Exige Tyre Size?

[TonyHetherington]

Hi all

Dumb question but I just wanted to be absolutely 100% sure; the S2 exige tyre sizes are...

225/45/17 and 195/50/16, is that correct?

I dont have the car with me and want to get some new tyres ordered ready for my big hoon in september! (current ones won't last 3k miles!)

Got R888s on at the moment and only replacing the rears so sticking with the R888. Blackcircle.com (PH sponsors) seem good at £303 delivered for the 2 rears - anyone else got any thoughts on where to go?

Thanks
Tony

Flippin heck - thank you so much!!! £252 delivered for 2 rears. That is unbelievable good value!! Got a quote for the fronts too - 89 each delivered.

Can't believe that - very good price indeed. I've bought right away!!

Thanks again

What brand of tyre were those ?

Do you get more miles from Toyo R888 or Yoko AO48's?

I know it depends on driving style alot, but on average which has the harder compound and deeper tread?

I've just swapped to 888's on the rear and intend to do the same on the fronts soon'ish. My understanding being that they a) clear water a little bit better and b) last longer. They are also cheaper so seems like a sensible choice.
