Title: tyres
Post by: meady on May 04, 2012, 08:31:16 pm: my car is going to need some new tyres soon but as i am moving house in the next 4 weeks money is tight. Unfortunatly this means i cant splash out on tyres but i still dont want to put some s**t rubber on the car.

What do you all make of avon tyres as they are well priced and i have had them in the past and they seemed good but on a less powerful car.

If anyonme has any feedback or recomendations would be great, cheers

Post by: meady on May 05, 2012, 10:57:22 am: I dnt really have a budget as such. Ive been looking on blackcircles and they seem to be averaging £100 a corner fitted so anything around tht kind of price realy. Cheers

The uniroyal rainsport 2's are a good budget choice and live up to their name in the wet!

Post by: Oli on May 05, 2012, 08:47:09 pm: The ZZ3's are an awful tyre, very skittish and no grip on the road. The ZV5 are far better, I fitted them to my wife's old GT Sport, and it always felt very secure whatever the weather :happy2:
