Anybody got any preferences for a particular tyre brand in the standard 175/60 13 tyre size please? I've been looking to replace a pair of perished Dunlops and there isn't much choice available locally..Seems to come down to either Firestones (which ,personally I wouldn't risk on a wheelbarrow!) Falken ZE912's,or Toyo Proxes CF-1's although there was mention of Yokohama A048-r's (which are trackday type tyres)
What do you reckon is the best bet for all-round capability?
Peter.
most people say yoko a539 if you can get them (they phasing that size out) or toyo proxes.
Not a lot of choice in 175 60 13 to be honest.
Sorry to hijack but im looking at tyres too, i just got some bbs ra's in 14". What tyre size out of 185x50 or 195x45?
And what tyre make? I was thinking proxes t1r or how ever it is spelt.
not a HUUUGE difference in 185 50 14 and 195 45 14, I'd suggest it depends on rim/drop/use of yr car.
RAs on stock or slightly lowererd and you like yr car to be comfty as the roads are sh1t - 185 50 14.
very high power, very low, then maybe 195 45 14
Cool, my car is not been lowered..yet but it is something to take in mind. Engine is pretty much standard as well. Thanks pete.
