tyre advice

Time for tyes

I have OZ motorsport rims and currently have Yoko A048s. I want to replace them with something a bit more road useable. I think the sizes are: F: 195/55/16 R: 225/45/17.

I know people rate the Toyos but my local chaps can't seem to get them. What about Dunlop SP9000? I'm told they aren't available in the front sizes though.

Fed up with tyres - the only good thing about owning a banger is that you dont have to care which tyres are going on!

Thanks

Can you get BF Goodrich Profilers in the correct sizes at your local place?

I haven't used them myself but they've been getting great reviews on the forums.

I'd stick with the AO48's. Summers just around the corner.

Look at geting some more sensible ones in time for next winter.

dunlops are poor. get a bad write up in tyre tests. likewise, I wouldn't want Goodrichs myself.

for a road tyre, less extreme than the yoko, can you not get a goodyear that'll fit? think i've heard of Eagle F1s being used?

I would stick with A048s but I'm looking at selling soon and £600 a set won't be recouped - I also seem to get through them pretty quickly.

Not too fussed about general tyre tests/reviews to be honest as the Elise seems to be affected differently to the heavier cars used in tests - quite a few S2 owners have recommended the Dunlop SP9000s - but obviously don't have motorsport wheels

Looks like it might be toyos - but no trade rate available for those Need some ideally before seeing Walshy on the 19th as well
