tyres

ok, so i know there are loads of threads on the subject of 17's and lowering, but I've done a search and its left me a bit unsure! Picking up some 17's tomorrow (leon starsfish :D) and will be needing to change the tyres on them. I intend to the lower the car on springs and shocks, say -35mmm...

What are peoples thoughts on the above and if you've owned more than one of them, which was better and why? Road noise, grip in dry and in wet...stuff like that :) Toyos and Uniroyal can be had for £340 fitted, the Goodyears are £370 fitted... Let me know :)

just been looking for a good price on some pirelli rosso tyres and have seen the option to have them filled with nitrogen??? I have never seen this before. Apparantley it improves liife of the tyre. . Has anyone had this? Any views on this? Thanks chris

Hi Can anyone please tell me if they have fitted Toyo T1R tyres to the leon cupra tdi. Are they any good? If not, what tyres are good. My front tyres are starting to ressemble slicks now so any advice would be much appreciated. Also, was thinking of plugging in a TDi tuning box, approx £80...

Right, I need to replace all 4 tyres on my Mk1 TDi FR, existing Khumos & Michelins are f*cked & also now seem to be shaped like 50pence pieces! I've pretty much decided to go for either the uniroyal Rainsport 2's or the Sessanta's. I would be interested to hear any opinions on either tyre &...

Went to fit my R888's this afternoon, placed them upto the front hubs and the tyre is sitting on my coilover! [:@] Went to get a 3mm spacer and guess what isn't enough :censored: So once I accepted that I wasn't getting the front wheels on I went to try the rear to find that the wheel...

Just wondering what tyres people have on there cupra r and what you would recommend? I have had Falken FK452 - good tyre but changing every 10K (20k a year driving) - on a tight budget (ish) and need a tyre that will last longer Has anyone brought used tyres or tyres from ebay - searched...

Has anyone used Hankook RS2 tyres, any comments? Im considering these as Toyo R1R is so bloody expensive and I think these might be stickier then the forum favourite Eagle F1 assy's. Any other good tyre alternative to have great dry straight line traction?

Hey folks just wondering if anyone can help i bought 2 new tyres a couple of months ago from a website called tyre traders they are toyo proxes t1r 225/40/18 but just been on the website to order another 2 and they don't seem to have them now :( Im just wondering if anyone knows anywhere else...

As above looking at good everyday tyres. I currently have pirelli p-zero rossos. But I will have to change soon I think. Looking for opinions. I won't be going on a track anytime soon but like a twisty road run! Yokohama spec 2's are well priced but are they going to be too soft for...

Hi Folks, I've just been reading the thread about everyday tyres and what people tend to choose. But.. What about the most suitable tyre for weekend use / track use? I'm lucky enough that I have a company car as well as my LCR, so the Leon only gets used at weekends, and on trackdays /...

what would be a good set of tyres for normal day use ?

Right i dont know if this is in the right section but here it is, ive been looking into tyre streching as i would like to do this to my leon and what i have found so far is not good :( i just wondered if there was anyone on here with streched tyres and tell me what you think, and give me the...

The Mk4 diesel is wracking up the miles and as such could do with some new rubber. Any one have any suggestions as to which tyres to go for? Must have good grip and longevity, not really limited on price but must be good value for money. Have Firestone Firehawk on at the moment i think.

Hi folks i own a mk4 ibiza the tyres that are on my car just now are 205/45/16 i need new tyres and i have been offered 4 tyres 3 are brigdestone and 1 is continental and the size is 205/50/16 will these be ok? if the side walls are 5ml bigger? from the tyres that are on my car...

Hi folks, got a 2007 Ibiza Cupra TDi with standard 17's and will be needing a new set of tyres all round in the not too distant future so.......WHAT YA GOT?! Was also thinking of 215's as opposed to 205's to get a bit more on the road and to try and cut down on some of the road noise, any...

OK, so what tyres are people using for their cars making over 300bhp? I need better tyres, but they have to be able to cope with the odd trackday and 1/4 mile as well. I'm interested in the Yokohama Parada's but I hear they are pants in the wet? I've had Hankook RS2's before and they were...

Just got the Cupra back from the garage and she's all mended:D They have replaced one of the alloys and tyres, so including my spare I have 2 x brand new P-Zero tyres and 3 x fairly worn P-Zeros that ideally need replacing. I'm looking at getting 2 x Toyo's and leaving the best partly worn...
