Tyre Choice ANNOYED- anybody replaced 19" tyres yet?

19 milano · 16th May 2008, 15:36

My car has just been in for warranty work and has come out with a gouge in the side wall of a tyre! Unfortunately I didn't notice until I got home. The dealer is currently looking into it but I'm not holding my breath!

So my question is this. Has anybody replaced the tyres on their rage wheels? If so what did you go for? I have found all the tyres I think are available in this size (225/35/19). I would apprciate any opinions you have on these tyres, in particular dry grip, wet performace and wear. The price is not that important, I would rather have a good tyre.

Avon ZZ3 £115
Toyo Prozy T1-R £148
Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 £149
Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetrical £158
Yoko S.drive £159
Conti Sport Contact 3 £162
Yoko Parada Spec 2 £170
Yoko Advan Sport £170 (original tyres)
Bridgestone Potenza RE 050 A £172
Pirelli P Zero Rosso £177
Pirelli P Zero Nero £183
Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 £208

TOYO TYRES / CAR / TOYO T1R PROXES TOYO T1 R - - Car Tyres - MPV Tyres - People Carrier Tyres - R19" - 225/35/19, 225/35 R 19 -

£122.80 each. I've run theses on multiple trackdays and road use. Value for money and great grip.

another vote for toyos here

19 milano · 16th May 2008, 15:47

Cheers for the reply. I forgot to mention all those prices include fitting.

I've heard the grip is good but are the toyos any good on wear?

My dealer has just got back to me and they're not paying for the tyre. Instead they offered £50 off my next 2 services as a goodwill gesture. Really useful as I bought the 5 yr servicing pack with the car!!!

Wouldn't know about longevity of tyres as I'm on my 5th set in a year!

Typical. That....the Toyos are meant to be good from what i've heard. I do love the Yoko's but they do seem to have an issue with the outsides looking like you've got a tracking issue.

I know what you mean. I thought they were loking a bit bald but there's lots of tread in the middle. I think they are like this from new.

Mrs Stella, is happy to bits driving her new Ka. She just got a new kitchen and I've just completed the garden for her. Be under no misunderstanding.... if Mrs Stella says it won't happen.... it doesn't.

That was the pic I was thinking of. I had originally typed that they do a good Zebra impression as Stalla says in the ABP thread but you've added it here. Good job

Thats good going!
I will only ever use mine on a road and therefore grip and wear are the most important things. Do tyres act differently on a track or is it a good guide to how well they last/perform on road?

Tyre are subjected to a different kind of abuse whilst on the track. Tyres that are suitable for track are certainly not the best for the roads. Look at Toyo R888's road legal slicks, yet a smidging of rain and you would be like Bambi on Ice. Additionally, tyre pressures are different whilst on the track. A proven tyre on the track will test its grip levels and lend themselves to performance ability claims. Longevity of tyres are down to compound, the harder the compound the longer the tyre lasts, but as a trade off against grip, as grip is generated from soft compound. Tyre manufactures have to strike a fair balance between both, but cater for the masses by producing different compound variants of each tyre. IE Toyo Proxis TR1, TS1, 4's. Its then down to the consumer to select the tyre that suits their driving need.

cheers guys.
However I have found what I think are good prices for tyres. What I really need is your opinions on the tyres so I can decide which brand/model to go for next.

illegalhunter · 17th May 2008, 00:05

Where did you get these prices?

19 milano · 17th May 2008, 02:01

there the best from all different websites.

Very very happy with my Conti Sport Contact 3s (in 225/45R17 guise). Dry and wet grip (once broken in) is excellent, the tyres are very progressive and tracking is superb. Wear rate seems really excellent so far - I've only lost 0.5mm of rubber on the fronts over 1500 miles of reasonably hard driving in my type-s, so this bodes well for getting close to 20,000 miles.
