What Tyres?

[Soyasauce]

Its time to get some new front tyres for my cupra. Still on factory fitted Pzero's which have lasted 36000 miles. Does anyone have any good reccommendations as to which brand I should go for next? Dealership now offering Dunlops at £135 per tyre.

Is that a typo - or have you just said you have got 36k out of your original tyres?.

 

[Soyasauce]

No typo mate. Had to do a lot of commuting mostly on motorway. Thankfully not in the same job anymore so my milage is a lot less now!

ive done 41000 on the factory fit pzeros now on the back but still have 5mm left

 

[Blade]

Wow, respect mate. I haven,t got the self control to make tyres last that long. Just use the search button as everybody has a different opinion on the best tyres for the Cupra. I,m a Bridgestone RE050A man.

 

[Soyasauce]

Ok cheers fella. I'll have a look at those.

Just fitted a pair of Vresdtein Ultrac Sessantas to my K1 after getting 16K out of the original Bridgestone RE050As.

I've driven about 3 miles on the new ones but too soon to tell. £85 each + a fiver delivery from Camskill (as mentioned in another thread). Another £20 to get them fitted at riverside tyres near Rawtenstall (nice chaps, one has an old shape 20VT Leon), job done.

 

[Soyasauce]

Yeah I was looking at the Vredestein last night. Good looking tyre and decent price. whats the road noise like? Notice any difference?

 

[pstables]

Stil only driven it in 30 limits so can't yet comment on tyre noise.

 

[paul-murphys]

get the Vresdtein Ultrac Sessantas i fitted mine last week done 300 miles in them mixed driving an love them, tyre noise isnt to bad but i noticed i getting stones stuck in big tread pattern. i really rate them i do.

 

[Marshall]

yeah I fitted these vredsteins today and think there really good replaced my pzero's found them quieter than my pzero's only done 40 miles though but they also look really smart .

vredestiens are pretty good in snow aswell with the big grooves, as its that time of year thought i would mention that, but i was happy with the good grip in the dry and was ok in the wet too. Mine will last till summer then will replace with R888 or kuhmo v70a's for some real grip.

I have these on my Mazda and they are excellent in both wet and dry. The tread stability is first class and you can really push them hard. Forgiving on the limit too. Wear rate isn't great but that may have something to do with the fun you have pushing them around twisty B roads

 

[Hurdy]

I've got the Vredesteins on my ED30 and think they are great. I've had Conti's on and Goodyear Eagle F1 assyms, but the VUS's are better, especially in the wet.

 

[spenny2004]

i would still recommend the bridgestone RE050A they have been great for me. I got mine for £126 each fitted through mytyres. REally good tyre, a bit noisy but very good grip

 

[Red Cupra]

Another vote for the Bridgestone REO50's, on probably my sixth set by now, wouldn't put anything else near my cupras (had them as 17s on my mk 1 cupra) and I've just shod the front on my k1 about a month ago, cost me £250 all in. They are super grippy in both the dry and wet and get up to temperature very quickly which is ideal for me as I live along twisty country roads.

Vredestiens will prob not be in such great condition as the p zeros are in 20 or 30 thousand miles.
I REST MY CASE.

 

[Al]

Cripes - 36+k miles on one set of tyres?! Mine is on 28000 and on its 4th set of fronts and second set of rears.

I recommend Goodyear Eagle F1 Asdsymetrics. I have had Bridgestones, Pirellis, and currently Vredsteins. Goodyears are definitely the best.

 

[FAST AL]

Speak as you find mate.Thats all.

 

[FAST AL]

To be honest mines only done 16k and ready for a new set of fronts but rears are almost as new.
