Title: Tyres?
Post by: UnCl3RoRy on 29 July 2013, 21:29

I was thinking about gettin some 18" BBS style alloys, either LMs or CHs.

I was just wondering if you guys knew how much the rubber would cost in each corner? such as cheaper tyres or more expensive better tyres?

anybody know?

Just an average price would be extremely helpful

thanks

Evergreen are pretty budget tbh.

The likes of Bridgestone Potenza and ContiSport2's are premium tyres, Falken, Hankook and Vredestein are all mid range etc.

I run 215/40/18 Falken 452's and they set me back about £100 a corner, they're great in the dry, even more so when it's warm. Pretty crap in the wet and cold though.

Get youself onto www.camskill.com (http://www.camskill.com) and have a look.

Falken or Toyo's are good choices.

Yoko paradas spec 2s. A touch over £100 a corner, but I have never had any issues with them in the past in any weather. Great when dry  :cool:
