New Tyres

[Steveold]

Ahhhhhh.... Just ordered my new tyres, 195 50 15s instead of 185 55 15s a total saving of £24 a tyre. They are Bridgestone Potenza RE720 got a very good write up better that Goodyear f1s... £51 each tyre fitted......

I now have wider fronts than rears so should be able to get oversteer easier!!!

i have yoko proxes. I changed mine after a puncture, the replacements were over a 100 so i thought i might as well actually go for something decent. Whered you get yours fitted steve?

Same as the standard ones... I think the mk1 172 had 195 50 15s.....

 

[R3OBC]

i thought with there being n extra 10mm or fubber they would have a bit more of an overhang! not that noticeable then? Who care, More grip, less money cool

Na the 185s more like come inward the 195s seem to just go straight with the alloy

 

[RobFenn]

can you get like 195/40/15s or does no one do that low a profile for that size alloy?

Ok I got my tires.... They do come out slightly but understeer has almost gone.... Too much traffic to see about oversteer at the moment but im sure i will find out soon enough.... In a few words bridgestone RE 720s are the nuts!! He also said those contis are sh*te they have had lots of complaints about them wearing quickly!
