Tyre prices?

[Hazza]

Would 185/55/15 tyres be more expensive than tyres with a 195/50/15

??

My gf got quoted £57 per tyre, for Admiral 185/55/r15...

Thats expensvie right?

 

[JON13S]

sounds it as i paid 50 quid for each for 195/45/16 contis!

 

[Hazza]

So it sounds about right?...

Coz i got Toyo Proxes4 195/50/15 for £39 each

And these are Admiral tyres, budget ones :S

 

[JON13S]

yup they sell shed loads of them where my mate works! really are just for those who have to put some form of rubber on their rims. better deals to be had out there.....

 

[Hazza]

Got quoted £55 for Pirellis...

If all 4 are needed, get 195/50/15. Would be a fair saving. 185/55/15 are an expensive size.

Yea only the front 2 are needed, and the back two are already 185/55/15 so i guess they will have to match.

New ones on the back

Oversteer might look fun but can be lethal on the road.

 

[Hazza]

Oversteer?? Why?

More tread/grip on the front, less at the back = lively back end

What he said ^^^

185/55/15s are an expensive size and can be changed for 195/50/15 (which are much more common and therefore much cheaper) with not much change in handling. And yes, you can run different sizes on different axles, as long as they match on each axle (i.e. 185/55/15 front, 195/50/15 rear).

mytyres is probably the cheapest place you'll find tyres, or perhaps one of the other online suppliers.

I'd always spend a little more to get a decent tyre - they're they only thing holding you on the road so don't skimp...
