Tyres (NLC)

Post by BiggestNizzy » Fri May 31, 2013 4:39 pm

It's been sunny all week so I am going to gamble by taking off the BMW's winters and invest in a set of summers.

I need some 205/50/17's what does everyone have on their daily runners ?

I can offer no advice on tyres to use but am pleased to see someone else was still on winters :mrgreen:

I had a puncture which wasnt repairable on my summer tyres so was stuck with winters as I was struggling to get my tyre of choice (Good year F1 GSD3). Just yesterday managed to get 2 x 235/40/17 so will be back to summers as soon as I get them on the rims. :thumbsup

Winters getting changed over on Monday.

No idea what you might want to get. Uniroyals seem good value but depends on car

Continental sport contact 2s are pretty decent tyres. For a cheaper option, Kumho ecsta sports, ku39 or kh41 are also pretty decent boots.

205-50-17?

Sure that's the right size, normally staggered on a BMW.

(that's why I think Mike will do fine, that and his lack of imagination). :roll: :lol:
