I am buying 4 new tyres from Camskill, size 225-40/18. I wanted to buy Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta which I find to be grippy and quiet on the road, but they dont have them in stock and I want them for early next week. The other tyres I was looking at are Falken 452 which I found in the past where great but are noisy on the Octavia or Hankook K110 V12 Evo. These have got great reviews and are similar price to out of stock Vredestein. Decisions, decisions.... Any other Ideas. I don't really want to spend any more than £90.00 per tyre

Cheers

I know you said you didn't want to go above £90 a corner, but if you can stretch, I'd say the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetrics, Toyo T1Rs or Yokohama Paradas.

Those, along with the Sessantas are what I'll be looking at when I come to need some new rubber...

I know the Toyo T1 are good but they wear too quickly. And the F1 is not in stock either :(

Have a look on camskill and tell me what you would pick?

I have the Falkens all round on my vRS, I have to say, I didn't really notice any road noise, but the fronts have worn down very quickly, think I would go for Kumho's or the Vredestein next time.

Bridgestone Potenza REO50A ( has to be the Asymetrical ones ) is what my local dealer recomended to me and they're an excellent all round tyre IMO.

I've had two sets of Ultrac Sessantas from Elite Direct and got some Sportrac 3s for my son's Fabia a few weeks ago. Their prices are as good, if not better, than Camskill and deliver has been next day.

Check out their details here and give them a call;- http://www.elitedirect.com/Tyres/tyres2bysize.php5?ordertype22=1&saletype22=retail&section=225&profile=40&rim=18&speed=&Submit23=Search+Database+%3E

I've had a set of Toyo T1-R's on since last July. Fronts still not on the wear blocks either.

Tyres I'll be looking for when the time comes....Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta, Toyo T1-R, Falken 452, Yokohama Parada spec 2

After havng a chat with Oggy ref tyres i had my two fronts replaced with the Hankook V12 evo,s on Wednesday & they are spot on . Definatly as good as the Toyo T1-R (had these on my last vRS)

Finally got shot the the crap that was fitted then Martin...

Just switched from FK-452's which were quite nosiy and wore down to 1.6mm in under 11k miles. Now running a full set of Kumho Ecsta Sport KU31's. Initial impressions are much quiter and more forgiving ride. Good grip under hard acceleration and good control under hard braking. No wet weather test as yet ! All 4 fitted for about £370 (all in) from Protyre.

The Hankooks are brilliant but they didn't have them in stock the last time I was buying so I went back to Falken 912's another very good tyre. I think I might try Avons next.

Has anyone tried Marshall tyres ??

I decided to go for a set of the hankook V12 from camskill.

Hope they are at least as good as the ultrasac..

I'll let you know how they fair.

Yokohama Paradas. are good in the dry but S*** in the dry and thats with AWD on the scooby
