New Tyre Time
« on: 03 May 2010, 23:09 »
Hey Peeps,

Time for some new tyres on the fronts. I have Conti Sport Contact 2's all round but noticed on the LH side front & rear they are 225/40/ZR18 and the RH side front & rear are 225/40/R18 92Y  :huh: Does that setup cause an issue?

I seem to recall something about having to have matching tyres on each side of the car e.g same on front LH and rear LH. I have done some searching on here but can't find anyone mentioning this type of setup.

Cheers

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?

Best price I had found locally to me for Conti Sport Contact 3's on 18" was £123 per tyre inc VAT & fitting. Mail order £116 per tyre incl P&P/VAT excl fitting.

Are you sure those prices are for 225/40R18 tyres? For me BlackCircles comes out at £125.03 each.
