Tyres for modified LCR

[cupra96]

Hi people,

I have a modified LCR which struggles for grip in third gear when pushed. Front tyres are on 2.5mm so in need of replacements soon, can't decide on what tyres to get, any recommendations for all seasons?

(347bhp/ 410 lb-ft)

I highly recommend you don't buy any due to lack of grip together with their other poor issues, also they are far from all seasons..

Putting that kinda power down all year round is gonna be hard on any tyre!

By no means an all season tyre but maybe summit like a Michelin pilot sport cup2 for all that power ,compromise will be wet grip n wear I suspect

You're joking ain't ya! Got the ps3's upfront and Bridgestone potenzas on the rear and its un stickable!

They've lasted about 5kmiles so far and still around 5 mill tread On them!

Tyres are very much down to personal opinion though tbh!

No I'm not joking, they just let go without warning so yes lack grip, I have two spare with 7mm left that I removed for when I sell the car. I also know to much about Mich. problems..

I am running yoko's AD08 on all 4 corners, amazing grip on dry and wet roads, not so good in heavy rain. Last year I paid almost £190 a corner for 225/40/18 but at the moment they are around £120 a corner, dunno why they are so cheap at the moment.

How long have they lasted? And under what sort of driving?

I like goodyear eagle F1 dsg3 but I believe they are no longer available and only the asymmetrical are available and don't know what they're like. Toyo proxes T1-R are hard to fault in mid corner break away feel. They are a bit of the easy side to wheel spin perhaps but lateral grip is very hard to beat with progressive break away and the wet grip level is almost as high as the dry grip level.

Tyre tech. has really moved on since both the GSD3 and T1-R, which for me was dire in the wet..

Got the michelin super sports on mine and think they're fantastic.

I do prefer toyo to goodyear but if the others could deliver more grip then I'd be well impressed.
