think my Eagle F1 GSD3's on my fronts will just last the winter then i'm going to need some new ones in the spring. I'm really impressed with my FK452's on the rear and even when i'm clowning around the back won't step out with TRC off

Phil01 what size do you have, i may buy it from you,
Hello mate, its a brand new never been fitted 215/45/17 :thumbup1:
Tyres. - Bandit - 04-08-2017
Marsdendean See my Falkens 452's seam to slip a fair bit.
BTW chris, what tyre pressures did you recommend all around??
Thanks
I had 33psi in all mine mate, 35 (WIM recommendation) felt a bit too hard for me and the car seemed to drive a lot better on the lower pressure?
but try a few mate to see how it feels to you

I have 35psi in mine on Dr Bones recommendation, only time i found the tyres slippy was after they had just been fitted coming out of the garage the back stepped out then pulling onto the main road, i held the slide so it must have looked pretty cool haha :thumbup1: but my backside was twitching like a rabbits nose lol

Bump: Need to replace the fronts now and can't afford newbies at the mo so after part worns again but can't get 215-45-17's in a pair anywhere, a couple of people suggested going 225 on the rear anyone got any thoughts on this, i'm not sure:blink:
Tyres. - steviewevie - 26-08-2017
What wheels do you have Andy, the OEM 5-spoke ones ? If so, they're 7" wide and you can run 225s if you really want, but that's not exactly ideal (that's about the max you can run on a 7" wheel). If you do, you probably want to go 225/45.
I have part-worn 215/45s on my old 5-spoke OEM wheels. You'd be welcome to them if you can somehow collect them from me and take them off the wheels.

Cheers Stevie, yes i've the OEM 5 spoke and would really prefer 215-45's will have to see if I can squeeze some cash out of somewhere and get some new ones.
Thanks for the offer of your part worns matey but'd cost me more in fuel to come down to you than it would to buy new tyres:laugh: cheers anyways tho:biggrin:

Marsdendean Ive got a part worn in the garage you can have. Its nearly illegal, but was told its got around .3mm left. But only got one. Its a michelin sport. It was going on my spare tyre, but if you want it, collect it!!
Cheers mate but need some that are gonna last a while, thanks for the offer tho:biggrin:
Off topic. PM me Dean if your still interested in the Sportcross bumper to see if we can sort some sort of deal out

Marsdendean No Problems. It may last you a few week if your really stuck. Why not stick the back on the front. I know it will be very slipery, but until you get the geo done your just going to kill tyres!
The backs are still very good do don't want to kill those and then have to get 4, i'll see if I can get another couple of weeks out of the fronts but they are right on the limit, hopefully the GEO will be done in a couple of weeks and I can treat myself to some newbies.

I've been running the original Toyo T1-s all round. No complaints and a good price aswell...
