Need some help with tyres. Just been to a few garages for quotes and I havent raelly heard of any of there mid range brand options. Looking to spend upto £100 a tyre inc fitting on my golf running around 210bhp.
Can someone recommend the best options in that price range. Prestivos are £140 for the pair fitted. Dunlops £226 fitted at my local garage.
tyre size 225/4018

Toyo Proxies are excellent tyres for the money:

Falkens are also worth a look, I have used them in the past all ok.

I'm running falken 452's at the moment, in the dry they are excellent especially with the heat we've got at the moment. However in the wet they're pretty bad :undecided:
-
Black circles are good for tyres too. get free fitting too at local garages.
-
I'm running Goodyear eagle f1 assymmetric 2's an they are excellent tyres.
Got mine off of a shop on eBay and they were about 105 each for 18's

Good review, I fancy the Michelin PS3

I cant seem to find any for the price you paid. Also with asymmetric ones wouldn't you need all 4 on the car? As Ill only be replacing 2 atm.
-
No as long as you have the same two tyres on each axle
Prices seems to have either gone up or i rememered wrong :laugh:
eBay # 150776646299

Toyo proxies, I save my one of my customers over 100 pound on his tyre bill on his type r swappin from bridgstone potenzas to the toyos

The ZE912 is a lot better in the wet.

This too! absolutely brilliant in the wet.
-
Goodyear F1s are awesome tyres dry or wet but they do wear quickly and are absolutely useless in the snow.
I'm swaying towards Rainsports when need to replace as they are slightly cheaper. Had them on a previous car found them to be decent in the dry and plenty of grip in the rain which given our climate is unfortunately most of the time :grin:
-
Hankook ventus v12 is what we fit to a lot of cars and top quality for the price!

x2
ATS are doing 25% off 4 Michelin tyres or 15% off 2, this is an in branch only offer so not available online, they did 4 PS3's for £550 fitted
Michelin also have a cashback deal on at the moment link (http://marketing.michelin.co.uk/buynow/)
With the £50 cash back it cost me £500 for a set of PS3's (£125 a corner) fitted which was cheaper than Uniroyal's, Goodyears, Conti's, Pirelli's etc :afro:
-
Ended up just getting Falken 452's get them fitted today. Read alot of reviews and the positive ones outweighed the negative so they will do me.

our tyre opinions are similar :grin:
when i had 452s, swear they didn't even last that..
-
I have only ever heard good things about Falken too, they tend to be the small stretched ones though so dont know how the standard ones fair
-
The Falken 452's I had were great in a straight line just not corners especially in the wet :laugh:
-
aren't the majority of tyres good in a straight line :grin:
