Tyre advice needed

Zero-Cool

Hi,

I need to buy 4 new tyres for the spec 225 / 40 / 18

Only problem is i'm low on cash so need to go budget (I know I should be splashing out when it comes to tyres but I just can't at the moment)

Can anyone help with some advice on a good budget make to go for. So far am looking at Linglong's for 60 euro a tyre on eiretyres.com

Try looking online with Kwik Fit Tyres. I bought mine online with them recently and saved £30 a tire simply by booking online. I use Firestone tires and by booking in online, I got a price of £45 per tire. If I had gone in and made an appointment, they would have been £75 each!!!

If you can find someone who will fit them for you then camskill.co.uk will be the cheapest.

Any of the super cheap chinese sh1te just isn't worth it, thay are so bad its not even funny. Many of them are not 'e' marked either.

Thanks, some good cheap tyres on there as well!

What would yer opinion be on sceond hand (proper make) tyres? I was told stay well clear but i'm sure they couldn't be that bad as long as they had enough grip?

I used to use second hand tyres for drifting, some were perfect for road use but I wouldn't trust them unless I had checked them myself for damage/poor repairs etc.

Tyres and brakes are all that keep you on the road, don't skimp on tyres, avoid that cheap Chinese and Korean crap. Putting that crap on your car is as bad as not changing your current tyres.

If you cannot afford 4 decent tyres then look at replacing two now and maybe the other 2 a month or two down the road.

What car and how do you drive?
Most important to have decent contact with the tarmac.
I had Dunlops on my car ( 205/45/16 ) = 135 each
I now have 2 Sonar Tyres on the front and trust me..I was quite surprised with the amount of grip they have.. I would not be vervous in the rain with them pushing along nicely.
oh yeah
The important part.. 150 for the two ...!!
Got them at Rathcormac Tyres . in Co.Cork;)

Worth a phone call..
