Mr Brown Posted July 28, 2013 Author Share Posted July 28, 2013 Interesting, the joys of tyre review websites eh? I did the same last night, first bit of rain for a few weeks since fitting new wheels and tyre and performed excellent in the wet, much much better than old ones and saferExcellent this is first time i have used one of those services i normally trundle off to my best tyre center and buy whatever they have in stock where-as those sites.. LOADS of choices Haha. Love it! Im here to entertain you all, and im here all week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtec2011 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 You sound like a nutcase for corners! And what Tom said, what brand did you go for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Brown Posted July 29, 2013 Author Share Posted July 29, 2013 They were called Primwell PZ900 XL and for two 205/40 R17 84w tyres it cost me £109.98 All in Including Fitting I chose them because they compared with a top brand name selling at £114.00 Each They Scored 72db on road noise which was identical to the branded onesThey scored a B rating for braking in the wet which was identical to the branded onesBut an F in economy (like anybody will notice that or like i give a)And reinforced sidewalls They were worth the risk as my original tyres were very bad and i had to get them quick time on a budget but as it turns out it payed off because i am actually impressed with them and shall be changing the backs for the same ones soon..

Krzys Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Can't grumble at that, it's nice to be able to trust the tyres in the wet, it's not very often I end up with decent tyres in the wet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIKH25 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Tyres sound good, I notice you haven't fitted those headlight washers yet though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtec2011 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Sounds like you got a great bargain! Especially them being 17" low profiles. I got 4 brand new 195/50/15 RoadStone tyres on mine for £140 which is very good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially them being 17" low profiles. I got 4 brand new 195/50/15 RoadStone tyres on mine for £140 which is very good That is good mate i have been BHM out-bargained So im going to get to test her properly wednesday as im going to Dorset (again) for a couple of days so a nice boot up the motorway see how she feels at motorway cruising speeds (100mph-ish) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
