Stu350z Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Hey guys! Wondering if anyone can recommend somewhere I can trust in/near Glasgow to buy and fit me two new front tyres! Not sure bout what brand to buy either? Are there ones I should be avoiding at all costs? I've currently got Dunlops But since hitting a huge pothole on wednesday my NSF now has a split in the wall! It's not very deep but I worry! It's a fast car! Were all well aware of this I'm sure! ) Maybe somewhere that can check the allignment too? Just in case! Thanks in advance Stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maz0 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Buy your tyres off Camskills on-line then get a local place to fit them. Guy round my bit takes 15 quid for it. Do not go to kwik fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vik, please tell me u mean i shouldn't mix front tyres! Please dont tell me i'll need to buy rears too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BladesGrant Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 You should have the same tyre all round. There is a lot of info on here about mixing tyre brands and why you shouldn't. Its painful but really a must!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 its just your luck really mate, ive run mixed tyres for a year now and really been on the track like this. The car feels unusual but as long as you aint driving like a retard and mainly round town you should be fine until you can afford to change all corners. I run pirelli pzero's on my rears and toyo t1rs on my front. Front felt a little wierd on the track but never encountered any issues on the roads. At the end of the day you should mix any tyres on any car, but these things happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So as far as I can gather I'll be ok with Dunlops on the rears and Falken's on the front for a couple of months then get two Falkens for the rears later! (Just not to much later!)
