What are people using these days? I need some.

 

I always liked fallen 452's but they don't sell em these days so I'm wondering what people use. Not after the most expensive in the world like

I've used Goodyear eagle asym 2s on mine and they were really good.

I agree Goodyear Eagle F1 asymmetrics. More expensive than Falkens Lee but so worth it for their wet performance alone.

Pirelli PZEROS a close second just as good as the Eagles in the dry but the eagles just edge them in the wet in my experience. Also the Pirellis don't clear the arches as well as the Eagles I have had 265 PZEROS on the back and they rub but the eagles have a different sidewall shape and clear ok. I hear good things about the continental sport contacts too.

I have found mid range tyres to not be a great choice for the zed in the wet having had a few close moments using Toyo's in the past so i now just go straight for the F1 Eagles the car will thank you for it.

I'm using Continental sport contact 5's... Really happy with them in the wet and dry too!!

I have Bridgestones on the front & Nankangs on the back.

When I got the z it had the same set up so I just changed them last year for the same.

Pirelli's on mine,holds the road well in the wet to:)

Thanks everyone. Bit of food for thought here. Will have to look through the pricing, I have 275/35/18's which seems a pricy size anyway

If you want to stick with Falkens the 453 replaced the 452.

 

Eagle assym 2's seem to be a good price at the moment as the assym 3 came out a little while back. Personally hate Pirelli's. Had P zero rosso's on my first Z and they were aweful in the wet.

 

If you can stil find Bridgestone S02's then snap them up, amazing tyre, by far the best I've had.... Sadly they don't make them any more'and the replacements were just sooooo soft it wasn't worth buying them

I guess it's a cost v benefit thing. I only do around 3k a year at the minute but I would use the car in any weather and I don't horse the car around.

 

I found the 452's a good all rounder for the cost, so that's what I'm after, something good but doesn't have to be the best out there if that makes sense.

I have three falken 453 tyres spare that came of my broken zed I could sell.

 

But they are 19's.

 

Full tread and have less than 800 miles on them.

Mine are 18s unfortunately but thanks mate

Pirelli P7 cinquecento blue here. around £100 each and have a really good rating for economy and noise

I always ran the Toyo Proxes T1R...very good tires

Would a 265 tire fit?

 

I have antera 309's and the rear wheel Is 10" wide

Have a look at these as you wanted mid priced performance tyres. I've found that they

are really rather good tyres (coming from Bridgestone SO2 and Toyo T1S).

 

I just changed to Yokohama advan sports after reading alot of positive comments on them.

Nope, but they're damn awesome in the dry!

They don't seem to sell bigger than a 255 in an 18"

 

Edit: found some, just not in the likes of camskill

What you looking to spend buddy?

I don't really have a price in mind, maybe around £250 ish - less if I can help it lol

In 275/35/18 you could have

 

Hankook Ventus s1 £256.60

Toyo T1S £240.80

Falken FK453 £222.80

But if you have Hankooks up front, I'd personally go for the matching set

Doh my maths failed me there, Hankooks would be £251.60

I can't recommend anything......... My Z is wearing cheap skate ditch finders......

Michelin Pilot Sport 4s.

 

I've had Continentals and Pirellis, but these are the best in wet and dry.
