Best deals on tyres?
« on: February 27, 2009, 09:06:00 pm »
Looking for a pair of Michelins (Pilot2s?) for the fronts on my Ed30. (225/40/18 I think)

Anyone seen any deals around?

as above spot on service but what i do is get a price from them and do with fitting in your area and just ring the grg up and see if they can beat the price lol if not just order from blackcircles and still get them to fit lol

Why ps2's?  They are quite old and review pretty badly in all the tyre tests?

car manufacturers just put on whatever tyres are cheapest at the time.  Get some Goodyear assys or vredestein sessantas.  They are getting all the best feedback and reviews at the moment.

  Goodyear Assymetrics are definitely the way ahead dude :happy2:. Brilliant grip in dry and especially good in the wet. :driver:

I went for conti 3's when replacing my fronts and really like them. IMO the best tyre in the dry apart from semi slicks ie r888s are yokohama parada spec 2's. Had these on a few of my cars and they are awesome in the dry. Slightly less grip in the wet than the conti 3's though.

I agree Cams kill are excellent...they've got deals on Goodyear Assymetrics...ran them before on my old car...excellent wet and dry.

On Dunlop Sport Max tyres fitted new at the stealers....seem very good too.

Bathwick and Micheldever tyres are excellent for high performance tyres.
