tyres

I drive pretty easy really with just one or two moments thrown in ;) but i never scream of the line with the tyres smoking. My FR Tdi hits 2 years old in march and with less than 7k on the clock :blink: (yeah i know) but my P Zeros look already half worn :doh: and at this rate i will be...

Hi, I need to replace my front tyres on my '05 PD130 1.9TDi FR and want some advice. I currently have Pirelli's P-Zero Nero's on the rear and wanted to know what people thought of them; wet, dry and durability. Any advice would be good as I've just bought the car and it will be the first...

hi i need a new set of tyres for my leon which are the best for this car for grip and life and any places in south wales where i could get them from

Morning folks.. Two questions.. I have a bald rear tyre that needs replacing fairly urgently but the other rear tyre is fine. Now do I just replace the one worn out tyre or should I fork out for a matching set? - i'm also concerned about the difference in wear on the rear tyres as it's a...

I have a 2005 Leon FR done 30,000 miles, that's currently stuck in snow outside our house thats at the bottom of a hill! Looking at the threads, my fronts are worn down to almost no grip in one area Which tyres do you recommend thats got good traction and grip esp. in wet and good...

My Freetrack is fitted with Pirelli Pzero Rosso's which are predominatly road tyres, can anyone suggest an alternative?

With all this talk about how rubbish the LCR is on snow, especially with most (summer) tyres, I was wondering what solutions people have gone for. The way I see it, there are a few solutions, including another set of LCR alloys (if you want to stick to the OE look) with winter tyres on, and...

Afternoon all. Here is the lowdown on the car and what mileage etc I do. 53plate Leon Tdi Cupra. Standard Suspension 225/45/17 Starfish alloys I do between 400 and 600 miles a month. 60% motorway, 40% A roads/B roads. I am after something that will give good longevity as...

Tuesday morning i drove to Heathrow and i noticed that when i got to around 50mph in 6th gear i attempted to accelerate to 70mph but my traction...

Good evening, Has anyone come across these tyres and used them? If so I would be interested in opinions. Can't seem to find out much about them on internet apart from link to Delta Tyres (USA/Canada) and belvieve them to be a private brand tyre made in Japan. I can't find any reviews...

After today's "fun" on compoacted snow, I'm strongly considering a set of scabby alloys or steels and winter tyres. Anyone know the correct part number for steels? I have 17" alloys at the moment, but would probably get 16" steels (from a lower model or a Golf etc?). I take it I'd have no...

As per title, Going for new rubber all round, only ever run budget so looking to get something that will keep me safe, Max budget for four is £300 but would like to try be lower. Been looking at Toyo T1R's or Prada Spec 2 but want something that will keep grip in all conditions...

Which tyres come with the 17" Alloys? What are they like? Any one got any ideas how many miles they're good for and how they perform?

Good evening. Just after opinions/experiences of using "runway" tyres all round on a 52 plate Leon Cupra (tyre size 225/40/18). Cheers, Janners.

...But please bear with me. I need new tyres, and looking on Blackcircles.com, they have Yokohama S306s in my size. Now, these are amongst the cheapest, and I've had Yokohamas on a previous car, so these are the preferred option. However, the load thingie is 94 rather than 91, and they are...

With the current inclement weather we are currently experiencing, does anyone know who sells basic steel wheels for the Leon ? wheel size is 16", don't have the foggiest of the offset. Looking at possibly buying some winter tyres. TIA

Well bought these last night as i am sick of killing exspensive tyres,due to the car being so low http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190356177347. I will keep a eye on them to see if there anygood as a cheaper tyre option.

Just been down to my local Kwik-fit and they are offering to fill tyres with Nitrogen for £1 each tyre. Just wondering if anyone has done this and if it makes any difference to performance or tyre life.
