Tyre choices.

[imprezaworks]

Timing isn't brilliant but picking up a puncture on the way back from work, I need a new set of tyres, I have been putting it off.

Choices and the prices are pretty close, goodyear 5's being the cheapest. Ps5 I think are about £60 for a set dearer.


So.

Asy 5
Asy supersports. Epic in the dry, ish in the wet I think.

Ps4. Solid choice.
Ps5. I'm sure they will be decent.

For the golf? I just put a set of Goodyear asy 5 on mine. £306 fitted at my local protyre. They seem decent enough!

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah for the golf. Can get the 5 for 220 plus vat. Won't have to pay vat though.

 

[colesy]

I’d go that way then, decent tyres for that money.

 

[Joe#]

I ordered a pair of PS5's earlier on Camskill. £15 a tyre cheaper than PS4's in my size.

Yet to see a review anywhere on them, but like you say I can't see them being a poorer tyre.

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah will only be decent.

Sounds like your garage is run like ours.

 

[imprezaworks]

Depends how busy we are lol

 

[imprezaworks]

Went with the 5's. Was tempted by the supersport but think the standard will be decent.

They’re a little better but not night and day.

Had Assymetrics on my last Clio. Good tyres in my view. A Michelin might be a couple of percent better but, on a road car, you're probably not going to notice in reality.

 

[imprezaworks]

From reviews they are all about the same. I'm sure they will great.

Picked a puncture up last night so need to get the space saver on today, nice.

 

[Philip.]

I really rate my Assy 5's.

 

[imprezaworks]

Good enough for me

 

[Willo40]

My Assy 5's are good mate, well apart from the front one ending up with a puncture yesterday in the side wall, f**king thing has only done about 2,000 miles..

 

[imprezaworks]

Just put the space saver on. Tyre had split on the inside

 

[plenty]

Bear in mind Asy 5 will wear faster than PS4 despite being cheaper to buy.

 

[imprezaworks]

Will they?. Read reports the ps4 are worse and the ps5 will rectify this.

 

[Willo40]

i thought PS4's wore a bit quicker to be honest.

 

[imprezaworks]

Me too. Wasn't an issue as I don't many miles so wasn't a concern.

 

[plenty]

I have to admit I don't have direct experience of Asy 5 (only Asy 3) but have been informed by those with back to back experience that they wear quicker plus PS4 treadwear is rated 320 vs Asy 5 300.

For me personally PS4s have been harder wearing than other comparable UHP road tyres but if Goodyear have pulled off the hat trick of performance plus wear plus price over Michelin that's an excellent result.

Good thread at a good time.

I've got a slow puncture on the front of the bmw. They're s**t budgets, have cracking all the way round and are well passed their best so just gonna replace. Rears are sound though for a good few miles yet.

KwikFit have a deal on at the moment for 10% off Goodyears so gone for some Asymmetric 5s which will be getting fitted on Friday.

 

[R3k1355]

Costco had some pretty banging deals on Michelin not long ago, worth looking into.

 

[imprezaworks]

Was tempted by the supersports in the goodyears. But for what I need the 5's will be spot on

 

[Toby]

Am I the only idiot that still buys Proxes?

 

[_Tom]

I recently went from F1's to PS4S and the latter are noticibly better both wet and dry imo.

I bought a set of PS4's for my wife's CMax not long after they were released. I remember being quite disappointed with the wear after about 2-3k miles. Sold the car around that point, so can't really comment on full life. But the 4 sets of GY Asy 5's I've had since have seemed better.

I'm actually looking at a set of GY Asy 5's for my E91 now, as I've just bought some decent wheels to throw on it.

Apparently so

Anyone having any issues with Aysm 5's i have had 5 punctures now in a few months, and just noticed the tyre wall has a small egg in on the back, it's not new, but they have only done 3k at most, front one punctured a couple of weeks ago in the side wall so had to be replaced, probably just bad luck, but i wouldn't expect an egg in the side wall.

No problems here. On my second set too.

[imprezaworks]

I'd say just unlucky

Nope, had some on mine for around 2 years, never had a puncture and they're wearing well

 

[Willo40]

Obviously just me, cheers chaps.

Love the PS4 S I have on mine so the PS5 should be decent I reckon. I would go Michelin again all day long
