best budget tyre for rear?

[AdamRoutley]

as the name states...looking for a new tyre for the rear cus its just had a very large screw pulled out of it and gone straight down.

budget tyre i hear you ask?? is because im going abroad in a couple of weeks and cant afford to get a proper one until after

Marshal matrac tyres are around the 50 quid mark, They are actually decent tyres but under the cheaper banner of marshal and not kumho.

Personally i wouldn't fit budget tyres, probably not what you want to hear...

But having had some, they were shite in the wet,

If you have the std 16in on yer 20vt i'd suggest you have a look at mytyres, there are some really cheap (goodride) ones there less than £30, dunno what there like for grip etc... etc but if you want cheap, don't be tempted to go down your local tyre place cos what they seem to offer as "cheap" isn't in my experience...

Premium set of tyres that you can pick up quite cheaply for 16s if you have them is falken 452's. Fastly become a forum favourite.

Funnily enough I "almost" suggested those myself, having bought 4 myself recently, but their not really budget at £52.00 i didnt think

but don't make the mistake of buying falken ZE512's, possibly the worst tyre i've ever used

 

[AdamRoutley]

just to clear things up...iv got an FR petrol, so there 17's...sorry for the confusion...any more suggestions?

Part worn tyre places stock good brands at reasonable prices.

If it happened to me, thats where I'd go.

 

[POWELLY]

go on mytyres.co.uk and try the Nankang NS2 there a good value for money tyre about £62 for a 225/40/18

Use the spare for a couple of weeks, buy some tyre weld just in case, then buy a decent tyre after you get back..

Seems like a waste of £50 on a tyre your already admitting isn't really any good

I would not fit budget tyres. Especialy to the rear (if u like to drive hard). But it u have to you have to.

Ring Mk tyres and ask there advice. They do do it for a living

Personaly i go to Linslade Tyres becasue the guy who owns the place it the most helpfull bloke i know

 

[Steffie]

Where abouts are you based?

As i work at my dads breakers yard and we sell and fit part worn tyres.

tyres

i went for the eagle f1 gds tyres. i moved the rear ones to the fronts as they were being replaced. if you have a half decent car, why be tight on tyres? obviously there are more expensive ones out there

 

[AdamRoutley]

im not tight with my car, as i already have the goodyears on the fronts and the rears are still alright. and the reason iv gone budget is because of the forthcoming holiday which i mentioned in the first post.

Is the spare full size?
What are the sizes of a tyre on your car mate?

 

[AdamRoutley]

already sorted my mate...£52 fully fitted from "Mr Tyre" and i must say their service was impecible, unlike quik-fit who marks my alloys before. think its called a alpha or something similar...both rears will be changed when i return from my travels.

btw..spare is a 16 and slightly narrower, but not a "biscuit wheel" and my tyre sizes are 225/45/17w

 

[LCR PON]

Falken 452's

 

[DANNY H]

Hankook Ventus Sports, can get then for about £72 for the 18's on my R. Nice tread pattern

 

[justin_cupra]

Falken 452's are good

 

[1981whips]
