Which new tyres?

[Fin]

I am looking to buy four new tyres for the Teg. I don't want anything too cheap or anything mega expensive either.

What would you guys recommend.

Cheers Paisano's!

Bridgestone Potenza RE 070's mate, all they way, best out there for road and track combined IMHO! About £80 off www.tyretraders.co.uk .com?

I'm a fan of Toyos and currently running their new Toyo Proxes4. Can't fault them at moment. £75 a tyre delivered next day from ebay.

Are Potenza RE070's available in the UK? Didn't think they were . . . :?:

Also there may be some issues with 225 rubbing the inner arch. Strangely enough the is the ONLY 070 that camskill have.

Do you find the Bridgestone to be a rough ride?

What are RE07 like in the wet?

Eagle F1 GSD3s. Best all round tyre for the Teg I've used.

Yep and a good price at about £80 each.

I have the RE050's at the moment, I'm very happy with them, a good alrounder at about £88 each i think i paid.

I'm Running RE070s aswell, awesome all round tyre, great in dry,wet and track, still have quite a stiff sidewall so gives positive feedback and they look cool to

Fitted they are yes, but worth the money imo

Autobild magazine recently carried out a test in Germany of our specific size and rating 91Y on a Corsa HPC (same as VXR) and their results in order were:

Goodyear F1 Asymmetrical - glowing report - (not yet available in UK, due to run out stocks of F1 GDS3, but now listed by MyTyres @ £105 excl fitting)
Hankook K110 - Evo V12 - just fitted - paid £85.50.
Pirelli P Zero nero
Dunlop SP Sport Maxx
Kumho Ecsta KU 19
Continental Sportcontact 3
Michelin Pilot Exalto 2
Nokian NRY
Toyo Proxes T1-R
Marangoni Mythos
Yokohama S Drive (Equal best in dry - but as so often seems to be the case, poor in the wet -)

Just had Goodyear F1 Assymetricals fitted up front.

Run them in and gave them a boot. Cannot fault them whatsoever.

Much better than the Avon ZZ3's which were on there before and better than the T1R's I used to run on my old DC2 and my old S2000.

£105 each fitted.
