Dilemma Re: Tyres on my 182......Opinions please gang

[DaveTrophy]

Just had 2 new PE2s fitted today.

I thought the old ones were doing reasonably well considering how worn they were, UNTIL I fitted the new ones, then I realised how crap the old ones actually were lol.

74 quid each I got them for.

The tread wear indicators are usually at 2mm IIRC, then 1.6 is the legal limit.

Old PE2's to new PE2's is a night and day difference... I'm going to get my tyres replaced on Monday and an currently debating the PE2/parada choice, having had yoko's on previous car and really liked them. Still 50/50 as to which I'll go for!

:?

Now I'm really stumped!!!

A provided a friend with a MCS with a full set of new Paradas & he said he was shocked how much grip they offer in the dry :twisted:

The PE's were good before they went off so dunno whether to try something new or try again with fresh PE's :?:

buy another set of wheels get paradas fitted to one set, pe2's to the another, run them back to back and sell the set that you don't want for a profit.

:lol: If I had the money I'd treat myself to a set of Trophy Turini's. but funds won't allow it @ the mo & don't think the missus will be too impressed either tbh.

Swaying to the Paradas more & more for some reason.....

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Right - I've gone with the Paradas.

If worst comes to the worst I can sell em on & go back to PE's.

I will let you know my thoughts after the weekend gang.

Thanks again for all your help :wink:

I thought Speedline Corse's were only about £150 each? Is that expensive for wheels? I don't know.

That is because the MCS comes with run-flats as standard which are crap. So anything is going to be an improvement on them! My other half had a MCS BTW before I get the question about whether I've driven a MCS with run-flats! And yes, they really were crap (but not as bad as the seats which had no support at all).

O.

The Turini's are only £160ish each with VAT iirc, but that on top of tyres would be alot to shell out for this month (Too many social events going on).

Something I may look @ later on :wink:

I had to buy new tryes for mine as soon as i bought it about 6 weeks ago. I went for the PE's, they're not cheap, but hey... Glad i just got em now
