The car currently has Dunlop SP sport run flats. 205/45/17
They don't have a whole lot of life left and are simply complete crap.
So I'm looking to ditch the run flats to start with but what are good tires to go for, I want a good all rounder wet and dry.
I have heard Michelin pilot sports are good ?
Also What are you lads doing that have dumped the run flats encase of punctures.
I had dunlop sp sports is well around two years ago and they are shocking in the wet I hated them
At that tyre size at least they wont cost you an arm and a leg id be going for ps2/ps3 or contisport contact 5 if you can darran
Ditch the runflats and buy a plugger kit and a mini air compressor
Thanks Gar.
I have been looking at compressors and plug kits and they will do the job.
Im Hearing great things about the PS3 tires. Ill have to get them priced soon.
The ps3's are 20 quid cheaper then the contis http://www.camskill.co.uk/m54b0s13p102191/Michelin_Tyres_Car_Michelin_Pilot_Sport_3_-_205_40_R17_84W_XL_TL_Fuel_Eff_%3A_F_Wet_Grip%3A_A _NoiseClass%3A_2_Noise%3A_71dB
If your funds are low pirelli p zeros and uniroyal rainsport 2's come in around the 70/80 pound mark
Ill have a look at them all when I have the cash in a few weeks and see which suits the budget. don't really want to cheap out on them though.
No point cheaping out in that size the savings are tiny buy the best you can afford keep that little beast on the road and out of the ditch
That's the plan, ;) its demon in corners but since I got the extra 40-50hp if I touch the accelerator in a corner at all the traction control kicks in. :mad: Dosnt help that its FWD
Michelin Pilot Super Sport.
Best tyre I've ever experienced.
They dont make them in the size he needs thoughQuote:

Just realised he needs a 45 profile not a 40 ,all them links above I posted are useless darran :D
Super sports would be overkill IMO. Ps3's would be my first choice
The PS3s seem to be coming in around €170 each is that about right ?
