Had this posted in the wheels and tyres section, but theres a better audience in here, need to get tyres tomorrow, sorry mods, just wanted some quicker replys




Guys can you recommend some long lasting tyres size 205 40 17.

My GF is going threw tyres fast as fuck on the front of her corsa, thats 2 sets in a few thousand miles, first were falken ziex's lasted about 3000 miles 2nd set are cheap ones and have lasted 2000 or so, shes not easy on the car but christ going threw tyres that quick on a 1.0L Is taking the piss There wearing evenly.

Can anybody recomend some that will last and be reasonably priced, I know faster wearing comes with stickyness so would like the opposite

 

your girlfriend obviously needs to change her driving style if shes going through tyres in 2000 miles on a 1 litre. my dunlop sp9000 back tyres last several times more than that on my rear wheel drive bmw, even with hard use.

 

Woah! That's bad, lol.

 

toyo proxes are good grip well and last longer than yokos and you can get them off ebay for about Ł120 a pair

 

You can post most things in this section chap, as long as its not porn or stuff for sale(whether your a gold member or not)

Also as said above your gf must be a lunatic behind the wheel

 

I'd be throwing on the cheapest linglongs I could find if she's burning them up that quickly... its not like she needs performance stuff on a 1.0 Corsa anyway.


Cheers,
Grant

 

personally i would go for michelin. But get a wheel allignment as well

 

Yeah shes not right I've already had to change an engine cos she killed the last one Its not even like it wheel spins, figure its just late braking and her cornering.
The tracking was done recently so that side of things is fine.

Cheers lads
