ed335d · 05-11-2009, 09:50 AM

Ed

TMP · 05-11-2009, 10:03 AM

So how many miles did you get out of this set then

?

dxb335d · 05-11-2009, 10:29 AM

ED you have PM.

TMP, Rears about 5.5k, fronts approx 9-10k

Hoops · 05-11-2009, 11:11 AM

Im guessing thats because you couldnt find anyone with Vreds in the sizes you want, huh?? Shame cos i think you would have liked them. Still, you like and know the conti's so if it aint broke and all that. Hope you got them for a good price, otherwise you should have held out for the Vreds and given them a go.

Sad fact, It's going to cost you as much in tyres as fuel. Thats 12 tyres to do 20000 miles, say £200 tyre = £2400.

Do you really need to ask that question!!??

jjbirch · 05-12-2009, 04:30 AM

i think it dosnt matter what ever you use as you are melting them all the time 5.5k is just stupid in my mind, you can still have fun doing 10k on the rears, i thought i was bad at 17k on the rears, but its your money m8 lol

True it is Carlos Fandango we are talking about! i thought it was obvious after i posted it!

red355 · 05-12-2009, 10:52 AM

Prob be after some Conti3's me sen

just been down the local 'under the arches' tyre guys to look at a leaking rear Eagle f1...goes down about 10PSi every few days.

yep a nail on the inside edge... needs replacing.
They have done well covering 18,000

one of the fronts is bit iffy. so need at least 3. Since I have these fitted the Eagle F1pattern has changed

So i'm looking at a set of 4
235/35Y19F
265/30Y19R

They have offered a full set of Conti sport contact3s at £920
or
some Kumho KU31 at £570

OR what do you suggest?

oscarguitar · 05-12-2009, 10:59 AM

Like the avtar, I'm gonna get me one of those!

dxb335d · 05-12-2009, 11:01 AM

mmmmm..those are the size that's fitted now

just checked online and the 225/35 & 255/30 are about 120 a set cheaper at 800. That's significant

Oscar
the 355 with bigsby is superb

dxb335d · 05-12-2009, 11:50 AM

Hi mate

standard sizes are 225 and 255. Not 235 and 265

CD · 05-12-2009, 12:25 PM

when i looked into the 225 & 255 contis a week ago the best price i could find was £780 inc vat/fitting etc.

cheers I be happy with £800 for a 225/255 set fitted

I must drive like a granny then...18k from the rears and they are still legal and averaged 42mph over the last 30k

Maybe the little box from Imran will change that :-)

Knew a guy that had a 4.5 cerbera its ate tyres sooo fast

I bet that is one mellow lump of wood! I stupidly didn't work out the 335/355 reference until you put it in print. Dooh!
