[imprezaworks]

Thanks tom

 

[imprezaworks]

Also that's a bargain at 68. I've just bought some bloody michelin cup sports, ffs

 

[StuOwen86]

What's the difference between these and the 888's in the for sale section for £100. Just curious that's all.

 

[imprezaworks]

Apart from price is can't see much else tbh

The price

 

[imprezaworks]

Rsr or 888's

Price wise 204 rsr vs 272 888's

 

[Ph1 Tom]

Unless it's wet, R888

 

[StuOwen86]

To be fair I would try the RSR @ almost £70 a set cheaper and after some decent reviews I don't think I would turn them down. Put the £70 toward a track day then lol

 

[imprezaworks]

There is that. But I rarely use the car and want a new set to drive there and back, then remove them when I get home

Has anyone used that website before for tyre purchases?

 

[imprezaworks]

I haven't but have read good reviews.

I ordered a set just before Christmas at £74 a tyre, arrived New Years eve. Wish I'd held out another couple of weeks now.

You beat me lol

 

[StuOwen86]

I had a discount code for my tyres but it ran out the day i ordered my pilot sports. Only 4% but still better than nothing when they were the cheapest anyway. Good service too my dad used them for his tyres and special oil for his car also and he swears by them.

 

[imprezaworks]

Are these the soft or medium compound

What compound did they turn out to be?

 

[jamie_8]

What compound did they turn out to be?

They were medium compound that turned up to me.

 

[Ph1 Tom]

I've used oponeo. Good service. The R888 they sell are GG Medium

Those RSR's split and crack, I've seen some and read about some bad experiences... They either had a bad batch or they are p155 poor..

 

[imprezaworks]

But I've read the 888 ' crack. Aparantly its not an issue

 

[jamie_8]

888's tend to crack due to not being stored properly, if there stuck in the cold too long the rubber can go hard and that's when the cracks start to appear, keep them in the warm and they should be fine.

With the rsr's it seems to be that they split where there moulded together in the factory. Some people are happy to use them like this, some aren't. I personally wouldn't use a tyre if it had splits in it, but each to there own.

 

[aucky]

Ordered.

 

[Ph1 Tom]

The rsr split slightly and eventually it goes away.

 

[car.crash]

The RSR split across the width of the tyre and people still defend these. :/

 

[ed55j]

Not had any issues with the rsr's

 

[imprezaworks]

Ignore that. My tyres still have them at 53. I've been reading that some of the federals are cheap because there not the proper ones that have been imported? Anyone else read this

 

[TarkMalbot]

Bargain! I wonder what compound they are??

 

[imprezaworks]

Medium aparanntly

 

[Martin.]

Price has changed now?

 

[imprezaworks]

Bloody he'll hasn't it just, lol.

 

[imprezaworks]

They have no stock and the chap i spoke to was about as helpful as aids

Same. I said I wasn't happy they were making this my problem, and tried to make them honour it but got nowhere. So I just said refund me, he said ok, I hung up.

Won't be using this company again. Shoddy.

 

[imprezaworks]

My impressions werent great. So did you buy them and then they said 'tough', they have gone back up!

 

[aucky]

Yep, already ordered.

My options were to choose another tyre, pay the deficit, or refund. Idiots.
