I need 2 front tyres for my leon fr tdi pretty soon and i need some opinions on which ones to buy. Im running pirelli p-zero tyres atm, these are good but expensive, i want something abit cheaper. Can anyone recommend any?

If you go on blackcircles.com you can get p zero rosso's fitted for £116.40 each or i noticed on an fr in a dealership khumo tyre's and you can get khumo ku31's for £95 each fitted but i dont know how good the khumo's are maybe someone else can reply on that.

Falken 452's for me - £170 pair fitted and balanced - great so far

So many choices, I really don't know where to go!

I had Pirelli P Zero's on my Accord Type R and they were rubbish, then replaced them with Goodyear Eagles which were awesome, coped with the FWD power very well, so might go for them.

i have a full set of eagle f1 assymetrics since monday. Great tyre, best i've had so far. Loads of grip wet or dry. 119.95 each from farmerautocare, but the was a price match. i found best prices on mytyres.co.uk

Not had them long but they are a harder compound than the pirelli's so will last longer - I had the P Zeros - had to change them every 5 minutes!!!

Falken 452:
Treadwear Rating: 300.
Traction Rating: AA.
Temperature Rating: A

Think the Pirelli has a Treadwear Rating of 200

Are they the tyres with the rim lip protection?? Awesome tyres. I had them on my saxo. Saved my rims 1000x!!!! And handled the nuts.!! Very good tyre!!

Just gone for 2 Falken 452's

Was gonna buy the Sessnas but these are about 25 pound cheaper per tyre and are recommended on here also.

I was gonna buy 2 a few days ago, gutted I never now as my left front tyre has puntchured and is unrepairable.

So here I am driving round on the spare glad its the weekend where I wont need do much driving.

I will have to do 40 miles on Monday maybe Tuesday under 50mph should I be ok?

How quick do camskill deliver ordered about a hour ago.

Falkens 452's - had mine on a couple of thousand miles and really impressed with the grip levels.
