Morning all,
What sort of tyres are people running on their Twingo other than the standard ones? I've pretty much had enough of the combination of the original tyres and my mrs, and my wallet isn't too happy about it either!
The original Contisport tyres have a tread narrower than the wheel and have an appearance of being stretched onto the wheel, with quite a pronounced rim protector that does nothing to protect the rim. What it does instead is when she does brush a kerb, the wheel gains a kerb mark anyhow but the big rim protector snags and a chunk tears out, this time the tear disappears into the bead behind the rim! This will be the second new tyre in three months and she's only had the car since November
I'm pondering replacing all the tyres with a more conventional design but wondered what people might recommend, don't want to degrade the handling or next thing will be she tears a chunk out of the car itself instead of a tyre :S
Cheers
