What tyres are you all fitting? Mine have lasted 12500 on the fronts!!

What do you think of Toyos??

There's not alot of love for the Toyos on here.

Do a search and you'll find this has been covered many many times over.

It would seem that Vredestein Ultrac Sessantas seem to be the favourite.

I went for Falken 452s as they were £20 cheaper than the Vredesteins, and I've had no issues with them and I drive like a ****.

Hi

This subject has been discussed many many times (recently as well)

Try a search and you will see what I mean.

I can simplify it for you, for quality and price you cannot beat Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta's

HTH

Sorry about the re post, but anyone know of any deals on these??

Camskill seem to be the cheapest.

Excellent service as well

Cheers

I went for the 452's for the same reason and got a good deal for all 4 fitted by Event tyres at my office. After breaking in for 300 miles, they seem to grip at least as good as the Michelin PE2's that I had on before at double the price and indeed seem to have reduced the axle tramping that I experienced when flooring it in 1st and 2nd - not sure if that is a sign of slightly better grip or worse

i'm happy enough with my 452's , good price as well,

Falken 912's and very impressed aswell. Think I might try Avon ZV5 or Hankook 107's next for the craic.

Look in the Octy II section now, as I've just replied in a Vred thread about a minute ago...

Just buy those. You won't regret it. Next question....

Think I might try Avon ZV5.

I've tried a set of these on 215/45/R17 wheels on the front axle and cant say i am as impressed with them in the wet, as i am the Vredsteins.

i'm happy enough with my 452's , good price as well,

Just need a decent set of wheels then Pete

I tried the SV5s on the front and got a terrible sawtooth effect on them, they also got noisy as **** when they got down to about 3mm

Dunlop sp sports on from new,done 17500 miles on front but just about shot,rears like new sessanta "s next.

Just put 4 Kumho KU19's on my vRS. Have had 2 set's of Kumho KU31's on other cars and been happy with them so thought I'd try the KU19's out as they have an Asymmetric tread pattern. Again happy with them so far - only done about 250miles though. £72 each fully fitted so seemed a good deal.

Steve, do you feel like a stuck record and a Vred paid employee:rofl:

Im ordering 2 Vreds from Camskill tomorrow....local ATS will fit em for £15 a corner, 5 mins from the office so that will do for me:thumbup:

Dan

Happy to spread the good tyre news Dan

Good result and well done for finding an ATS branch with a sensible attitude to tyre fitting

Take care in the wet - I found the Kunhos to be cracking dry tyres - if a little "squealy" but a bit limited in the wet.

Vredestein Ultrac Sessantas - not a lot more.........

I hang my head in shame (slightly) but as a man on a budget I have just got two Sava Intensa front tyres (18") for £86 each fitted at HiQ. I had Continental Sport Contact on the front previously, from new, which lasted 22,000 miles although from the look on the guys face at the garage I shold probably have replaced them sooner!

4 x Newish Sunew's, they were reviewed as a good budget tyre, but tight cornering in wet and dry just ends up with loads of understeer, and accelerating from standstill is a wheel spinning nightmare. I had more grip on my continentals with legal limit tread :(

Blimey! I paid that for my Falken 452s!

Not sure how you got 22k out of a set of Contis - I had the ContiSportContact3s on the front and I went through them in 8000 miles :eek:

I got my last set of Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta (225 40 18) from my local fitter for £96 fitted. Now they don't stock them any more. They then went on to suggest maybe I went for Toyo Proxes for £480 for all four fitted. I said no thanks.

Am buying 4 Vred's from Camskill for £85 each. Then fitting at a friend's workshop.
