lesarcsneil 0 Posted October 30, 2003 195/50 R15 make sure you get the GSD3's and not the older GSD2's. The newer tyres have a stiffer sidewall. neil 94 Flash Red 16v Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The trouble with the cheaper tyres (on-line dealer) is that you'll still need to get them fitted/balanced. By the time you work out the extra cost it's not actually that much cheaper :( (unless you know the place that's going to fit them and get 'mates rates' :lol:) DtM.

davidwort 0 Posted October 30, 2003 I got 4 F1's (195-50-15's) last year (older tread pattern) and they have been great, they're on 15 inch borbets which are 7inch wide rather than the standard C's 6.5inch rims, seems to give a bit more control of the sidewalls, absolutely piddle on the Yokos I had before in the wet :D David. 195/50 R15 make sure you get the GSD3's and not the older GSD2's.

andycowuk 0 Posted October 30, 2003 I have seen some goodyear F1's for 45-55 quid on a website. There is a tyre shop in edinburgh that sells 195/50/15 for £47 inc fitting/balanceing/new valves. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matt buz 0 Posted October 30, 2003 hmmmmm seems like i will have to shop around abit more. Really not sure on what to get. Saying that anything is better then what I have got. I think the lad I bought it off chucked on a couple of cheap ones to get it through the MOT in order to sell it to me.......and I dont blame him. I live in Leeds so if anyone knows anywhere around here that could do me a good tyre/deal then that would be great. Cheers for all replies Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

steveo29 0 Posted October 30, 2003 when phoning around for tyres..ask how 1 is,if they say £55 each ,i always go "can you do 4 for a disc?" usually they haggle a bit Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bally 0 Posted October 31, 2003 seen a few adverts in magazines that do mail order on tyres, but as some people have mentioned once you've paid to have them fitted etc it all adds up... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
