tyres

This car (Leon fr tdi 150, chipped) is the worst I've ever own for tyre wear. I've only done 6-7k miles, if that, on the current set since fitting last year and they're done, bald, illegal, all four. It's been the highest cost consumable on the car by far, but at least I've only gone through one...

just a quick one regards to all the bad weather breaking cars and stuff can anyone recommend any good tyres with good traction for 18s as with the remap on my seat cupra its bad enough trying to get traction in the dry but with the ice i can barely pull off when the lights are on green and by...

Calm down search button police, I've already had a look (albeit a quick one) but I'm still not quite sure which ones to go for. Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric seem to be the general tyre of choice but I'm also seeing good reports on Falken 452's which are much cheaper. Now, I'm not looking for...

Hi People Ive got to get a new set of 4 tyres within the next few weeks and cant really make up my mind on which ones to go for I currently have Pirelli P-zero Neros and i don't seem to have much of a problem with them despite most people on here not being very keen Thanks

Hi all, I need advice please. I want to buy an inexpensive set of 17" alloys to go on my 2.0 TDI Sport DSG. It would be a spare set with winter tyres on, that I would swap on and off with the OEM 17s that have summer tyres on. Obviously I want to get the correct offset and everything...

My front tyres are at 22k miles and are needing changed. They are 205/55 R16 and although I took a note of the size, I didn't take a note of the make! However they are the original tyres (July 2007 07 plate). Anyone replaced their tyres and have a preference for a particular make for a...

I own an FR TDI. I really quite love it. I had the misfortune of being given a 1.6 Vauxhall Meriva hire car for about 1 hour the other day from Bristol International Airport> cross country > M5 > M4 > Newport, Wales. I've come to the conclusion that crap cars such as that cause road rage...

right iv not that long ago bought a leon tdi 130 with some linglong 205/55/16 tyres fitted to the front, now my problem is that in second and third gear when the turbo kicks in (not even hard acceleration) the traction controll light goes mad and if i turn it off i start to slide all over the...

Hi all, right just ordered some new rims for track fun an now need to sort some tyres for them, i am looking at all the normal list 1B suspects like AO48r, R888, V70A, DZ01J etc but what i am more interested in is what compound are people running or what can you recommend or indeed not recommend...

Ive searched on here and all the threads say the same thing that Pirelli tyres are rubbish? Ive got 4 P-zero nero's on my LCR 225 and i think there great in the dry and wet. The car gets driven hard sometimes and the grip is really good and the wear rate too. I just cant fault them!! Please...

As per thread title really cheers guys! Does anyone know what the bsw vsb bit means...

Guys, I have a need to buy 2 new tyres. Until recently, had 4 excellent Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetrics on the Cupra. One of these ended up damaged due to a poorly maintained council road so I need to buy another tyre. However the twist is that I have a spare wheel I am going to have...

Hey guys, Well I've finally got my new 18's on & they came as a wheel & tyre package last week with what I can only describe as THE worst tyres in the history of cars (Fullrun 199 things) they have no grip whatsoever & the car is IMO whoelly undriveable with them on & in this current weather...
