Tyres.

[motobruce]

What tyres are you people running?

I know ur prob all gonna take the piss and say dnt use the accelerator so much etc etc, but every time i try and accelerate hard (not off the mark, when all ready rolling) and its a bit wet my car just spins and spins in 1st 2nd and some times 3rd gear! Its really frustrating!

I tried chasing my mate in his tyre-r civic the other day and he just gripped right through the rev range and i was hanging seriousley behind trying to stop spinning! Its just a standard vts running 14" vtr wheels with some radial cheap brand tyres well i think they are as ive never herd of them before (NEXEN Radial 2000). I am going to swap the wheels for some vts ones eventualy if i can find some localy for that extra bit of width and better looks.

I was just wondering if anyone has tried any more expensive tyres and had good results? Im fitting a spax psx suspention kit to my car when it arrives, this may sound silly but i am hoping it will help a little by stoping the weight transfer to the rear so much (When it looks like its trying to wheelie!).

Cheers peeps.

I've got Falken ZE512's on at the mo and they are surprisingly good for an inexpensive tyre. Also got a set of Contis and some T1R's for my smaller wheels which I've yet to try out

Yokohama 048R in a medium compound. Don't work brilliantly when cold but warm up quicker than the 032R

There is a lot of talk about these being rubbish in the wet but I was lapping Castle Combe in a torrential downpour faster than people on good quality road tyres on one of the Rally days early last year. Only aquaplaned once and that was because I hit an inch of water at 120mph.

Toyo's without a doubt.

[Barry123]

michelins
conti's
nankang - or some bollocks like that

Michy's for me.

[Richardson_VTS]

I've got Nankang Sport's atm. But thinking of changing them.

[Connor_scotland]

[kerrie603314]

[David]

I'm running on Falkens... Seem to do me well, but it's all i've ever known tbh...

[VTS_16v_Boy]

on my 15' S rims Ive got michelin on the front and Kumos on the rears.

But in the summer Im going over to 14' Rallye rims and Im going michelin all round

[thadogg]

I've got the Champiro's on mine they came with the car, and to be honest I don't rate them. I had toyos on my last car and thought they were good!
