tyre advise please

[NATHAN182]

so ive owned my 182 for a few months now, it has original michelins exaltos on the back, unfortunately last owner changed front tyres to some very cheap ones and are both running very low aswell, cars handles bit s**t!
does anyone know of any tyre deals anywhere at the moment as i want to replace the front 2, dont have a clue what tyres to go for also 195's or 205's? my budget would be 200 pounds but ideally less.
theres place near me doing 2x yokohoma sdrives which are 195/45/16 for £114 this sound good?
thanks

try black circles or camskill mate

 

[NATHAN182]

okay cheers, any tyres you recommend and what size as there is a big price difference

 

[Gt rob]

195s are plenty cheaper, i run yoko paradas 205 width, good grip low mileage though. you should be able to get a pair of 205 profile miches for around £220 ish

 

[NATHAN182]

these any good.'Hankook Ventus V12 Evo K110' get good review and more in my price range, unfortunately michelins bit pricey for me atm

had four of these fitted to mine today, can't fault them so far n they have alot more feel than the pirelli p zero nero's I had taken off

theres a lad on here who runs 195/45.16 s drives.. "juude" see how he says they feel

 

[NATHAN182]

cheers guys, think im guna order some hankook v12's off blackcircles, also can anyone recommend some decent brake pads that would go with my standard discs,to give me a little better performance. bit scary at times :race:

Im so tyred of all these treads on what to do/get!?


FLOL!

Seriously though. +1 on the evo's.

Im impressed with my uniroyal rainsport 2's, and they were v. cheap.

DS2500 pads and brembo disks are pretty standard upgrade setup

Hankook Ventus V12 Evo K110 im currently looking for some new rubber, on black circles there £333 fitted, thought that werent too bad, so i probably get these

 

[CraigIrl]

I'm going to go with the Maxxis MA-Z1s on the front of my car just to try them, the seem to be rated not too badly recently.

 

[one in a million]

that was for 4 of them btw lol £330

ran the Hankook V12's for a few months on the front (exalto's on the back) and i can say they are awesome - i also prefer them to the exalto's tbh!

Kwik Fit are doing a promo on Bridgestones, which are tasty,

I moved my 172 onto Contis all round as the cheap tat gave out, they're good

does anyone recommend ebc brake pads? like redstuff or green stuff? would i notice a big difference with use on my standard discs?

NO NO NO NO NO!

Do not use ebc! They are made from chocolate mousse

oh! thought ppl rated these well! what do you recommend then? im not bothered how long they last (within reason) just want summit to stop is bit sharper

I rate EBC greenstuffs, mine lasted 2 trackdays and 35kish to.

I had them on my previous car, they caught on fire then fell apart!

Pagid blues if you want to spend the money i was very impressed when i had these, if not like i said ferrodo ds2500's are a good allrounder
