Tyre Advice.

[jaybee747]

Had a little search, but found nothing recent.
What tyres does everyone prefer at the moment? Just had MOT on mine and been advised on all 4 tyres. It has SO2's on but searching the interweb doesn't come up with any front fitment. It's a 97 4 ltr. Any advice or info would be gratefully recieved.

Thanks Jaybee

P.S.Might not answer till later tommorow as I'm off to a new pub launch.

Dunlop SP9000 on the front, Falken FK452 on the back. Works for me

Why have you decided to go for different tyres front and back? I know the Falken FK452's are good, i have them on my BM.

Dunlop SP9000 all round

There's not much else in the way of high performance tyres out there for the fronts in an appropriate speed rating, but the SP9000s are getting on a bit. I'm in the same boat - put 205/55 ZR15 SP9000s on the front recently, but will have a shop around for the rears as the current Vredestein Ultracs have little over 3 mm tread left on them. Still unsure what to do - budget not a consideration really (they're only 225/55/16s anyway), I just want the most optimal solution for the OE wheels.

Only Dunlop SP9000 and toyos (not sure which one) are available in the right size and speed rating for the front. As I use my car in all weathers I didnt go for the toyos as they are more of a track day/dry weather tyre (I believe dont flame me !)

Hi
I have a pair of S0-3 225-50-ZR-16 that came on a set of Spyders i bought. They look like new and have 6mm to 6.5mm of tread left. I would like £100 for the pair if they are of any interest to you.
Pic's below fingers crossed i can remember how to do it.





PS the spyders are for sale also.

Well they certainly make them in the right size for the fronts, replace mine 4 weeks ago. Maybe they dont make them in the right size for the rears.

Here you are Daz, nice and shiney.

[Uncle Fester]

Get a new set of wheel's like I just did.

The bigger fronts mean wider choice in the right speed rating.

Then, like me, you will have a set of wheel's for sale.
