Tyre deals? need 4x 185/55/R15

[Pride07]

I'm after 4x budget tyres, maybe mid, where can i find some good deals?

current choice is NANKANG NS2 from http://www.tyretraders.com/tyreInformation|ItemID|NAN18555R1582VNS2.html#

I do not care about comfort, noise or wear.

I only care about wet/dry grip, maybe fuel economy as a decider

Budget and grip don't really belong in the sentence.

Take these, not the Nankang crap. Proper tyres for a decent price. They're 195/50s though which doesn't matter really (195/50s are often cheaper than 185/55s). Will fit your wheels fine.

I want to stick with the standard size, those are my favourite tyres but i'm sticking to 185/55/R15

So buy them in the size you want then ?!

Or save £20 a corner and get them in 195/50

:S

There's 1mph in it at 70mph.

If you change to 195/50/15, your tyres will be cheaper, meaning you can afford better ones, not some mickeywing-wongs which offer the grip of an oiled fish on ice.

195/50's fit perfectly fine and will make NO difference to the look of your car or the ride.

Its more for the insurance than anything

Ring them and tell them? They probably won't even care, just at least you've done your bit and told them.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

FLOL at declaring tyres. Did you call them when your old ones had worn out a little ? Because that's the same difference you're going to be experiencing.

They're hardly semi-slick borderline legal track tyres.

 

[James28]

Just listen to everyone on here and get 195/50/15's!!
That's what I did. Why the hell would insurance care lol? Half the time garages don't even know what size is standard.

 

[Pride07]

Well ok, guess if the speed and load ratings are fine then its hard to argue the tyre's unsuitability

 

[Pride07]

Can you use 80H tires on a clio 1.2? i can't find the load rating in the manual

 

[mr.pink87]

Will be fine. LI80s are rated up to 450kg per wheel.

But how did you work it out?

 

[mr.pink87]

Google. Chart with LI and wheelload in kgs.

 

[Pride07]

Now i want all season tyres

 

[Nmp1970]

I've just had 2 barum bravuris 2 tyres fitted that were cheap from tyre shopper ,and have read some good reviews. Have any of you guys bought or tried these?

 

[Nmp1970]

Forgot to say but I've had them on for 2-3 weeks and find they have good dry and wet grip.

If i was you i would buy 4 different part worn tyres that way you could compare all 4 then go get a set of the ones that are the bestest simples

[JaredHasNoBrain]

Anyone know some nice road tyres for the stock 172 alloy size,
there's 192/50/16's on them, but i've been speaking to someone saying 205/50 r16's would be better fitting,
advise ?
