New tyres needed on cupra !!!!

[Deleted member 65851]

Hi guys
Right all 4 tyres need replacing soon cars on 30k now and all 4 are near the limiters!
The pirellis are great for grip in dry but crap in wet plus the drowning noise puts me off!
What ever I go for they've got to have a sexy side wall!
Something which tyre shine applys to and stays on !!!!!
Can't stand Side walks that have big patchy graphs on them like the continentals!

I've always used fallen fk452 tyres on my last 4-5 cars when changing and the only thing that's putting me off changing to them Is when I come to sell and if there going to be as good as the pirellis!

What's everyone else using and any pics of your side walls would be great to see what they will look like on the wheels

Avon's have very sinple/plane sidewalls, not sure if this is sexy to you, but 3M tyre shine stick to them. . .

Michelin sporty pilots have a good sidewall with the logo and chequered flag.

looks win!

Bridgestone potenza 050a, 225/40 18 92y, just bought a pair for my cupra, standard fitment on my car and the side wall protrudes to save the alloy from scuffs.......... £280 the pair..

I have to agree Mate. I like the standard fitment potenza RO50A tyres. I know some say that they are not brilliant but I prefer them to the Goodyear assyms I had on my mk1 LCR....
As for tyre shine, mine last about 2 weeks with some tyre gel stuff I use.

No pics sorry.

Count my tyres out then - love my continentals!

I've also heard that tyre dressing gel's work qite well - last a bit longer than some of the simple sprays that you can get.
