Harllequin Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Keancy gave me a jog of the memory for this thread. I'd have put up a poll of what we have to choose from, but I thought I'd start with this first. Can you guys give a car, front and rear tyre size, what make and how what you think about them. 1. Harllequin - (TT) Rear 245/50 R16 Nankang EX-500, Front 225/50 R16 Nankang EX-500. Very Bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjy Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 2. Ben SZ-R - (N/A) Front and Rear 245/35/R18 Wanli Ditchfinders - Hopefully to be replaced soon with some 20's with top branded tyres (sizes unknown but probably a rubber band profile) if the arches will allow with some minor manipulation. :-D The name Wanli and Ditchfinder probably illustrates the quality of the tyres! pretty scary sometimes!

Supra-Brett Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 235/35/19s front Michelin Pilot Sports (seem good plently of grip) 295/35/19s Rear Michelin Pilot Sports (grip in dry is fine, but i think they re too wide for my alloy as a 265 or 275 would suit a 9.5inch rim better ,and basically handling is crap because of this (i think) and in the wet back end is loose.

Kopite Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Kopite: Goodyear F1s, 245/40/18 and 275/35/18, loads of grip wet and dry Don't forget it's not all about tyres, suspension and geo set up comes in to it too as does having decent offsets on the wheels and a up to scratch LSD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bossco Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Front - Potenza SE03 235 40 ZR18 Rear - Potenza SE03 265 35 ZR18 I used to run the RE05's and thought they were great until the day they loose grip. I used to get 10/11 months of excelent grip then out of nowhere they would become useless. I never seemed to notice them wearing down. loads of grip one day and non the next. So far so good with the SE03's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far so good with the SE03's. i have heard of this before tyres that go "off" is it an ageing thing or heat related ? how do the SEO3's compare price wise and how long have you had them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
