Joe M 0 Posted June 9, 2003 i know a few people here are running them and I want to know what you think. Ive had a set fitted for over a week now (standard size) and think there a bit crap. They are controllable on the limit but dont have the outright grip of the Falkens/Pirellis I had on previously. They also seem to cause the car to wander under heavy breaking (although this could be down to some parts that are due to be replaced). Anyone else find this or is it just me? Good for the price though I suppose. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeVR6 0 Posted June 9, 2003 Nah, I think they're great. Especially in the wet! :evil: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
20valver 0 Posted June 9, 2003 I think they are the best I've used, again especially in the wet :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joe M 0 Posted June 9, 2003 Ill admit there great in some ways, especially scaring passengers. Will see how they are after I get my axle bushes, top mounts and engine mounts done. (car goes in tommorow.) :? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rpmayne 0 Posted June 9, 2003 Anyone know how much a complete set of 205 50 VR15 toyos cost? Would you rate them above yokohama A539's? I've always had yokohama tyres on my cars and have been very pleased (used to cost £35 per tyre 195 50 R15 so the heavy wear didn't matter too much). Have recently got a quote for 253.00 delivered on the yoko's. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Henny 0 Posted June 9, 2003 Have recently got a quote for 253.00 delivered on the yoko's. HOW MUCH?!? I just paid £160 for a pair of 205/45/16 A539s FITTED from Demon Tweeks inc new valves and the like... I think they were dishing them out at £65each + P&P once I'd battered him about a bit! :wink: Dunno about the proxies though, I've only ever fitted Yok's to my cars... The 509s were supersticky in the dry, but, BOY, did they suck in the wet! The 520s were better in the wet, but wore out WAY too quickly... The 539s are the best they've done so far for use in all conditions... :) I remember 195/50/15 A539s being sub £50 each when I had my first C... Then again, that was 5 years ago now... :? :shock: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

too hot 0 Posted June 10, 2003 Joe M, I had them on a golf for a while and the only real problem I found with them was they were a bit soft and tended to wear quite quickly,good grip though. :) :mrgreen: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joe M 0 Posted June 17, 2003 Think they just had too bed in a bit more, now I have no complaints. For the price I think I would definately get them again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
longman 0 Posted June 17, 2003 you could use http://www.topgear.co.uk as someone on this site mentioned a while ago about tyres, they are very cheap. i use yokohamas and i think i will be trying something else next time as i am not too impressed with them.
