Tyre Suggestions

CaptainSherlock · February 1, 2009

Hello,

Looking to replace front set of tyres - currently running on Dunlop SP Sports - 215 45 17, on when i bought the car.

My driving is a mixed bag, rural - motorway, main concern is a smooth ride.

Any suggestions would be greatfully received.

Cheers.

:)

Hey Buddy, in fact I just replaced a set of worn P7000 pirelli's with some falken FK452's, in all honesty they are much better than the dearer pirelli. Road noise is down and the handling is great maybe not as responsive initially but much better ride quality. Also the Falkens will last much better, on here everyone seems to like them too. A good place to buy is camskill.co.uk they were the cheapest at about £65 per tyre.

hope that helps buddy!

Totally agree, i've got Falkens all round and i'm very happy with them, got mine from camskill delivered to my front door within 2 days, the only thing is you have to get them fitted elswhere so add about £10 per tyre to your budget for that.

I have had falkens put on mine after having Michelin Pilot Sports and the ride quailty and road noise is so much better with the falkens. They also seem to be wearing well even though i do like to make full use of the IS grip. I go on loads of different roads from country lanes to motorways and they never fail.
