Angrybiker Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Had my Z for bout 2 months and need to replace the rear tyres. Just got back in2 fast cars after years on bikes so any advise on what tyre make to go for would be appreciated... I don't want to inadvertently buy a set of ditch finders Quote

spursmaddave Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 MPSS, Vredresteins & Bridestone RE050's are all recommended, also Falkens if you are on a bit of a budget. Only thing I would say is your better to replace all 4 really, unless the fronts are a decent brand and pretty new Quote

GMballistic Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Has anyone mentioned MPSS yet? What about Falken 453's for a good mid range budget tyre? Quote
Scott TMN Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 I vote Goodyear Eagle F1 Assy 2's Tyre reviews they are basially on parr with MPSS (slightly better damp grip and quieter) and cheaper too. Plus they won best summer performance tyres of 2013 by which i believe Quote

The Trouser Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Always run Bridgestones myself - but I'm just a regular commuter who doesn't do track days, mods, spirited drives at the weekend etc. Would I benefit from a set of MPSS? Quote

Angrybiker Posted July 29, 2014 Author Posted July 29, 2014 Thanks guys. If rather spend the money getting my wheels powder coated but those damn Police insist that I have tread on my tyres Quote
KyleR Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 What your budget? If its unlimited then certainly go for MPSS etc, but if you don't want to spend that sort of dough, may I suggest Kumho KU39's are pretty damn good, better than the Hankook Ventus V12's that I had before by quite some margin. Quote
Ekona Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 If on the lower end of the scale, then Falken 453s. If on the upper end, MPSS. The MPSS will be cheaper in the long term though, due to how much longer they last. Coupled with amazing feel and class-leading grip in wet or dry, I see them as a no brainer. Quote
spursmaddave Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) ^ have to agree with that, put MPSS on my Zed and it was like driving a different car, the grip was amazing, put them on my Jag and ditto. I'm sure some of the other tyres in the thread are just as good but I wouldn't choose anything else Edited July 30, 2014 by spursmaddave Quote

If these tyres are as good as the reviews suggest, it'll be 1 less excuse I'll have if I end up In a hedge Quote
