Recommend some good tyres on a budget?

[Fizzy T]

Hi guys, It's that time again when I need to replace tyres. The last time I put on new rubber it was because I'd bought new wheels off ebay and the rubber was better than what I had on previously so didn't have to spend out any more.

 

I'd like some decent tyres for £200-250 max, noticed these on ebay though so has anyone tried Maxxis tyres?

Some research even has some of the US Supra owners buying these saying they are good but apparently they are piss poor in the wet

Usually I would buy the best spec tyres I could afford but I'm on a budget at the moment as it's Xmas.

My Maxxis MA-Z1's are the absolute nuts!!

 

Edit: Achillies may aswell be renamed "Ditchfinder Die-Youngs". I can get a brand new 275/30/20 for £49!!!!!

Yeah I wouldn't buy the Achillies but damn...cheap for the size haha Looks like I'll go for the Maxxis.

 

Cheers for the reply

Is that £250 for 2 or 4 tyres ?

[Fizzy T]

I only need rears 255 or 265/40/17, obviously the less I pay the better I eat for the remainder of the year.

Surely you could get a better brand for that money. I got Falkens and more recently Vreds for that kind of money. I must admit that the Vreds were last year and they have shot up in price.

 

Always worth a shop around, not just on the net.

Avon zz3's £96 each Vredesteins sessanta £117 each

Falkens I found to be good, but I bought a Focus with Vreds on and they were awful. Like, scarily bad. Still cannot fault these MA-Z1's.

[Benjy]

Again, Avons were ok.

I had the zz3's on the front of my supra and fitted a set on my business

partners daily driver, he loves them and i thought they were pretty good

for the money.

 

I've not had the vredesteins on anything but thought lots of members on

here raved about them.

I also highly recommend Oponeo. I'm running Kumho's and am very impressed with them for the money.

 

My rears are http://www.oponeo.co.uk/tyre-details/kumho-ku31-275-35-r18-95-y#46463389 and as you can see they are a good price.

Never heard any complaints about Vreds. I have them on the rear of the Supra and they are immense compared to the Falkens I had on in the first couple of years. I had Khumos on the Audi and they were good. Only 143 Hp, but they still gripped well.

I normally buy Hankook ventus V12's, they are about £135 delivered from the site I previously mentioned.

I rate the Vred Sessanta's they are great in the wet and great vfm overall.

Go for the kumho ku39. One off the best tyres ive ever used. And ive gone through conti sc5, michelin ss2, pirelli p zero, falken 453, vredestein, toyo t1r etc etc ive tried them all. And my top 2 so far michelin or kumho ku39. Its a class 'A' rated tyre. I read alot off the guys in M3's and porsche's use them on the ring.

I run on Achilles on my track skyline, when not slicks or r-tires are allowed. And they are amazingly good!! Unbeatable price as well.
