New Rubber for the New Chugger!

[R1dd1ck]

Hello again peeps.

As i have my cupra 3 weeks, i seem to be running around on 2 federal and two sunny budget tyres. Dont look at me, they were already on there when i bought it, but i am looking at some new soles for cupra's shoes and would like to know a nice good make for these little babies. I have been looking at yokohama's at 70 per tyre with fitting.

Any suggestions on what maybe to purchase......my budget is about 70-75 quick per tyre.

while we're here blackcircles is what i use for tyres, you just order + pay online, then pop along to the garage for fitting, it's awesome and maybe a little bit cheaper!

i have goodyear eagle f1s and 2k in it's so far so good but i thnk they're about £75 on 16 inchers!

How much is the fitting for them?

 

[Ric 2001]

Toyo P1's that my next purchase @ £70.20 + £10 fitting. Had very good reviews from people on this forum.

 

[R1dd1ck]

Ive just been looking now at the proxy T1R's.........these any good?

 

[Ad Lav]

Yup, I have 4

 

[R1dd1ck]

How many miles will you get out of them? ive seen em at £56 a tyre....is that good?

 

[Ad Lav]

£56 is good, I paid £300 for 4!

I'm still on them, maybe 5k so far, 5-6mm left

 

[R1dd1ck]

wow, so a good 8k then id b thinking. yea, 56 a tyre, then 10 fitting balance blah blah blah.

 

[Ad Lav]

If not more!

Mind you my car has 300 lb/ft so does eat them if I drive briskly...

 

[R1dd1ck]

ah, well mines gettin revo'd soon but its a petrol so about 250lb/ft so wont eat as much although i did do home to work extremely quickly yesterday, smelt alot of rubber burning tho, traction control conastantly wen i set off......so my tyres are crap at mo

 

[Ad Lav]

Should see some good results, remember to bed them in properly!

 

[R1dd1ck]

meaning?

 

[Ad Lav]

They're brand new so don't go flooring it and hammering around corners!

Just 100 miles of progressive driving, gets rid of the 'bobbles' as my mate calls them and then they wear better.

 

[R1dd1ck]

Well we drive 60 miles a day from huddersfield to leeds and back, i dont pay during the week so by the weekend thats a good 300 miles used. they'll be nice by then

 

[R1dd1ck]

I will say though i honestly daren't hammer it into any corners at the moment. I honestly don't know how much these cars stick ( if anyone could shed a light on this ) but also because of the rubber i've got at the moment. I dont trust them.

 

[Ad Lav]

Good tyres, new ones out are T-4's or something...

 

[R1dd1ck]

Good good! cheers buddy!
