Right just put the old girl through the MOT and she done good

Just the four tyres needed (Bloody 4x4 at least 2wd was only 2 at a time lol)

Right as said 4x4 lowered hardened dry weather grip good, so am after a tyre that gives good wet weather performance (got the older F1's on there at the mo and aint had any probs with them ), but when my sis went to buy some of these a while back they didnt do em anymore and the new style were loads more £££, I know it worth spending and not skimping on tyres but what im after is a reasonably priced tyre with good wet weather performance something that can handle a couple of shoot out type track days (not full on circuit racing stuff ) which will also give reasonable life span on the road as car is used everyday for normal car type things like going shopping and down the Chineese

Oh ye size is 205 45 16


Cheers

Steve

 

Toyo T1-S, direction tread pattern. Same as the Goodyear F1's.

 

toyos are a yoko pattern arent they?!
In any case id recomend them!
cheap as chips for you size too expect to pay circa £50 ea

 

got uniroyal rain sports on mine and can't complain at all ! very good in wet and dry

 

OK cheers guys, gives me a couple to go looking at, whats them proxo's things , r they them toyo ones u talking about

Hate picking new tyres lol, when i brought my F1's they were clearly the leader in all the reviews I read so was easy, but they done so well aint even looked at tyres for the past couple years (shows what milage I do )


Steve

PS I want/need em to be up near the 180 mph speed rating pls (ye ok so someone gonna come on and say i never done 180, but want to be at least trying to get close this year so want a tyre that i can be confident in )

 

yes mate toyo proxie T1-s or the new proxies are T1-r
the cheapest places you will get tyres from are www.mytyres.co.uk or my personal fav (next day delivery good service, everything in stock etc) is www.camskill.co.uk

 

Ahhh cool now I am a bit clearer

Thx 4 links, actually on mytyres now lol (dont help me if I dont know what im looking 4 tho ), actually got a guy just over the road (so will fit em as well) that is very hard to beat on price, but will deffo have a look and can then c how he compares cause everything else is cheaper on the net these days

Steve

 

well put it this way mytyres sell proxies cheaper than Toyo sell proxies at trade!

 

pmsl cool

Up to page 3 so far and aint obviously got 2 em yet lol,

ever heard anything bout Avon ZZ 3's NOT doubting the proxies (as got a feeling they what i want just curious as the avons dont read too bad)

Steve

 

cheers steve need some for mine to was gonna ask if any one had a link lmao how have ya been doing anyway mate long time no speak

 

ive never had avons TBH but a mate of mine had them on his Nova (was a 2.0l mind) and they were fine... BUT the ones he had were VERY soft and wore out very quick..
I should warm you this can be an issue with the proxies too as they are a fairly soft compound tyre..
Although it will be the same with any tyre that will grip... ie if it grips it wears out quicker!

 

Ello Paul

Ye im ok, just sooo busy at the mo and dont seem to have any time 4 myself

Want to try and sort that in 2005 and do some stuff for me ie get back online a bit more and get out in the car to some events

As Connor gets older should get easier as he aint gonna be wanting dad round so much but good for me

Speak soon hopefully m8

Cabrio Turbo, cant seem to find the proxies on mytires u wouldnt be able to get a link 4 us would u m8

Steve

 

No worry mate hopefully meet up sometime this year

 

WHAT now that aint on is it pmsl

NA unfortunately id kinda figured that, my main concern is for wet weather really, I do use the car evry day even if it just to comute but that aint exactly an hours drive so the milage aint really that high

Steve

 

my tyres dont seem to have them in your size

However camskill do
http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php?plid=m4b0s344p0

thought they would be cheaper than they are though! cost more than my 17's did!
you have got the option of the falcons too but they aint the best IMO.. i had them a while ago and my cab used to understeer like mad.

the Kuhmo's are a cheap and cheerful tyre.. not had much experience with them although my Mrs has the 205/40/17 ecsta supra on her punto and theve been good so far.

 

Proxies are absolutely mint when its dry and they are bloody goo when its wet too...

 

Ye am liking the idea of the proxies, had a read on a few other forums and only found one gut not recomendind em (funnily enough he went to the Avons i mentioned earlier, but a few others well out weighed him backing the toyos )

right just gotta find the best price for em, and this is the tr1's i presume, aint actually had a look at the link yet (gonna finish tyoing this first lol) and aint found em else where either, but spose the speed rating on these is ok

Steve

 

Bloody hell steve not seen you about for ages, or on MSN!

Hows tricks fella?

 

Toyo proxies T1-S for me, ive been really pleased with them especially in the wet

 

yea speed rating is fine.. link is for T1-r's T1-s's some falcons avons, and some kuhmo's.
IMO 99% of the people you ask whove actually had toyos will say they are great.

 

Ello Andy

Re my reply to Paul a bit up the page

But na as said been busy seeing as much as my son as I can since she left, and work just got sooo usy cant get on from there no more (MSN)

Been on here a couple times this year tho u obviously aint been looking closely enough

Congrats on the modship dont mean I gotta call u sir now does it (cause i bloody wont be )

like I said to paul gonna try harder to keep up with things, god I dread when i will finally get back on MSN everyone gonna be jumping on me lol, ill be bonging everywhereand i used to struggle with two windows even when i was on pmsl


Cabrioturbo spot on link mate cheers, that aint a bad price either, may actually even consider some 17's and see what deals i can find with wheel tyre combos with the proxies

Steve

 

Goodyear f1s for me

 

yep that what im looking for wet grip

No disrespect but the tr1 is better than the s aint it

Steve

 

Theres a couple different ones of them about at the mo, whats the better one of the f1's as I have also been happy with the old ones of them i had

Steve

 

cheers pal, no you dont have to call me sir

Try and get on MSN sometime for a catch up

 

OH and if I do change for 17's what size am i looking for 205 40 17 i presume

Cheers for all the help (esp cabrioturbo )

Steve

 

Cheers Andy nice to c power aint gone to ya head

Wouldve told ya all might be able to do msn tomoz as off, but only just agreed to babysit Connor for her so she can see her new boyfriend

Seve

 

205 40 17 are what ive been running. tyre wall is nicely rounded to so dont catch the archs unlike shit marshalls that slide around in the wet.


errrrr i dont know the answer to that lol

 

you can either run 205/40/17 or a lot of cossie owners will run 215 or 225's 205 will fit easily without any need for arch mods though.

 

Ye think ill stick with the 205's, just seeing as i got one not very pretty wheel and need the four tyres it seems like a good time to maybe hunt a deal out on a tyre wheel combo and that may as well be 17's this time

Steve

 

dont you think youve got enough spare tyres as it is ?

 

PMSL

Well the new years Chineese didnt last too long did it mind u was only a ikle one

Anyway enough of the insults go use that Broad band to find me some good prices

Steve

 

you better start saving for some new suspension if your gonna be buying that much chinese again

 

I have just had 4 new proxes T1-R's and i am more then happy with them

 

you better start saving for some new suspension if your gonna be buying that much chinese again


Na just hoping to keep the front wheels on the deck this year

 

right think im convinced

Right anyone wanna suggest some 17's that will suit my car

 

super turismo's cant go wrong
