Isn't this Chris's expertise? 

He'd only recommend Falkens...

...shut it you!

Falkens are shite, on omega, just in case anyone doesn't know yet.

Iirc (this is a lie, I had to check your post history) there's an outstanding question on the set up since the last work on the suspension...?

But as long as your happy with the car and the set up;

...er, well it depends what you call a good tyre?
Cheap?
Sport?
Low wear?
Quiet?
Stable?

Michelin primacy, last for silly miles if driven sensibly. Poor lateral grip.

I use conti sc3, bit noisy, good grip v wear. Fairly stable. Expensive.
TB uses sport max tt, high grip high wear high price, very planted and stable. Noisy.

Mid range Kumho ku31/39 reasonable mid range tyre. Less grippy than above.


...actually, most of those are obsolete now.


Amyway, you get the idea. What sort of driver are you? Miss Daisy, Joe Bloggs or Ken Block?


Ps, second hand do have a use. If your still having set up issues for instance...?
And also if new suspension fitted, it's best to leave set up, and hence New tyres, until the new suspension has settled. At least a couple of weeks if possible.

Hopefully that's of more help than those other jokers above?

Hi

The last setup produced this on a visualiner pro 32

left front -1.27 (0.05)
right front -1.98 (0.05)
left rear -1.81 (-0.27) adjuster seized
right rear -2.44 (0.21)

Ah, looks like fractions of a degree, rather than degrees and minutes we're used to.

But approaching two degrees is never correct on front right.

In minutes it shouldn't be any more than -1 degree and 20 minutes combined average.

So I'd hold off on new tyres until that and the rear track rod are sorted.

I too am replacing suspension as my tyres are nearly down to the metal on the inside shoulders .....The ones on the back still with plenty on them ( and the worn out front ones) are Avon ZV5

Is it worth getting the same again on the front??

Or is there another recommended make?

I found ZV5 too slippery, hence only managed 4k from the back of my old tractor

Rear camber in unimportant really - Trailing arms run with lots of camber usually. Toe is the key for the rear.

Front camber, looks like one side of yours has way too much.

I use Firestone fire hawk SZ90u's very good tyres seem to last well and offer good grip in dry and wet conditions. Hope this helps

Goodyear eagles for me, with really no compromise.....
