Hello ! And Tyres!

[marios.eco]

Hi All,

 

Thought I would say hello as im a new member, have had a 56plate Z for about a year and a half now and loved every minute of it.

The car has run perfectly aswell until last night when one of my rear tyres popped and shredded down the inside. I am currently looking for replacement tyres and with the budgets and all I have around £120 per tyre to spend on each one, I am looking to replace the back two. Which tyre would you guys recommend? I have seen some Toyo Proxes T1? Any good? Are there any websites you guys would recommend? Thanks for your help!

saying they shredded down the inside,

 

could your camber/caster be slightly off??

 

and welcome!

Hello & another one for Toyo's

[marios.eco]

Thanks guys, possibly will have to check out camber but recently did a service and nothing much was mentioned. What tyres ideally would you guys go for?

Have a read through this bud, there is no definitive answer.

They won't check the tracking out at a service. Best to get the tyres fitted by a reputable company and get a laser alignment done at the same time to make sure everything lines up!

 

I see you set a budget for tyres, I think it will have ruled out the Michellin Pilot Sports so the tried and tested ones available for something around that price would be Toyos or Falkens.

 

I have Toyos and they are great. I haven't used Falkens so can't comment first hand.

 

It might be worth changing them all to keep everything matching!

Welcome to the forum. It often comes down to driving style, as to what type of tyre will suits you and your Zed.

Michelin Pilot Sports are my choice.

I have two rear toyo's with 300 miles on them which im happy to sell you, I'll check on the price, not sure about what the delivery costs are but i'm sure we could work something out.

re

4 wheel alignment - normally £58.69, less 20% on the day - only £46.95

Caster & Camber adjustment (if the facility available on your model) - normally £23.50, less 20% on the day - only £18.80 (price may vary with some models). Eibach camber bolts may be available for your car - can be discussed on the day. Price usually £46.94 - only £37.55.

 

10% off all tyres ordered and fitted on the day - Elite can get any tyres not normally stocked, so phone ahead to pre-order your requirements. They can get all the usual performance tyres and also the road legal race tyres like R888, A048s etc.

Hi and Falkens for me!

Hello, and welcome to the forum

 

Here's a pic of the Falkens (275 on 19"Nismos) compared to the Stones (on 18" Rays.)

 

Excellent value tyre within your budget and the grip is great in the wet - almost too grippy for the dry if you like a bit of the sideways stuff without too much provocation
