shail 0 Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 I had Toyo Proxes all round on mine and they were very good, but didn;t last very long at all. Changed the fronts for some 'Khumo' cheap tyres as I was a bit skint and they are utter shite in the wet/damp, so avoid those! Best prices I found was from mytyres.com quick delivery too if they have them in stock Link to post Share on other sites

jws vr6 0 Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 I was going to start a new thread about tyres but thought i may aswell just add to this one. Im getting new wheels and am trying to decide which tyres to go for. Either Pirelli P Zero Nero (Extra Load), Dunlop SP Sport 9000, Toyo Proxes PX4, or Goodyear Eagle F1s. I has dunlops on my old wheels and they seemed pretty good and lasted reasonably well compared to a friend who uses the Goodyears, but thats probably his driving lol. Any opinions? Im tempted to try the Pirellis as i thought they were ment to be pretty good. They are all pretty much the same price so thats not a factor. Link to post Share on other sites
