Tyre Advice !

[Corby]

Hi there.

This is my first post to the website.. and also my first Lexus! Getting a 51 Reg IS200 Sport with styling kit etc at end of this week (hopefully).... I cant wait!! :P

I however need four new tyres ... 225/40/18's. My local tyre garage have recommended Avon ZZ3's as they are a good all-round tyre, and also dont break the bank balance.

What is the thought on them? Anybody got good or bad reviews on them?

Cheers.

Avons are not normally a bad tyre, good racing background and 1st choice tyre for the good people at Rolls Royce & Bently. I have tried avons but did not find them as responsive in the rain as I do with Perrelli's. I hear good reviews on hear about Toyos so it could be worth giving them a try.

ZZ3 is what im getting with my new alloy, not sure how good they are, anyone know?

Must be a good choice is you are having on them on that beast, Maz!!!

I had some Toyo Proxes on my last car (only an Astra) and they didnt last two minutes...very very soft! Which made for good grip though. Wouldnt like that repeated cost replacing them on the 18" rims!!!!!

I have the ZZ1's - harder compound tyre than most, so excellent wearing, but not fantastic in the wet.... I'd still recomend them....
