Removed Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 Lifted from another forum.... poor owner somehow managed to park it quite artistically! Shame about the damage though Quote
AndyC Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 That'll be down to them shite Bridgestone's!! Quote
Jacko Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 Actually, has anyone tried the contis on the 350z? I've had multiple cars on Conti sports 2 in the past and they were fantastic tyres, really grippy in both wet and dry and lasted well? I've read that Toyos seem to be the tyre of choice but was just wondering? Quote
Marky Mark Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 Just ordered some for the rear actually..... I hate the Bridgestones... Quote
Jacko Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 You'll have to let me know what you think then....... How much was the damage if you don't mind me asking? Fitted prices etc... Mark Quote
JDM Performance Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 I've had Toyos on my FTO for years and cant fault them. Recently though we put Avon onto the wife's TT and they work fantastic on it. For my Z though I still run the Bridgestones but am looking to change them soon so was thinking Toyo or these Avon ones. Continentals are meant to be good too and in the past the wife had a Celica GT4 with them on and never had a problem, and lots of GT4 OC members recommended them too. The only down side is that they cost alot and if you're not loaded then it might not be the best value for money for you. Quote
Marky Mark Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 Well, Monday evening with the chimps at Kwik fit with a slow rear puncture. Looks at the damage and says "can't repair it, new tyres sir". *kerching* In truth the damage was a lateral slice though the centre of the tyre tread and it was horrible. Problem is that at 5.30 in the evening no-one else is around to barter and guess who has to be 100 miles away by 8.00AM today..... Anyway, they had them already (had rung around on the weekend) and they wanted £370. Gulp. After a bit of hard negotiating got them for £305. I am sure if I had more time (and choice) could have got better but in truth it was a good deal. Quote

Already had to get a new RE040 rear soon after getting the car for another puncure, ffs! Quote
