What size are the tyres on the ED30??

Anyone tried checking prices on etyres.co.uk?
They come out and fit the new tyre and balance etc wherever you are - and for my current car they are the cheapest around......

Mine came with Bridgey's, just stuck a couple of Falken 452's on, which came highly recomended (and cheap £139.00 the pair), & they are quieter & as sticky as hell.

Very happy with them.

Let the tyre bashing commence.............................. :evil:

Good man  :cool:  I have them aswell and they are fantastic.  Is that a fitted price?  Where did you get them?  Seems I was raped on the price (£101  a corner fitted by a mobile tyre fitter)  :sad:

Would have thought they were the same as the GTI:

Have no idea where you are based, but KB Tyres (on a10, hertfordshire) are same price for falkens as camskill, but fitted, and there are three places in Biggleswade (28 miles from me) I used to travel to as they are far far cheaper than anywhere within a large radius.

Yep for the pair.

I know the bridgeys were a tad worn, but the 452's have transformed the car

Lesson learnt regarding where to buy em  :shocked:

Regardless of cost they are an awesome tyre, but for the price they are simply outstanding.

The acid test will be for someone who has the assyms to try them as a comparison.

If you have Michelin, then they'ill be Exaltos and a very good tyre they are too...

Thanks, are they a better tyre than the pilot sports?

Of course not  :grin: :grin: :grin:

I live in Essex - near Harlow - where can I get these Falkens from??
If they do a good job, they seem good for the price!

EDIT: Sorry just read above - KBTyres off of the A10 are only 16 miles from me, so should be cool ;)
