Jacques 920 Posted September 2, 2019 Report Share Posted September 2, 2019 Well, if only... But 415Nm that is. A fair amount. Yes, I think it's not very clear, an deasy to order wrong tires as well. Kind regards, Jacques Quote Nobody does it better - than Lotus Link to post Share on other sites
andyblackman777 37 Posted July 6 Report Share Posted July 6 Thought I’d get the thread going again. front tyres seem very limited now. Maybe Yokohama advan AD08 the only decent one but it’s a track oriented tyre. I was thinking of running 245 40 17 instead of the 235 40 17. Gives a better choice of tyre. has anyone done this? cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gold FFM Mightymetro 251 Posted July 19 Gold FFM Report Share Posted July 19 I went for the Nankang NS2R tyres Andy and they feel really good. Good grip even in the wet and also great tread pattern looking on the wide rears from behind. They seem quite predictable and can break traction at will at the rear (bit of throttle pedal ) but in a controlled way . downside is they are pretty noisy and they are really really stiff on the sidewall Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So to me, unless it’s Max Verstappen or some other decent driver carrying out the testing it makes me wonder how accurate it is. It’s possible most would be able to tell the difference between the top rated tyres and the bottom rated ditchfinders, but I’d question whether some owners would notice the difference without back-to-back testing. I’ve long thought there should be a standard test for tyres in the dry and wet, and I used to go by the treadwear figure as a broad interpretation. By that, if it says ‘Treadwear 30’, as I’ve seen on some competition tyres, you might get a few hard laps of Margate town square in before they expire. Conversely, if it says 220, they’re gonna last considerably longer, but may not grip as well. As it happens, I bought PZeros for the rear, and Neova for the fronts and to be brutally honest, I can’t tell the difference between those and the previous Michelin Pilots which were a few years old. The hardest job is, as has been said, is finding the correct size tyre all round. I found the front Pirelli’s impossible to find last time, hence the Yokohama’s. Quote Margate Exotics.

OwenGT3 179 Posted July 19 Report Share Posted July 19 I fitted Falken FK453 Tyres on mine, all round. Not too bad a price from what I can remember, about £100 - 120 a corner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
petecov 3 Posted July 22 Report Share Posted July 22 I had a good experience with NT05's. These nitto tires are very predictable and sticky. They have adequate traction in the wet and are smooth on pavement. Having a short tread life is the only con I can say. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
