were doing some work for a tyre fitter (owner of a large company), and he's giving me 4 new tyres as part of his cost.

i own a scooby classic wagon, that has standard scooby wheels. The tyres on it now are 205/45/zr16 87W

I asked for some Goodyear Eagle F1's, he said that he cant get any in 87W, only 83W, and my car is too heavy for them? He also said that he wasnt sure my wheels were 16'', as the book says 14'' or 17''.

hes now struggling to find 4 toyo tr1's (or whatever theyre called), but he thinks he can get them by tues. He said he can do a deal on pirelli neros.

is he telling the truth in regards to weight issue?

what tyes do you peeps reccomend?


cheers

i think you know the answer mate

 

In a word - No!

83W equates to 487kg, (87W is 545kg). 487kg x4 =1948kg which is well under the kerb weight of a Scoob!

 

hmmmmm thought so.

so do i go for the toyos, the pirellis or the goodyears?

 

no the money!!!!

 

i need tyres anyway, and he said hed only go ahead with it (were installing a big gate on his driveway) if we offset the cost with tyres

 

double post

 

Well if it's justifiable to you then go ahead with the Toyo's. I'm no expert but I know I prefer Toyo's over others.

te eagles are the best tyres there, which is proably why he wont want you to have them... lol
