Never had 17's on my omegas but these I believe will fit ?? If so they look cheap for good years

Good price, but a shame they're the wrong size

had 215/45/17 before

[cem_devecioglu]

I use this size asym 2 f1 .. if you dont care about uk insurance issues its ok..


however, if you will let the car stay for long periods , dont forget to increase the pressure
like 10 psi above normal..

235/45/17 is the official 17 inch size. You may run into insurance problems using narrower variants. Also, the rolling radius is wrong, buggering up speedo etc.

I have used GY F1 Asym2's for about 18 months on Omegas, but will not buy any more. Relatively poor life combined with the better end of mid-range grip make it quite an expensive tyre offering very little for me.

Can TB buy van tyres in suitable sizes...

I'm afraid only micheline pilot sport 3 is left that you didnt try and spit

A good tyre, but a "Max performance" summer tyre it's most certainly is not.

 In terms of performance....Good yes, great no. Sc3 and especially RT have a fair dollop more grip.


Although, could serve some people well at that price. I suppose.

[cem_devecioglu]

interestingly, I start to think temperature difference between UK and my country is really effective..


because never seen abs working on eagle f1s  and also never seen they are insufficient in corners despite the mad speeds I have tried


but I think also winter time temperatures are effective that some edge users are complaining about grip.. but that tyre not designed for that time

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

I find these tyres excellent in 235/45/17 form.

I'm not sure what difference a 225 tyre as opposed to a 235 tyre would make. Little, I imagine.

Tyre wear isn't great though. After 9500 miles my rears are pretty close to the wear markers.

Final word. At £70 a pop what's the worst that can happen? .....even  Wanli Ditchfinders come in at close to £60 a corner and the rears were fooked after 5000 miles.

But is the Omega a "Max performance summer car"?.......Not really, Mr Gixer. I use my Veyron as a maximum performance summer car. Honest.

On the subject of tyres...  my new CDX has Primewell PZ900's on it and they're surprisingly good, not to mention cheap

lots of reviews about road noise, but they're very quiet on the omega.

You've clearly never met me

Joshwyatt - what useless shite tyres did TBE have on when I bought it from you? Was it PS2 or PS3?

Nah, you're just not trying hard enough. If you can't get the ABS to fire with those tyres (235 width), your brakes need fixing

[05omegav6]

I think we need to have a whip round to get Cem over here to appreciate what an Omega with proper brakes is capable of...
