v6tas Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 I have to get 4 corners pretty soon. I cant afford to replace with the same Pilot sport 2's i have on at the moment. Anyone running cheaper tyres that they would recommend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32Ash Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 I've got Avons on at the moment and I can't say anything bad about them. Unless you're driving hard on the road or doing a lot trackdays I don't honestly think you'll notice a huge difference between any of the major brands. If you need a supplier for just about any brand, Camskill offer great prices and free next-day delivery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brisel Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Heard lots of good things about: Toyo Proxies Falken Cooper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan32 Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Not much difference in price between the Proxes T1-Rs at £102 and the Michelin PS2s at £123. I've got Pirelli PZero Neros on the CHs and they are £115 in 18". Wouldn't bother with 'budget' tyre as its going on a car capable of 156mph! My Michelin PS2s were best and lasted for ages although Pirellis standing up well to abuse. Might be worth shopping about on internet for deal price for 4 (I googled for my prices above and only based on 1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v6tas Posted December 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Thanks as ever for all your input. I do take your point Dan with regards budget tyres but i cannot affort 500+ notes on Michellins or similar this time around. I obviously wont go for any of the real budget ones but im hearing good things about the Avon tyres and they are sensibly priced in between Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L3LGH Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 I had Avon's on my MkIV Turbo a couple of years back and thought they were very noisey. Dont know if they still like that but wouldnt be in a rush to get them again. You cant short change on a set of cheap boots. After all they keep your pride and joy on the road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogdan Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Try Dunlop SP Sport Maxx. They are ok performance wise, ok for noise and a lot cheaper than Michelin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachel Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 I just put 4 new bits of rubber on the .:R32 last week. Grabbed another set of Yokohama Advan V103 (225/40R18 92Y) for $380 fitted/balanced on each corner. They are excellent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went for them as much because they were in stock and available for next-day a.m. delivery, as much as anything. From what I've found so far, they don't really seem different to the Michelins they replaced. I personally wouldn't go for the very low-end brands, but if you read the many and various tyre tests that crop up regularly, it's not always the top names that come out best.
