What tyres to go for? Ashtray vxr van
Hello,
As some of you might know my brother got the vxr astra van and one of the front tyres has a bump on the sides
So he wants two new ones on the front and was wondering if anyone here can here pick what one.
He wants something that will last and not end him up flipping it again lol.
205/40 ZR17
Cheers.

Toyo's maybe? I have a set of Yokohama Parada spec 2 on my fiesta st. They seem alright.

Road car wise, I favour uniroyal rainsport 2's, use them on my fiesta st, great in the wet, not bad on track, but wouldn't recommend on track

I have the Eagle F1 Assy 2's on the Mondeo.
They are like driving on a marshmallow constantly and one of them has gone out of shape.
Terrible tyres and I wouldn't wish them on anyone!
