My mates sis owns her own Tyer shop,, I could get a Tyer at £50 and then thay put charges on and profit so u could pay £100 for a Tyer
Title: Re: :) happy birthday to me :)
Post by: scarr89 on 22 May 2012, 12:32
So say a yoko parada, over £100 per tyre brand new...You could get em for £50?!

i agree with that but in the wet they are pish  :smiley:
Title: Re: :) happy birthday to me :)
Post by: JimBR on 22 May 2012, 13:17
I agree with that too  :grin:

Your better off with Uniroyal Rainsports, they're pretty good in the wet. Most tyres are okay in the dry really.

Post by: turbokid23 on 22 May 2012, 14:18
So wot is the best all round Tyer then??
Title: Re: :) happy birthday to me :)
Post by: scarr89 on 22 May 2012, 14:24

If you are spending about 100 per corner then you could probably get some tyres which are about 150 retail a corner...The world is your oyster!

yoko parada arent great in the wet  :wink:

I have been using my paradas all year round in all weather. Never had any bother driving in the snow with them on for god sake! I feel people who X tyres are good in the rain are idiots who drive like tools in the rain. Driving sensibly in wet condition is the key here I feel.

iv never had a problem with my budget tyres and iv never ended up in a ditch  :grin: driving skill is a key factor  :laugh:

Drive as sensible as you want an idiot can still pull out on you in the rain  :wink:

I beg to differ. If you are a sensible driver, one who drives to the road condition, anticipates other cars moves and it generally aware then you shouldn't have a problem. If you are referring to a car pulling out from a T junction at late notice then not many people have much chance, even with the best brakes/tyres.

Post by: cullygti on 22 May 2012, 19:34
of course it comes down to common sense if you drive like a twit in the rain then theres summat wrong so if you are a good driver and aware of the drivers around you ie paying attention that comes under driver skill you will be totally aware of the car that just pulled out in front of you and if you have common sense you will stop in time because you aint driving like a twit make of tyre as got f**k all what so ever to do with it this is one of them my cat is blacker than yours sort of things so il say nuffin more piece out  :kiss:
and when you lose control in a car you dont power on as it causes more problems  :wink:
