Tyres

Hey guys just wondering you buy your tyres from? I was looking for a quote on some eagle f1's or Goodyear Hydragrip's in 205/40(or35)/18? No one online seems to stock them?


Cheers

Dunno about online but try Tyrespot. There's a few around the NE area. They have a good stock and a fairly well priced. Got some Dunlop SP01's only £5 more expensive than on than on Mytyres

Cheers guys girlfriends dad will probably be able to get them for me it seems! Will 215/35/18 fit my JCW alloys ok?

I used to use my-tyres.co.uk, but after a bad experience I now use blackcircles.com

Yes

I am running Falken 215/35/18 on my GP.

Big improvement - note Speedo is 5 to 6% high compared to sat nav at German open road speeds

Cheers people will keep an eye on that snowie Are the falkens a good tyre?

I've used mytyres for a few years now with no issues but over suppliers are catching up on pricing. Used Falkens on other cars and they have been fine, I rated them higher than Yokohama but lower than Toyo's (on track use).

Snowie if your speedo is only overreading buy 5-6% it's pretty good most will over read by 10% as standard, there is no legal requirement for them to be accurate, iirc the only requirement is they don't underead. GPS Sat Navs are slighlty more accurate but if any incline or gradient is involved the become more inaccurate

Mark if you were me which tyres would you purchase for the 18 Jcw wheels? Would you go for the non runflats and 215/35/18 or something different?

Ive just replaced my front tyre's with 215/35/18 Goodyear Eagles F1's at £105 each fitted which is an awesome price when i was getting prices over £150 from other garages! This was not on JCW wheels it was on my Dare X4 Alloys.

This was at Canon Park Tyre Exchange in Middlesborough.

I couldnt really say as ive more or less always had these tyres and wheels, it is slightly harsh but when you fit lowering springs and the like for modifications then that comfortableness of goes out the window when you dont stop modifying for performance! Not that 18" wheels help performance.
