TVR Cerbera tyres

[mwag]

I am on the 18 inch spider wheels 225/35 front, 255/35 rear and need to replace all four tyres. Lots of conflicting advice out there and much of it out of date with changing suppliers etc. Welcome thoughts. Being told Bridgestone Potenzas too hard, being steered towards Pirelli PZero or Michelin Sport 4. Last set were Toyo Proxes T1R front and Bridgestone Potenza RE040 rear - have to say never been that happy with the rears, but always hard to compare in reality until you commit to the next tyre! My use is all road, not track, mostly summer (when we eventually get one). Thanks.

P Zeros are crap.

PS4 is one of the best road tyres going.

Never liked Bridgestone or pirellis, both feel underwhelming.

I've just stuck some eagle f1s on, I forgot how confident they feel. Really liking them.

Thanks - seems can’t get PS4 for the fronts. F1s are a thought and available in both.

You can get the Michelin Pilot Super Sport in the correct sizes, these are the predecessor to the Pilot Sport 4s. These are the tyres I will opt for next, I have most of the rest of the Michelin range on my other cars with great success.

F1's are very good too. A bit softer.

This is what I opted last time, I’d say they’re the best tyres available in 225/35/18 and 255/35/18.

I went for Goodyear F1s all round. Thanks for the responses, much appreciated.

Here's another vote for Michelin....

It seems summer has arrived at last

I'll have to pop down to check out your Goodyear Eagle F1

Last time I fitted Goodyear Eagle was 1987, I guess things may have moved on since then

You need to try it on track one day, as it will help find any weak spots PDQ

Do you have a day booked for the Tamora yet?

On a bit of a run of track days. Castle Combe (Richard’s day) Friday before last, Goodwood on Wednesday and then I am back there for an EVO day on Tuesday. Feel free to drop by! Still a few teething issues but we’ll sort them.

I am running 18 inch spiders with Federal 595 RS-Rs in 225 40ZR18 88W and 255 35ZR18 90W. Tyres were on the car when I bought it but it seems a bit odd with different profiles front and back.
I’m no expert on tyres and haven’t done a track day in it so have nothing to compare but they seem ok on the road.

Cheers

Keep an eye on those tyres, they are known for splitting.
