RE: Tyres

[colin76]

Hi there,

The wife is running a Cupra- in need of a new set of tyres on the front soon!!!! currently running on Pirelli's, just want to know if anyone has fitted anything different and been happy with the results.

Cheers

yokohama paradas are a good tyre

 

[dalegolf215]

I'm running uniroyals quite happy with them and well priced too

Cheers- will get in the interweb and check them out

yokohama paradas are a good tyre

what he said , i've had mine on for ages and they've been really good, just a word of warning they aren't great in the wet and when the tread gets below 3mm (wet and dry)

 

[darkhorse]

Uniroyal Rainsport, as the name suggests are good in the wet and better than Pirelli P-Zero in wet and dry. If you can find them, they are cheaper than Pirelli's as well

I am up for a pair of front tyres (205/17) when i get paid, how did you get on with the Uniroyal Rainsport's, any good?

What price can i expect to pay fitted.


Cheers

how many miles you getting out of the paradas?

 

[Copey]

Parada's are soft compound, will chew through them if you psuhing big power, I like the Flaken 452's or the Uniroyals, best tyres ive ever had are the conti contact sport's

 

[FR_MATT]

All the tyres needed replacing when I got the car in June last year, the Hankook Pro Evo v12 I had put on were a lot better than the Pirellis on it to begin with but then they were knackered and only drove to the tyre place with them on.

They seem to have lost a lot of grip lately, even in the dry coming out of roundabouts its faster to make progress in 3rd than spinning up the wheels in 2nd, which never use to be the case.

I've got around 3mm left on the front and 4ish on the back after 16k miles and switching them around to wear more equally, so I don't think I've done too bad.

I'm only running standard power (it did roll 145 hp @ wheels 305 ft/lb at Awesome gti though!) I just fancied something a bit stickeyer for spring/summer

I've got Toyo Proxie 4's and I think they're quite good

 

[thePHILosipher]

ive had 22k out of the parada's with a swop back to front after 18k, they now need changing however.

 

[great_kahn]

Uniroyal rainsport 2's on the front of my cupra, got 2 rainsport 2's going on the back tomorrow from black circles.

More expensive than Toyo proxes T1r's, but there a much tougher compound, seem to be lasting alot longer.

 

[Hartosh1]

Ive had the Toyo Proxies and highly rate them in the wet and dry but they dont last very long but im moving to the parada spec 2's once i get my new wheels

 

[Modelmakerman]

What are the Uniroyals like for noise?

 

[CJS-90]

I've got Toyo PX4's, they do the job very well

Cheers

I paid £79ea fitted but they are 215/40 so expect to pay £70-75
They are quite noisy to be fair but I'd prefer better performance over low noise

 

[great_kahn]

Same as the Toyo's nothing else to compare it with on mine sorry.

 

[truss]

toyo T1r. ive done about 5k on them and theyve got plenty left in them. good i nthe wet even better in the dry!

 

[evo2345]

for the money cant fault falkern FK452 i had these on my Mk4 ibiza and they were really good in wet and dry conditions
