Tire Choice?

[CraigR53]

A subject thats like asking 'Whats the best wax?'...
but my front to Runflats are about to end their life and I want to get rid of all of them all.

Im not looking to break the bank just want some decent tires.

Heard decent things about Kumos coming in about £77 a tire...

Had P Zeros on the front of my R56 last winter and they were good but were almost needing replaced at easter, wasn't too impressed with longevity.

Any input would be great :)

Iv got kumho ku39s on mine. Great grip

Think Pete has these and speaks highly of them

Changed to Kumho 39's after a decade of Pirelli run flats on the 17's & will probably fit them to the 18's at refurb time next year.

Well impressed thus far

[Craig]

Yeah Pete loves his KU39's and raves about them in all conditions.

I have Uniroyal Rainsport 3's on the Panda and I love them. For the cash they are tremendous in the wet (well we do live in Scotland! :) ) and I haven't had any issues with them in the dry :)

Cat has those tyres on her One too and says they are good, although compared with the Colway Sliders she had on previously that wouldn't be hard.
I've got Continentals on mine and love them. They are equally as good in the wet as they are in the dry and I'm happy to rate them very highly, Not too much road noise with them and they appeared to have lasted well through the punishment they've had. Think I'll be replacing them with like for like unless a deal springs up for something else :):)

I also run Uniroyal RS3's and they are by far the best tyres I've used. Contis would be my second choice but if you're looking for a tyre for every day it has to be the RS3's I can get all my power down in the wet with no issues, I honestly don't know how they can be so good for relatively little money.

For 17s, having read good things about them, I thought I had to try the Michelin Super Sports (made for the GP2). I had trouble believing just how much better then even the Contis they are - head and shoulders above everything else I've driven under all circumstances (though not brilliant in mud!). While they are expensive, I reckon they are the cheapest handling upgrade going. Probably not worth it for suburban use, but out in the country they are spectacular. Switching to winters this year is going to be a nasty shock.

Just to be clear ,GP2 did not come with MSS ,they came as standard with Kuhmo V700 tyres but in the USA you could chose normal road tyres

Thanks for the correction - the good thing that it was for the GP2 that Michelin were persuaded to make the Super Sports in a 'normal' size as almost all the other sizes are 18 and above in 25-40 aspect ratio, which include OEM use on some Porsches and Ferraris. And I'm not surprised as they feel good enough for that use.
