beng120 Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Hi everyone,I've just bought some 15x6j g60 wheels on ebay to refurb and im just looking at tyres. I'm not too fussed about getting a major amount of stretch, but a little bit or just square sidewalls would be perfect. Certainly dont want any ballooning. Also, any suggestions for brand/model of tyre? I've had uniroyal rainsports on a previous car and they were fantastic.CheersBen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty_82 Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 I love it when people question the price of a product which is the only point of contact between them and the road 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beng120 Posted June 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 I love it when people question the price of a product which is the only point of contact between them and the roadif that was the case then why do tyres differ in price so vastly. A £25 tyre is still deemed as safe to drive on as a £60 tyre. I only question it as i wouldnt want to pay £50 a tyre just because they "look good on the wheels". When paying that much for something you expect a certain level of quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupoluke Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 I prefer the look of 195 45s on a 6J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beng120 Posted June 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 I wouldn't drive on a £25 tyreneither would i, but was making a point. ive paid 50 a tyre before and it was worth it, but ive known people to pay that and the tyres havent lasted.

beng120 Posted June 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 I prefer the look of 195 45s on a 6J.wouldnt a 195 give quite a bit of ballooning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beng120 Posted June 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Good tyres don't last.very true, but its finding a balance. I do quite a bit of mileage on country lanes commuting to work and it can get a bit slippery with even the slightest drizzle. really need something good in the rain that doesn't wear too quickly.

Karl_Mac_ Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Tight gits. Two new rear tyres for the ST have just cost me £130 each, and that was for mid range! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 wouldnt a 195 give quite a bit of ballooning?Nah they'll be pretty straight.The Yoko S-Drives that came on the loop are still going strong, some good tyres last Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James827 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 rainsports are good, but made of playdough.just put some toyo's on the GTD, il let you know how i rate then when there done. about to buy wheels with yoko Parada Spec 2's on. i imagine they are pretty grippy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfbr Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 195/45 15's are spot on on G60's. Putting a stretched tyre on a 6" wheel, Is like buying micro condoms to make you feel better about your tiny penis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
