any one tried regal tyres? Need new tyres quick sharp

By the looks of it, Regals are produced by Dunlop in South Africa and seem to look like the Dunlop Sport range.

As for tyre wear or grip, no idea sorry mate.

Im on Kuhmo's KU31's i beleive at the moment, I have put a strut brace no and lowered my car since i had Pzero Neros on, but the kuhmo's are in my opinion hold up just fine, with as decent grip levels also.
 
Dunlops suck donkey balls with light cars such as our ibiza's. Toyos can be had for cheap off the net.
 
I'm guessing i'm the only one on here stupid enough to stick with the bridgestone turanza 16's then? £90 a tyre is a bit of a rape, but 7700 miles later they still have the same amount of tread left pretty much.
 
buy decent tyres like f1, mich, or summit else dunno why ppl buy toyo's or cheap things like regals get 5k out them and moan why don't last long get what you pay for end of day

Yeah the grip on mine isn't the best in ice / snow, but seem to be ok in the rain / dry and if they last 35k miles or so (apparently) then i guess its worth it. Been getting mixed reviews on the Eagles etc. Might change my mind when i have to replace all 4 though.. But with the roads in Scotland at the moment, il probably have to replace 1 at a time due to punctures! 1 down 3 to go heh.
 
Well thats what I found, also dont think I am alone as there have been many posts nocking about saying exactly the same.
 
u want to chill mate peoples own opinions! i rate them higher than pirrelli id rather replace them for me usein the tread at the end of the day i like driving and i have a Fr for a reason :)
 
worked in tyre industry for 10 year and toyo's are bad good gripping tyre but last no time at all that's why cost pennies

thats reason why no big company selling tyres sells them they are a poor wearing tyre

Just so you know - Kwik Fit, and Farmers both said when i phoned them for Turanzas "I don't know how anyone can afford to sell you them for under £120, how can they even afford to pay their staff"

I got them for £30 cheaper.

I know who not to trust : )
