i need some new front tyres for the z. ive done some home work and it seems that bridgestone potenza so2's are are good bet, but they are really hard to get hold of. Any others suggesstions would be much appriciated.

Falkens, id stay away from Bridge stone potenza's, i have them on mine and hit a central reservation barrier recently while driving normally when the rear stepped out on me. also when i first got the car, i was bring it back down the M11 and went to overtake a lorry and the wheels span in 4th doing 60mph. so its either my tyres / suspension, or a mix of the two.

Falken 452's i love them and im on my 4th set. just orderd some for the vec last night aswell lol!!!

 

Ive had bridgestone and good year on the zed and i hated them in the wets. my mates said the same with there type r's

thanks, i need to be avoiding central reservations as much as possible!! what falcons?

great thanks guys

Toyo Proxis or Perrelli Pzero, Only tyres I will buy for the zed

Falken 452's have better grip in the wets than the proxis but there isnt much in it.

 

proxis are about £20 a tyre dearer and ware down quicker. thats why i opt for the falkens now :)

If you have deep pockets then you cannot go wrong with the new Goodyear F1 asymetrics.

 

They have been voted the best performance tyre in many comparison tests; second best was the Continental Sport Contact 3....

 

I have the Goodyears on my ZX and the Contis on my SLK - both are superb in all wet/dry conditions; even during "sprited" driving....
