Rear tyres too cheap?

[thewhangie]

Looking for some new rear tyres to put on, Dunlop SP sport maxx coming in at the cheapest by far. I thought I would be spending at least 200 a corner.

Thought that Dunlop was an ok make, I'm not tracking it and it will not be driven much in the winter. Should I snap these up?

On opineo for £145 each..

Thanks?

I believe on the cv8 the sport maxx are considered a good tyre, ferret uses them after bad experiences with some other brands I think?

Tyre leader can be good on price too, and camskill.

Ive just fitted last month goodyear f1 assymetric 2 and im very impressed , way better than the falkens that were on

I picked em up for less than 250 for the pair from camskill

Ive just fitted Kuhmo KU39s to the back of the 8, £89 each from oponeo. £10 for the local tyre shop to fit them.

The sport maxx are a pretty good tyre (not in the same league as Michelin) but be careful there are a lot of new old stock ones around for some reason & you don't want to be fitting 3-4 year old tyres

I'd go for the MPSS, i had Dunlop Sport Maxx on my Monaro and then changed to MPSS and they are like night & day, the Dunlop ia a good tyre but the MPSS grips so much more

Have you tried tyre leader, seem quite good prices, never tried them myself though.

Just had MPSS put on the back of mine to match the fronts and they really are good! Used them on the Ro and they were good then too. Step above all else out there and people only fit other makes due to the perceived high price.

[VinceM]

Going to need new tyres for mine soon as well, prices looking quite good anyone used Goodyears on a ro?

[maccavvy]

see my last post about f1 assy 2.. impressed with grip and feel... bit too soon for a longevity post.

[007 VXR]

IF, You can afoard them and want the best alround, fit MPSS
Well worth the extra ..........................................

[Rich NI]

Guys pay the extra & fit MPSS as I only put them on the Ro earlier this year & yes they are as good as everybody says.Car handles better,turns in better,grips better & doesn't tilt or roll the same either,its like a different car just should have listened to u guys & fitted sooner.
