Guys, Forgive me. I am sure tis has been asked many a time. I would normally search but I have my 9mth old little boy trying to grab my breakfast at the same time. My sisters LCR has Pirelli PZERO Nero's on at present but want to change them. What s the best all round tyre for wear...

Hi Guys and girls. Im going to be changing tyres soon. and am looking at some options. Something confuses me though (not hard I hear you shout) Anyway... What rating should i go for? The current ones i have are Z rated. But the beeza doesnt go faster than 135 mph so do i need a Z? W...

Just been to have 2 fronts fitted. Bought them on BlackCircles.com (excellent) and they were delivered for fitting at a local tyre place which for now I shall not name. They fitted the fronts OK and then I asked for the tracking to be done. Had to pay extra but it needed doing. Whilst it...

Following on from my previous thread about road noise that I thought was down to wheel bearing rumble: http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=149822 I have once again spoken to the dealer who sold me the car who has advised me to get two new rear tyres fitted and to send him the...

Anyone got any decent suggestions re tyre presseure for the Mk4 Ibiza Cupra as its just had new pirellis fitted and the pressures are all over the shop!! Cheers Jimbo

Hi all This is the third time I have noticed this so just wanted to see what peeps general thoughts were. On my LCR I check the tyres every month or so, and each time they are reducing from 33psi to about 28-29psi. I know the LCR is a heavy car and the potholes round me are completely...

Hi' All Sorry if this is in the wrong section but me head is mashed. Can anyone tell me if I can use 205/40/17 tyres on my altea the tyres on now are 225/45/17 and does ET 35 fit. The reason I have posted in the ibiza section is because the alloys are from my old mk4 beezer, They are...

Hi, after doing some research on prices for LCR tyres I thought I would post a few prices that I have found. The website I used to search was www.camskill.co.uk and all tyres are 225/40 R18's with at least a 'W' speed rating. Diamondback 968 £41.00 Enduro 916 £36.00 Federal...

What tyre size should i fit onto a 6J 16 ET38 its replacing a 175/45/R13 I dont intend to lower the ibiza or any modifications to the arches atall. Thanks, Will

The above subject is not something I ever bothered about with other cars, but with the Leon (FR tdi, chipped, though not at the moment to save the clutch) it's a big issue. Front tyres are lasting something like 3 months, 3000 miles or so before getting down to below 1.5mm of thread :( I think...

hi, ive recently just put some new alloy wheels on my formula sport. the standard one's are 16'' with 205/45/16 but the new alloys are 17'' with 205/40/17. You would think that the handling of the car would be the same or even slightly better with 7.5x17 alloys and new tyres (ramdom new premium...

2001 Alhambra 115PD The NSF Tyre has ~3mm tread all over except for about a 60 degree section on the outside edge, that is worn to 'visible tread' only. Any ideas? Also what to replace them with? We live in Aberdeen and get a 'bit' of snow most winters. Thanks AD90

What is the biggest tyre sizes that you can fit without them rubbing with no modificatons? im going for biggest width for best grip rather than largest diameter, i think ill go for a 15" or 16" rim but again i dont know what width, Thanks, Will

Checked my tyres yesterday, 1st time since collecting her in October :rolleyes: Front - 26psi Rear - 22psi Put 29psi in the rears & 31psi in the front as per the fuel cap, blimey is the ride hard now .......... Hope to see an increase in MPG too, but noticed a decrease in grip on...

Had a puncture while out and about yesterday. It's sporting a set of Pirelli PZeros and they have split in a 4 inch gap along the rim, is this normal? Wear on tyres isn't too bad, they've done 13000 miles. Need to get it replaced. I presume I can get away with replacing the front 2 rather...

I definately need two and most likely need four new tyres.. having a little looksie on black circles and there are loads to choose from.. :help:

Hey chaps, All 4 of my tyres are on their way out (fronts especially) I just wanted to check that the tyre wear I'm getting seems normal, as I don't remember it from previous cars. On the fronts at least, the centre part of the tyre is noticable more worn than the sides (by over 1mm I'd...

Took my LCR in for its 20.000 mile service today,,, no probs except he pointed out my front tyres only have 4 mm tread left :-o I have Eagle F1s , and to be honest i have only done roughly 6.000 miles on them . does this seem about right :confused: Funny thing as well i took it to the...
