What brand tires ?

[Razor]

Just a simple question really..
What would you all recommend ?

At the minute I have some yoks on the rear and fronts are budgets.
They need replacing however, so Im just going to get 4 new


Standard mk3 cupra wheels !!



Thanks

I'd reccomend goodyear eagle F1s as i have many times before mate

Kumho Ecsta KH11 is what I have I think (I'll double check the exact model of them tomorrow) £94 for 2. They're at the budget end of the scale, but pretty damn good. Far better than the crap that was on before, which I belive caused the little bump I had!!!

Wow, that bad eh? what did you have on before?
Total 1.4 thread this one like.

I don't actually remember what they were, but I googled them at the time I bought the wheels (they came on the wheels) and couldn't find anything about who made them, says it all really.

To be fair they were getting low on tread, but still above 1.6mm, in the wet they were completly useless.

just last week i put 4 brand new toyo proxes T1R's, got them off camskill, think they were about 46 quid delivery, came next day aswell there absolutely mint, theyve got soo much grip and the tread patterns good for clearing water away, id highly recommend them!

T1R's or the Eagle F1's all day for me

 

[Ricardo_Smooth]

yoko parada spec 2's for me, not fantastic in the wet but good enough and i don't go flying round in the wet anyway (that weould be stupid) so they suit me

 

[Dan1.6]

anything except avon zv3s dude maybe some toyo proxy they wern't bad

 

[Razor]

cheers for the ideas guys.
will prob go for T1R's

I've always had Eagle F1's on the KO3s. Still managed to spin alot

 

[Adam R]

P Zero Nero's. great tyre, good wear and great grip

I've got F1's on a 1.4 like yours Razor, they are Impossible to spin in the dry and difficult in the wet.

 

[Ibiza125]

F1s are by far the best 'tyre' I have used.

 

[artemis_1991]

F1s are by far the best 'tyre' I have used.

Amen.
But 'Tyre' as apposed to a tire....?

 

[bobak]

Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3 here. have had Yokos before, sticky but wore fast. Considered Proxies but heard they wear fast too. Whilst some tyres might be great in the dry, you gotta remember - you live in England (probably) - so get good wet tyres - hence the Eagles

 

[turbo009]

f1's i would personally go for Good for wet and try

 

[dubroots125]

i need to replace the two fronts on my new cupra wheels im gunna put on my 1.4s,

the guy i bought the wheels on said he bought two new tyres for 180 each about a month before but the other 2 are pretty worn, the thing is do i really need to spend alot of money on 2 tyres for a 1.4?? would it be worth it as im not getting any performance anyway its more just a smart looking car than a speed machine,

wot would people recomend on a very low budget??

 

[markmeus]

Doesn't matter how slow a car is, decent tyres are a must! They're the only thing between you and the road!!!

I always budget for about £50 a tyre.

The more you spend, the more likely your car will stay on the road.

£50 per tyre is cheap!!! i normally budget double that
