Tyres again.. :/

[Doc]

after seeing alot of ppl agree and disagree about the tyres on a cup.. i went to mytyres (as y0z2a didnt reply) and found these

SportContact 195/45 R16 80V for £59 each

are these the ones i want? as i love the handling of the standard cup tyres

i swapped mine for goodyear eagle gsd3s, and imho there 100 times better than the contis, and i got them for £65 from mytyres

Ive got the pilot exaltos on my cup and in my opinion there is much more grip available and they are also better in the wet. Hard to find them at a cheap price though.

I got 2 exaltos from my tyres at £156

Theres a cash back offer from mich at the mo so i got £20 back.

So thats 2 for £136

Not bad imho!

Thats 205/45 r16v

tbh id be totally shocked with more grip, the thing doesnt ever understeer(only in wet, which is normal).

anyone else wanna add comments .. or atleast tell me if the tyres ive found are the right ones? as to change brands id only be comfortable with having 4 matching = alot more cost, my rears are like new

I also have GSD3s on my cup and they p*ss all over the contis, so much more grip, a lot more predictable, and 100 times better under braking.

Also got them from mytyres.

Am on my 4th set now after 12,000 miles hehe

Oh yea, the contis u have listed are the correct ones...

if my rears were low then i would swap .. but being as they have lots of tread ill stay with contis

one thing im confused about.. my car came with 14000 miles on it. came from 1 lady owner.. but the front tyres have a diff tread pattern .. only slightly. but yet they have identical codes and specs front and back ..
