andymk312v 15 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 All you have listed there are good, I have used them all apart from the vredsteins, but they get alright reviews too. I like continental's they are a soft compound but grip in all conditions. Link to post Share on other sites
Surreyvr6 199 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 I use uniroyal rainsports and I can't fault them, haven't tried any of the others but they say if it's not broke don't fix it so can't see me using anything else Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
Outlawsaffa 1 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Im in the same boatbat the moment, i have pirelli p6000 on my vr, hands down the worst tyre i have ever had on any of my cars! No grip what so ever! If i were looking for a tyre with i "softer" rubber compound what would you guys recomend? @Surreyvr6 where in surrey? I live in ripley!

mattvr6 133 Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 Hankook Ventus v12s really good tyre and proxes Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
Vince12v 20 Posted January 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 I didn't rate the proxes, not much grip! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 I've had T1R for all my cars for years, but this last set I'm on now, which I am wondering will be my last by the time they need replacing as they are harder to find, don't seem as good, the grip is more lacking in this set, and they are all from the same time frame on the prod codes in the sidewalls. Think I'll be going either vredestein or Michelin next time due to costco selling these so it's cheaper than retail. Link to post Share on other sites

Surreyvr6 199 Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 Shame you can't try before you buy with tyres, that's why I stick with uniroyals because I rate them a lot and to try something else that I don't rate so much will be an expensive mistake, but on the other hand I could be missing out lolSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
jamesw6810 80 Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Toyo proxes 4. cracking tyre, had them on my e46 m3 a while ago and they hadled that really well, very quiet, dont last ages but im guessing on the vr6 much like the m3 you wont be doing huge mileage Link to post Share on other sites
