Nowt wrong with buying tyres cheap. Buying cheap tyres is where the problems start.

was first tyre that came up that size so posted it, lol

shame uniroyal dont do that size, ive had uniroyal on the front of my car for ages now and there the best grip tyre ive had so far, i dont do soft ones like yoko's though as there wear out to fast on isle of wight because of cr@p roads

When my Escort was in daily use I used to get through a set of front Yoko's in about 12-14 months. The rears are still the original ones and despite track days are still going strong

I find different makes have different size side walls. I have found yokohama to be lowest, but thats only compared to kumho and nankangs.

Anyone know if continental have smaller sides?

Dont mean to sound rude, but you can't drive it yet anyway. Fair play if you are doing it up ready for when you can.

funny you say that, i have Continenta on the back, been on there for, er, this is 4th year i think, they only done about 20k miles and a dozen or so hand brake turns but i would go so far to say that they prob only about 1/4 wornat best between 1/4 and 1/2.

as for side walls, ther not real wide and they round off nice, but theres other makes that are better

[PUREtom]

I'm after some 195/40/16s.

I have shopped around and found a few cheap sites.

mytyres.co.uk incl delivery
Continental - 71.90
Dunlop - 63.00

camskill.co.uk incl delivery
Continental - 62.00
Toyo Prox - 56.00

valuetyres.co.uk
Continental - 64.41
Dunlop - 82.00

uk.autothek.com
Continental - 64.53
Dunlop - 61.04
Pirelli - 64.53

topgear.co.uk
Continental - 61.42

tyretraders.com
Dunlop - 74.00
Toyo Prox - 58.00
Fulda - 52.41

So the cheapest are - Fulda @ 52.41 But I have never heard of them so going to give them a miss.

2nd Cheapest is Toyo Proxes.

What do people think of Toyo Proxes? Any good?
Better /worse than Kumro/Nankang?

[ianFRST]

depends which ones. they do the t1-s and the t1-r

the r are the good ones have a look on ebay. i think they do them for 56 posted

[PUREtom]

Yeah they are the T1-R ones.

So what do people think is the best deal? I realise cheaper isn't always better. The continentals don't seem to be directional.

Contintentals for £248
Dunlops for £244
or the Toyo T1-Rs for £224
?????

[scotty_boy]

Heard nothing but good things about Eagle F1s What I'll be going for next.

[PUREtom]

Can't find Eagle F1's anywhere in 1954016!

May spend the extra £12 and get some Pirellis.

[Brother Crash]

Got mine from mytyres in May last year and is still perfect

Even though everyone said not to get the cheap one

Proxes are a good tyre as for Kumho/Nankang see here http://www.ditch-finders.co.uk
