Best 16' tyres for £50?

[Davyy]

Just wondering, can you get a decent tyre for 50? Need two front for my new car, sp just wondering what are good for that price? Possibly slightly more of i can afford.

[Gordzilla]

I just had a quick look on Blackcircles.com and most good tyres for 16" are around £60-£75 delivered, not fitted. So no, I don't think you'll get a rated tyre for £50.

Id snap a couple of these up at this price,

All the star ratings seem pretty good, how many miles would they last roughly? Obviously it is a hard guess, but I do a good 300milea a week.

would these be any good for track mate?

To go on a 172 btw, so a performance fwd car needs good tyres obvs.. but still trying to be on a small budget. Cheers

T1Rs are an ok tyre, good in dry conditions but poor in wet. Poor on track, struggle to grip. I tried them on my track car just to see how they'd cope as they are currently my road tyres. I wouldn't use them for track

[lukebeard]

best budget track tyre then? to fit a set of cyclones

I run T1Rs on a 182, fine in the dry take it steady in the wet. By no means is it a track day tyre though. Hankook v12s are supposed to be good and reasonably priced, but you wont be getting a decent tyre for £50 a corner at 16" no way

[Davyy]

I want just road tyres, fairly good and long useage,

[Davyy]

Okay thanks mate, Hancook have come up quite a lot, not too much over my budget so may stretch it abit

It's not something I'd advise on. I've done track days for 5 years and wouldn't recommend using a low level tyre. You can often pick up part worn tyres that will benefit you a lot more than new ' budget ' tyres.

Tyres, brakes and suspension are the things I concentrate on for track.

the federal track tyres are supposed to be decent enough, and a good bit cheap than the usual £100+ of r888s and a048s

Fuck them Toyo's off, worst tyre I've ever had.

I'd go with THESE (http://www.camskill.co.uk/m62b0s344p106705/Hankook_Tyres_Car_Hankook_K110_Ventus_V12_Evo_Hank ook_K_110_-_205_45_R16_87W_XL_TL_Fuel_Eff_%3A_C_Wet_Grip%3A_C _NoiseClass%3A_2_Noise%3A_70dB), always hearing good things.

[Davyy]

Ive also heard a lot of good reviews. Not too expensive but still a bit pricey, think i will stretch to that though

[rey]

I wish I paid £67 per tyre!

My last pair cost me ~£300 inc. tracking.

[Davyy]

Ouch, apprenticeship wages :'(

Im ordering some Dunlop Direzza Star Specs at £141 each before fitting.

Federal rsr are good and around £92 irc

Then below them Uniroyal Rainsport 2s at £72 each.

Pe2.


/thread.

They were developed for the 18poo's and were o.e fit, great tyre, long lasting, grippy in the wet to boot.

2x RE040's, +fitting, +tracking, came to just shy of £300..
