Anyone recommend any tyres for CTR? Only had the bloody thing four months and I've eaten my first set!

What are Avon ZZ1's like, they seem a reasonable price?

Thanks in advance for any advice

Hey Foggy, Good little review.

I've always wondered what hardcore Intgegra drivers would think of the CTR.

Had mine since December. Picked it up from Dartford off the ferry (imported) and drove up to Stoke getting about 38mpg for a steady run. The next few tank fulls only gave me about 24mpg (horrified) and only doing about 3-4000revs!!

Must have been something to do with running in as I'm getting about 30ish mpg now. My fuel warning light comes on worryingly early so I fill up only to find that there's about 20litres still left in the tank but I'm not keen on 'Russian Roulette' with my fuel so I fill up anyway.

Agree with you on the torque, haven't driven an Integra but from what I hear you have to sound like a hooligan to get it going.

Many thanks for the comments on tyres, guys. I may go for Avon or Toyo as they look good value for money. Bridgestones seem a tad expensive and the ones the car comes with keep giving out at the rear on wet roundabouts without much provocation

All the best

Thanks brocolli

I've tried getting onto the topgear tyre site but what I'm typing in isn't being recognised. Am I spelling it right?

Cheers
