vworks41 Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 I need to order some tyres in the next hour or so and need some peoples opinions.I have a choice between Dunlop sp sport 9000, Toyo proxes TR1, conti contact sport2.I normally run conti's and have done for many years, but im swaying towards the toyo's because theyre cheaper.Whats the Toyo wear factor like? and how do you rate the dunlops also?

db Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 I'd go for the Conti's, the Toyos are pap on a lupo and i've never been a fan of the dunlops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike_M Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 I got about 22k miles (almost 2 years) out of my full set and just changed the fronts.....rears still have several thousand miles left. That is rotating every 7k miles or soThey have really good grip personaly and for the money can not complain at all. My mate has a set on his Scooby and loves them also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just could'nt strech to conti's Got them for £273 fitted and balanced, plus there in town so theres no hassle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
academic Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 what were the dunlops that came on the gti as standard?on mytyres.co.uk there are Sp Sports 2000E's in 205/45 r15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossjohnc Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 The SP2000s came as standard in 205/45/15 but really aren't much cop compared to the only other tyre available in that size (Toyo T1R) in my opinion. Mike said he rotated his tyres - sounds sensible as the left does tend to wear quicker I think it depends on who you are and how you drive, but I doubt many people would see 20k on the front with a pair of T1Rs. They're well worth the money over the dunlops though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
academic Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 yeah got toyo's last time and they are ok. they are about 9k old and need replacing within a few more thousand. £58.10 aint a bad price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
