The Big Tyres Thread

Just ordered the Vred Sessantas - quoted £432 fitted - double checked it as seemed low - price lower than quotes I'd got online unfitted - they confirmed it so I'm happy! See if they are as good as people say when they go on next week!

Hi J4YMO !

Was this a local firm you got them from or a national firm?
 
My Sessantas were about 500 fitted by Event Tyres. Very impressed by the tyres and the fitters.

Tapatalking with v4 beta
 
235/45R18 - front (http://www.autorno.com/michelin/pilot-super-sport-235-45r18-94y-fa71/)
265/40R18 - rear (http://www.autorno.com/michelin/pilot-super-sport-265-40r18-101y-xl-ea71/)
Michelin Pilot Super Sport - arrived yesterday, and I'm getting them fitted tomorrow. Can't wait... :driving: :driving:
 
CSL Reps, Vredestein Ultrac Sessantas all round, seem great so far - going to be swapping the rears this summer.
235/35xR19 front
265/30xR19 rear

will purchase from camskill or blackcircles dependant on current price/offers/availability (265/30xR19's seem hard to find!)

Ste, are you switching from run-flats? If so, I am genuinely excited for you (and on those rims too, schweeet). 8)

I switched from run-flats in November, but went on to some nasty budget winters. Quite an improvement, but i'm expecting a nice leap between those budget winters and some quality for a change.
 
Goodyear Eagle F1 asymmetric 2
225/45/18 255/40/18
€850 (everything costs more here!)

Just fitted this week so nothing to say on feel, grip and handling yet (I'll update after a few more miles) but initial thoughts are they are quieter and more compliant than the continental mix that was on before (m3 front sc2 rear)
 
Front 235/35 ZR19
Rear 265/30 ZR19
Vreds Ultrac Sessanta all round (have had PSS and PZeros, liking the Vreds and the tread pattern looks fantastic)
Price - Fronts about £150, Rears about £210 (both per tyre)
 
Vredestein Ultrac Vorti

255/35/18 rear 38psi

225/40/18 front 34psi

£550.00 fully fitted.

Really very happy with them. I put the psi after the tyre sizes because the tyre fitters filled them too much and people on here who run Ultrac Sessantas tend to go for lower pressures which didn't work with this tyre. Also there is no information on the Vredestein website as to which pressure to run the tyres at.

Very progressive and amazing in the wet. If I get reasonable mileage from them I'll definitely be getting them again!

Those pressures seem high to me, I run 30 front & 32 rear
 
Of anyone still running on RFTs, do you have a preference?
I'm looking at the stock Potenza RE050s and Conti Sport 5s. Been quoted £770 fitted for the Potenzas.

I'm on 225/40/18 and 255/35/18.
