What tyre you recommend for factory 17 alloy
« on: July 09, 2014, 02:13:11 am »
I am thinking to replace the existing continental contact 2 tyres with something at same or better quality but don't want to spend too much.

What brands and types do you recommend ?

Is it worth to buy second hand tyres or better get them new ?

Thanks

Buy new,

Michelin pilot sport 3
Goodyear eagle F1
Pirelli P Zero
Vredestein sessanatas
Uniroyal RS2

All good tyres. Goodyear & Michelin probably the most popular but also most expensive.

The Michelin Pilot Sport 3 is a really excellent tyre but I have just ordered a set of Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymetric 2 as they get comparable reviews to the Michelin and were £76 each for 94Y XL as opposed to about £95 for the Michelin. Here's the link if you're interested: http://www.camskill.co.uk/m54b0s16p109613/Goodyear_Tyres_Car_Goodyear_Eagle_F1_Asymmetric_2_-_225_45_R17_94Y_XL_FP_TL_Fuel_Eff_%3A_C_Wet_Grip%3A_A_NoiseClass%3A_1_Noise%3A_69dB

I've had my Goodyear's on for around 3 months now. Paid £385 for all four corners to be done and i can honestly say they are spot on both wet and dry road.

Lucky you guys in UK . In NZ it's a rip off at massive scale for everything. Almost £150 per tyre ...

I keep looking for F1 . Does it come in different variation ? I'm looking for something with good handling and low noise

What about Bridgestone sporty style my02 or  Potenza Re002? Are these any good ?

What's the difference between directional and asymmetric in terms of driving and comfort ?
