Went to Wales today to pick up a set of VTR wheels for the Paxo. There is mint cond but i wanna put some new tyres on as one has 2mm left and 3 have 3mm left. What are the best tyres to get? Might be a stupid question to ask but i've never had to change tyres before

Get new tyres - they're better than old ones.

What about the 275/35's on the offside then 195/50s on the nearside - keeps the rolling radius correct so you're speedo's still accurate.

as liverpool to swansea in one hour would mean you'd be flat out in a 173.9mph car all the way!

MOLD, FLINTSHIRE. It took 55 minutes on the way back sticking to the speed limits. Bearing in mind there was a 40MPH speed limit on the M53 because of road works so would have been a lot less if those fuckers where not there.

They have Michelin Pilot SX GT on as standard? I'd go for them again tbh, not a bad tyre at all.

expensive tyre though.


Cheap Nankang EX500
mid priced Bridgestone Potenza RE 720
high end EAGLE F1 GS-D2

I use the RE720 on my GT and they are very good on grip

That's what is on now Was hoping to swop them for the Michelin Energy ones i've got on now on the steelies as they are 14s too. I think these VTR wheels are wider though so i'll prob go for Michelin Pilot SX GT ones again. Have to get some quotes
