Tyres - Whats best? - Sparkystav - 16-10-2018
Right as the snows coming and my back tyres are at just below 2mm it time for a change.
Whats do people recommend? obviously theres a fair bit of grunt going through the back so after something with decent grip.

summer i say take hankook k107, i run 225/30/20" and they are great. good in the wet and great grip. for the money i think they are better that conti or michelin.

Jay I think Stav might be asking about winter tyres , and you are the man in the know for that :whistling:

winter tyres i say conti cvc5. i run them, 225/40/18 and the grip from them is super glue on the road with ice and snow. here is a pic of my winter wheels with them on and my new brakedisks.

conti viking contact 5. with all the tyres i have had on over the winters these are by far the best ever. even under braking they do not slide or lose traction.

I am trying Goodyear Eskimo 225/45/17 during this winter on the standard lexus wheels, so far so good today :wink:
During the summer I have had both Toyo Proxes T1r and Falken 452, both are good tyres to be fair 225/40/18 i would aire to the Toyo's for a bit stickier rubber..

I'm not particularly after a winter tyre, its just with low tread left on the ones on the car dont seen the most sensible idea.
After something thats grippy and reliable

My Toyo T1R's haven't let me down yet. Isn't that what you've got at the moment Stav ?
