Apologies, this will have been done many times before I am sure. I need to get all four Tyres changed as mine are cracked on the side walls.

Currently the size fitted is 205/60/V15, which is what is listed in my TVR Handbook (although it does state low profile, didn't think 60 was low profile?)

I want to get branded, not budget, but then again I don't want to be spending out for the most expensive out there. What is considered the best/right/look Tyre for an S1 please, the following are on my list, then I might be swayed by price laugh

Dunlop Sport Blue Response
BF Goodrich G-Grip
Pirelli P1

I appear to have original wheels, will these take tubeless OK, and what is the right pressure to run them at?

Any suggestions or pointers greatly received.

Thanks,

Andrew.

I have had an Edition 30 Golf GTI and an Audi A5 and they both did have low profiles on, wide tyres and the profile was 35, hence my comment. Wish I was in my twenties, laugh

I only asked about the tubeless as I have had issues with Wolf Wheels on my Land Rover.

Thought it better to ask..........

Thanks for all the comments, all useful in one way or another, aiming to get the Tyres sorted this week if I can.

The Dunlops have been fitted today and all is well, look the part and feel more confident with them on.
26 PSI all round, how does that sound?

Back in August this year I had 4 x Dunlop Blue Response fitted etc at home by Kwik Fit Mobile for a total of £275.96.
At the time that was the cheapest I could find.
