rear tyre choices.

[ben g]

Well my rears are slick on the inside and on the markers elsewhere, so I think they're due to be changed

I've done some price comparisons and these are the tyres i've found:

Kumho ku39 - budget, £280 fitted for 2. Any good?

Falken 453 - mixed reviews, £300 for 2. Seem to get good reviews on here but mostly bad elsewhere.

hankook v12 evo 2 - a lot of good reviews but never really heard of them before. £366 for 2.

Goodyear eagle f1 asymmetric 2 - £370 for 2, expensive but I know these are fantastic as I have them on my OEM wheels.

The size is 255/30/19.

Are there any other tyres I should be looking at? I've had Vredestein ultrac sessantas before but couldn't find them at a decent price.

Cheers.

Sessantas were available on event-tyres last week at £312 for two fully fitted... I am on the hunt too. Also been recommended Avon ZZ5s, cheaper. Not made the decision yet though. Oh, and inkey$ recommended Khumo Ecsta - apparently they are fitted as standard to Mercs nowadays ???

There's a thread started by me recently with lots of opinions - think it's in the wheels & tyres section....

Just checked, about 10 threads down from yours

Just checked event tyres. Extortionate price in my size

My heart wants to go for the goodyears, but my heads saying it's not worth the extra

[Bing]

Oops - sorry Ben, didn't pay enough attention to your original post

[Swiftly]

I have Goodyear eagle f1 asymmetric 2's fitted and they are really sticky tires when warmed up and really grip the road, can't recommend them enough

Just a quick update to this. Thanks to swiftly above, I went and ordered the goodyears used a site called tyreleader.Co.UK which were cheaper than any other place.
