tyre deals at the mo

[bracken88]

Im going down today to get the Hancock K415's. £232 for all 4 balanced and tracked.

Rich, do you have a MK2 Leon? I though the SEAT BBS wheels were MK2 only and if that's so, they won't fit a MK1 Leon without adapters.

Has anyone ever done a comparison between 452's and T1-R's?

Hi Jamjay...yes I have a mk2..I know this is a mk 1 thread but wanted to contribute on the tyre side of things and not so much on the alloys but thought id mention anyway.

 

[JamJay]

Haha that's fine, I just thought I would mention in case you were about to make a huuuge mistake and there was still time to save your bank blance

I have been looking at reviews on the www and the Uniroyal Rainspot 2's and Falken 912's seem to be highly rated. I may have a look into what sort of money they are and compare them? Any advice / reviews?

 

[mjt]

i've heard that the FK452s are the ones to go for, even over the 912s

Anyone knows if falkens 452 - 225/55/16 will fit over standard mk1 leon cupra alloys? :S

 

[J0N]

Depends how you define "budget". I call it good value for money, which my FK452s are. They're good in dry and wet but cheaper than F1s. There's no such thing as good cheap tyres though, no matter how much VFM they seem to give you!

Thats my way of thinking too. I have F1 Assm's all round at the moment and no doubt about it they are fantastic tyres but I use my car everyday and the fronts are getting ready after only 8 months (around 9000 miles) so I've just changed fronts to back. I'm going to try the 452's next because they come recommended by loads of people on here, they're the right price and I'll be able to make a proper, real world comparison.

I won't put anything other than Uniroyal Rainsports on my mapped Ibiza Cupra TDI now. I've tried a few 'Premium' brands and so called budget brands and opted for Rainsports when I was short of cash. The Rainsports outperform Pirelli P-Zero and Bridgestone Potenzas in every area and to top it off they were 2/3 the price of them.

I'm now running 215/40/17 and a pair of Rainsport 2's cost £74 each fitted last year
