hi ... im bout a month away from needing to replace all my tyres ,any recomendations please???
car ed30 dsg
stg 2
full miltek
evoms

Michelin PS3 without shadow of doubt.
I've used all the top ones on my Stage 2+ vRS and PS3 are definitely the best when it's wet in my experience.
A lot quieter too and treadware rating of 320 is better than most so you will get food mileage out of them.
Had the PS3 on mine now for about 3 months and they are defo way ahead of any other tyre ive used :happy2:

nice one carl , going to have ring round today.
how much should i be paying ?????
-
Dunno?
I paid just over £400 but I have 17's
I don't know if michelin are still doing the 25% off of you buy 4 tyres offer.
Basically when I got mine from ATS Euromaster Michelin had an offer where if you bought 4 tyres you got 25% off so basically paid for 3.
If you have 18's, which having an ED30 I would say you do, then you are prob looking around the £500 mark.
Best bet is to ring round and play people off against each other. Also try camskill as you may be able to get 4 tyres delivered and then pay someone local to fit them which could work out cheaper. :happy2:

cheers for response :happy2:

Rip their hands off.
That's a very good price for 18's
-
looking at the season approaching you need winter tyres, no more no less. :smiley: i plan on buying Vredesteins wintertyres, only tyre rared to 300km/h, :driver:
-
i have ps3 and rate them very highly
that is also a very good price
cheapest i found was £140 a corner, kwik fit wanted £196 a tyre just to show how good a price that is

Costco???
Their prices are usually good.
-
Make sure the £119 ones are the right load rating. 92Y not 88Y .

I presume 91Y are OK though (for 17s)?

Vreddestein Ssesanta Ultrac's(Asym's) , near on par with the Ps3's for around £90 a corner.
Pretty looking tyres with a soft compound, very quiet and cope well with my stage 2 ed30.
-
No where as good in the wet though Steve. I went from Vred Sessanta's to PS3 and whilst dry performance is on par, in the wet the PS3 is waaaay better.
All my opinion of course :smiley:
-
I havent had Ps3's, but in the wet , i tend not to want to boot it as much :wink:
:happy2:
-
Same here but i just found that i have more grip in the wet :happy2:
-
There are some R1R's in the for sale section, get them :happy2:

i know really tempted,love the tread pattern on them they look the boll#ks...!!
just little concerned with autum/winter coming up might be a little slippey slidey :driver:
-
I've not used them but can't imagine you'll have too much trouble as long as you drive to the conditions... :smiley:
-
Anyone still on the Conti's? What sort of mileage should we get out of the front ones on a ED30?
TIA... :happy2:
-
I've just bought 4 Falken 452's :sick: to replace my conti's.
Not fitted them yet as I've too much on, but ill post my results. :party:
My conti's seem to be made of phillidelphia cheese spread though, not sure if it is just me and my led boot, or they are actually poor wearers ( and poor power putter-down-ers) They seem to light up even in 3rd/4th, and its only stage 1
-
ive got goodyear eagle f1 asymmetric ive never torque steered once in the wet on the way out a roundabout but my car is only at stage 1 so i dont know how good they are with stage 2 anyway camskill have them for £110 http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php?plid=m61b0s134p12746
-
Had the Falkens fitted.
They are pretty good in the dry and the damp :)
Not tried them in the pouring rain yet, but so far im v.pleased.
:happy2:
