andyollie Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Had Bridgestone S03's on my 19'' wheels and only lasted 7500 miles, all be it the car get thrashed into corners, i was still dissapointed how badly they lasted.

kite Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 I have Goodyear F1's on the A4, good grip in the wet and dry but I find them a little noisy. P rosso's on the TT, good grip, very low tyre noise. I think I'm gonna try rosso's on the A4 next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimLoskot Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 I find the pirelli's wear down too quickly and have poor grip in the wet. Also there too expensive Goodyear eagle F1 GSD3's all the way for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbcuprat Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Pirelli Pzero Rosso's have just been replaced and have done 26k on a set of 4. Bought another set. Borderline dangerous when worn down, no grip in the wet. New set are very good forgot that it actually handled well in both wet and dry. Tyres cost £540 for a set of 4. 234/45/18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AH101 Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 Micheldever can usually beat BlackCircles....usually by quite a large amount http://www.micheldever.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weewizard69 Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 I have read some people having succes with Falken 452's. Not read any review on here yet though related to that tyre. If they are what they say they are then you can get a set of 235/40R18 for £324.88 inc shippment. >> <font color="red">Please take a look here << </font> Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbithal Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 Not sure where you are, but if you're close to Bracknell, then give Bracknell Tyre and Battery a call. I got 4 x 235/40/18 Dunlop SP9000's for £416 fitted, cheapest I could find anywhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnlondonw3 Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 How do the Dunlops compare to the Falken 452s ( dont mean price but in overall performance) Kris if you buy the falkens from Blackcircle itll cost £432.26 for 4[ QUOTE ] Not sure where you are, but if you're close to Bracknell, then give Bracknell Tyre and Battery a call.

rbithal Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 Never had the Falkens, but I'm happy with the Dunlops. I find them superior to the P zero's that they replaced... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblanc Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 If you are buying from black circle make sure you use the promotion code "Swinton1" to get a discount of 7% Note: this code was printed in Swinton insurance leaflets but there is no usage restrictions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
