Best budget tyres?

Featured Replies

Hello all.

I need some decent tyres for my vRS on a budget... I realise people will say yadda yadda good tyres you wont regret but tbh I don't go hurtling into corners at speed but want something that won't wear quickly, have a decent amount of grip but be ideally under

What size and speed do you need? I'd recommend the Falken 452's but not sure if they're available in your size.... :D

I need the standard vRS size 205/45/16 please :D

Can get the ZE512 off eBay

I have experiance of the falkens, they are cracking tyres, very good, and I'd reccomend.... I have also used (and have on the fiat at the front) federal, these I got cheap from my local tyre place, and are a good tyre (especially in heavy rain) the compair favorably with the expensive brands I've used, and I believe they are reccomended on scoobynet as a decent budget tyre! both are available as XL (extra load) which I'd reccomend due to the stronger sidewalls :)

Currently running Kumho's on mine, Paid

Hankook Ventus for me - 6k into them, very good wet and dry grip and quieter and less rumbly than Pirellis that were on the car. Wear - too soon to tell but still over 1/2 by the looks.

Someone else on Brisky runs them on vRS and rates them too.

Cheers for the advice.

Think I'll go for the Falkens seem to be good value for

Khumo's are pretty good.

as above seem decent for the money try blackcircles.com i have always found these very good

I've run Hankook Ventus on loads of cars and never had a problem with them. Got them on my vRS right now and they grip well wet or dry. 50 quid a corner fitted.

Kumho KU-31s would get my vote in this sector.

Try tyretraders.com. They are pretty good, but you have to have them fitted else where as they only deliver.

Another vote for the Khumos. Had them on my 18s, they were pretty darn good! :)

I think the T1 R is preffered with R meaning re-inforced sidewall.

Budget tyres?

I have just done 350 miles on four F2000 Fortunas which cost me

I'll need to pick up 4 tyres sooner rather then later, am using Dunlop sport 9000's at the min but I just use my car to do a bit of traveling and going to work (I have a motorbike for that need for speed). On my gone but not forgotten Golf Gti I picked up some rather tasty looking tyres called Millenium which according to the garage were made by an Avon sister company. They were about

well my sister was in a car crash a couple of years ago which really came down the fact that the car she was in was fitted with Nankangs which had barely worn in. So I won't be buying unknown brands myself for personal reasons.

Hankook and Fulda (Goodyear) are hardly unknown. Nankang I would be suspicious about, and I strongly advise against Wanli. The image below is of a

Thats one place I would never use a really cheap tyre. My first set of track wheels had 4 different barely legal tyres of arious cheap origins. The result was afer two laps of Coomb in I thought I was driving on liquid rubber.

I ended spending that much time off line they picked up more rubber than they lost !!
