    Egg shaped tyres!

    Hi guys, Just thought i'd run this past you all, I have just started hearing a low rumble between 20-30 mph that speeds up with car speed almost gone by 50-60 , sounds like a loose or flat tyre is the only way I can explain it, no movement through steering wheel. Took the car to local...
  2. What The BEST 'All Round' Tyres

    I'm looking to replace the two 225/40/18's on the front of my FR170 Tdi. I'm not driving it 'balls out' all the time, and I would only class my driving style in this car to be gentle with the odd 'spirited' 5 mins. The car does a quite a few miles up and down the motorway (for work use) and I...
  3. OE Tyres?

    I'm sure 'what tyres should I buy' has been done to death- it has on most forums! Anyway, My Leon's front tyres are some pikey crap at the moment, and thankfully the fronts are due for replacement. So, as a starting point, rather than asking what I should buy, what would the car have come...

    K1 inside of front tyres worn already!

    I just got my k1 back from its first service (11500 miles) and one of the advisories was that the front tyres are both worn on the inside down to 3.5mm, i am currently running on the standard cupra bridgestone 18 inch tyres, what tyres are good to get? how much do they cost? and where is the...
  5. Winter V all Weather tyres

    Finally got my 16in alloys to replace my summer 18's, just wondering is it better to go for full winters in our climate or all weather.
  6. K1 tyres help

    Just had my front wheel off painting the so common rusty wheel hubs and noticed my frony tyres are about shot. The cae has done 12800 miles of which 7000 is by me and my wife. Was abit shocked they had gone so quick as 80% of our driving is round town, only gets pushed hard when i get chance...

    Track day tyres

    I'm picking up a set of Seat Sport OZ Super T's over the weekend (Cupra R wheels) which I intend to use purely as track wheels. Question is, which tyres do I go for purely for track use? With a 205/45/16 tyre, I've read that the Toyo R888s aren't a wise move as they're only available in...

  10. Spare tyres size

    Hi, I was cleaning out the boot of my Ibiza and realised that the spare tyres size if 175. I am sure the sales brochure stated it was a full size, which I would have assumed would be 215, am I missing something here? Cheers

  12. Tyres

    Right, so it's 4 new tyres time. After looking at the options, and previous threads, i contacted "blackcricles". I asked their advice and a very helpful (and clued up) young fella ran me through all the most popular options (toyo, p-zero etc etc) and helped me make a choice. He told me to steer...

  16. Slip sliding away - is it just my tyres?

    Coming from a scooby with Goodyear Eagle F1's I was used to stunning traction wet or dry. However, yesterday in my LCR the roads were pretty wet and round a few roundabouts, where I was taking it quite easy as I'm still getting used to the car and just being careful, I had some very noticeable...

    Track tyres

    Looking into these but am lacking in knowledge on sizes and fitments TBH. Initially looking at Toyo R888 mediums, now these don't come in 225-40-18 but do come in 235-40-18's. Yokohama Paradas come in 225-40-8 but the AVS sport come in 235-40-18 Has anyone fitted these to their OEM LCR...
