Which Tyres ?

grr · 03-14-2011, 06:41 AM

One of my tyres has got a slow puncture. As it is a runflat I guess it can't be repaired so ....

my set has done 25,000 miles and I would be quite keen to replace the runflats as I think the ride is dreadful.

I've currently got 216 style alloys with (F) 225/40/R18 (R) 255/35/R18

What is my best option ?

falken 452's if you want something reasonable quality and reasonable price.

Get Vred's for bit more performance and bit more £££

New Conti's SP5 ( i think) its really good aso people say but will cost £££.

Falken's good price @ www.camskill.co.uk

Vred's good price @ www.tyremen.co.uk

As long as the puncture is in the middle part of the tyre it could be repaired. It may also be worth checking that your alloy hasn't got a hairline crack in it which is causing the loss of pressure. From reading on here this seems to happen on the inside edge of the rim.

Falken seems to be the tyre of choice if not wanting to spend too much money.

Just before our car corked it, i stuck Uniroyal Rainsport 2's on and I have to say, back to back with the Conti SC3's.....they are bloody good
