: New tyres for the GT
Casey-R26 05-03-2008, 18:24:09 My tyres will be due to be changed in a few thousand miles and im determined to change from the factory fitted Continental Sport Contact 2 as i dont think there upto much so i always hear people reccomend Toyo's so are these the correct style:
Toyos (http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php?show=1677)
VREDESTEIN (http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php?show=12392)
Aslo , my tyre size is 205/50/17 can i change the wall height and drop it to 40 from 50 just i also like the look of the Goodyear F1's but they are not availabe for my tyre size. Should i stick to what come on it or am i ok to change the tyre spec?

Mike_GT205 05-03-2008, 19:30:56 Michelin Pilot Primacy HP from the factory on mine and they last forever, and grip pretty well.
adz-r26 05-03-2008, 19:42:09 michelin pilots are the way forward (and round corners)

20,000 on 3 of mine, one was replaced last week from a puncture. Still a fair amount of tread on the three as well. Will definately be getting another set.
ive had mine for 6 months and my front tyres looks like they need changing in a couple of months. I thought this was a bit unusual!
Alain 06-03-2008, 12:44:12 do you want me to get you a price?

Casey-R26 06-03-2008, 19:40:57 thanks mate, as per my first quote, the current size is 205/50/17 can i change the size of the wall you know to make them more low profile or would that upset the setup of the car.
adz-r26 06-03-2008, 23:32:05 im not quite sure how it would affect the car mate pm icarus im sure he will be able to clear up any questions you got mate

Casey-R26 07-03-2008, 13:52:50 ok will do, when you get the prices just drop me a pm plz mate.
