ive some ronal ls wheels and i need some advice on which tyres to go for.....eg.brand,size and which are the best please
You don't make a decision on tyres depending on the wheel lol.What size are the wheels, what type driving are you doing, how many miles are you doing etc.
not very many miles to be fair i have another car for work ..and at the moment it has yokohama tyres on 195/50/15 but they rub a bit was wondering if 195/45/15 would be better or anything else??
yip, profile = comfort haha, what type of driving you gonna be doing, i.e. are you a "spirited" driver that enjoys the b roads, or do you keep nice n calm?Do you drive it in the wet etc. Theres that many good tyres, that its more than likely that you will find one that more than meets your'e requirements.
I've had LS's, look great with 195/45's. As for Yoko's, never had a problem with them in the past, rain or shine, and I ragged the living crap into the golf I had at the time lol. Only problem was wear rates...........not very long!
I had Yoko A539's on my Civic and they were pretty good in both dry and wet.When they let go they were very progressive and easy to correct the slide.
A539's? I got them fitted with a set of 17's that I bought for the Civic, paid an extra 30 to get them instead of the Nangkangwingwangs they were originally supplied with.
Had A539's before, great tyre but no longer available. Burk76 - I was chatting to you recently about this, your 205-50-15 or maybe 195-50-15's were basically too high a side profile for your cars height and with the -25 offset of the LS's you're getting arch contact. 195-45-15 as said are the best size and look great on LS's, less 'bubbley' looking than 50's.
i recently got some kumho ku31 for mine. i read a lot of very good reviews. a very good budget performance tyre. im impressed with them so far
yeah i was seeing what make do people go for as ive been offered some nankangs in 19/45/15 at a resonable price some may go with them .....thanks foe=r the advice phil
Just nailed a set of Nankangs on the front, not a bad tyre on a budget. Other tyres I'd recommend from personal experience; Yoko A539's (can stil be got apparently, some retailers have stock left) Yoko Prada's - same if not just as good as the A539's I thought. Bf Goodrich Profiler G, great tyre, also discountinued but I got some recently from a mate that were just scrubbed in. Bridgestone Potenza RE720's. Have them on my RA's at the minute, great tyre, loads of wet grip although the sidewalls seem to be quite flexible, possibly cos of the 50 profile they have.
ive got kumho ku31... seem to be an amazing budget tyre so far. gonna swap front to back to make sure rears are worn in and then its time to really cane it
