quick tyre question - rears

[munky]

Having a mind block - are the rears on a 4 litre 225/50/16 or 225/55/16?

Also has anyone tried Dunlop SP9000s, Goodyear GSD3s and Toyos and knows how they compare? I do drive a lot on motorways in all weathers so need good water dispersal, have the Dunlops on the front and they seem pretty good

ah, will do. Also noticing that Bridgestone S02 seem to be available again - can that be true? on mytyres.co.uk

seconded! Cheap as well at around £65 a piece!

If you go the Falken route make sure you buy the FK452 not any of the other types they do.

Best price for falkens by the way http://www.camskill.co.uk/, I just picked up 4 tyres from them at about £5 each tyre less than buying direct from falken, and shipping is free (unlike falken). They are also cheaper than any other online retailer I could find (and I checked one hell of a lot of them). And they arrive in only 2 days !

Have certainly heard good things. Interesting review here:

Just a shame that Goodyear F1 Asymmetric and Michelin Pilot Sport don't seem to be available in TVR sizes.

I think the update to that review says it all. They had the pressure too low. Its the same on the chim , you need to add a few PSi to make them work well.

IMO Toyo T1R are the best all rounder for the rears, SP9000 a tad easier to wheel spin, ie better grip to get the power down on the Toyo.

ordered Goodyear GSD3s in the end, they seem to get good comments on here and were rated higher than toyo T1R on a couple of review websites I looked at.

thanks for the comments!
