Title: Recommended tyres?
Post by: GastronomicKleptomaniac on 23 June 2008, 10:51:52
Ey up

 Took the wheels off to get to cleaning the brakes, noticed the rear tyres are down to 0.5mm from the wear bars. Explains the recent sideways action on every wet roundabout (but who says I'm complaining? ;) )
 Might as well take the chance to get four decent ones fitted, the ones fitted now I've never heard of.

 It's the MV6 running on 17s, I'm looking at Goodyear Hydragrips or Vredestein Sportrac 3s - unless anyone's got any horror stories?

Do a search in the general chat section there was a good thred on tyres recently, those tyres you have just mentioned may have been talked about in the thread.   :y

Ended up with Dunlop SP 3000s, got to say the difference is staggering.

(I'd have hung on and got the V's delivered, but if I'd had to drive at all in the interim, the local constabulary may have disagreed with me regarding the legality of the rears...)
