed with them for the money.

 

[Rich]

I was 'lucky' enough to be a passenger out on track in a car running them - we spent a fair bit of time experiencing chronic understeer before the eventual 'off' at Quarry - I will second the Ditchfinders comment !

 

[Ads_172]

Maybe nearer the limit is where they fail, but they seem fine stuck on a daily driver...

 

[scotty493]

any suggestions what tyres to go for?

 

[Bluebeard]

I had Fulda 205/40/17's on my old Rover coupe and I thought they were a good tyre.

Cheap too! £45 fitted each IIRC?

 

[Fletcher]

any suggestions what tyres to go for?

Conit sport contacts, Michelin PE2's, Goodyear F1''s are all pretty good tyres for the 172..i'm running conti's atm.

 

[ben lee]

depends on your budget.
i pefer admrals to the nankangs hate toyos only fit brands to my car now bridgestones er300 are what im running on my nova and p-zero neros on my clio.

 

[scotty493]

what rating do i need they was coming out with w ,r, v ?

 

[ben lee]

kwikfit are doing 30% of 4 perrilis if bought off line or get a quote and take into them.

 

[scotty493]

what rating do i go for when i called before they was banging on about zr, w, v what would i need?

 

[Bluebeard]

I would have thought W would be fine. Upto 130mph iirc?

 

[Earpl]

ditch master specials!

 

[aliengravy]

I have got nankangs on the front of mine! always had conti 2's until i blew 2 conti 2's on a bend and had to get them replaced in a hurry so went for nankangs at 30 pound a pop! i must say they are good in the dry! not as good as conti 2's but there good! but i think they are dangerous in the wet, especially on wet leaves! the conti 2's where 10,000 times better! the nankangs give at anything in the wet, and on main roads i find the aqua planing unbelieveable!! if its all you can afford then go for them! but be weary in the wet! if you can afford a bit more for conti 2s go for it!!

 

[teeCup]

the nankangs i had on my 1.2 didnt last very long and were horrible in the wet.

budgets are fine for driving normally, like just to the shops and things, but if you like to push your car of have a spirited drive i would really invest in some good rubber.

after all a few extra quid on some rubber might keep you on the road, or from going into the back of someone one day and that will cost a fair few quid more than some proper tires will once a year!

IMO of course!
