What did your mate think of your budget tyres?

I'm running 235/45 RSRs on 7.5j td1.2s. The spec sheet from federal shows this as the lower limit of the rim size. http://www.federalti...c595RS-R_Eu.pdf ( 235/40 min rim width is 8 which may be why you had issues) I'll be honest I only went for the 235s as they have an extra 1.3mm of tread depth from new and I'm a tight northerner

  About to order a pair in this size and being a few months just wanted to be sure you had no trouble fitting the 235 45 17 on the rear standard rims and that they have not been rubbing at all during cornering etc. Thanks in advance Luke.  

No issues on a 7.5 rim, I can't remember what width the standard wheels are! I've had a tiny tiny bit of rub on the plastic inner arches but I am running a pretty aggressive camber. Been very impressed with them and will buy again when these ones are spent,

GeorgeBC said they were very good value for money But not quite as sticky as a set of 888s but he was comparing them to his wider 17 all round And hadent set the car up for 17/16 combo He will hopfully be trying a set of zzr at oulton with same setup soon and weather permitted he can compare them to zzr Overall he was impressed with grip from the money spent

Had these ones on the rear since May and no issues at all. No trouble with the fitting. Great tyres for the price

I'll be interested in what George thinks of the ZZRs. Deciding between them, 888s and V70s is hard work.

Ive ordered today from them Toyo R1R's will let you know how I get on, they were definitely the cheapest I could find online

 

thanks to Martin for pointing me this way

[jayworth2]

Thanks for the reply's. In various threads it is stated that they should and do fit but no long term road test for rubbing and now I have an answer. Thanks again everyone.

My tyres arrived yesterday after 6 days, very pleased with the price

Can anyone tell me the difference between these options, DOT 2011 is all I can see? http://www.tyreleade...94-Y/?m=16&ty=T Cheers.

[siztenboots]

I'd go for the cheaper option , the dot2011 are old stock

[slindborg]

has anyone run the "normal" 595's or even the 595 evo?

Another shout out for Tyreleader.

 

Naomi had a puncture on one of the CTR's rears. Quoted £135 fitted when she popped in to see if it could be repaired, so bought two tyres from Tyreleader (Bridgestone Potenza REO50A 205/45R17) for £160 instead. Ordered late Thursday night, arrived at our house the following Tuesday. Had to pay £15 each for fitting but at £190 for the pair, fitted I'm happy with the saving.

 

So another thumbs up for Tyreleader from me.

Ordered some 888's through them and the fronts turned up but not the rears. Contacted them and they said it looks like the delivery company has "lost" them. Do I want some more? Erm...yes please, driving on the rims is dangerous!

 

This was 8 days ago and still no rears. Original order was February some time

[scw02102]

Ordered 2 tyres arrived in 2 days Would use them again

[The Batman]

My mate ordered 2 rear 888s from them and they arrived but was shipped from France

[Graeme Lambert]

Yeah all tyre leaders stuff comes from Europe Joe

Hmmmmm not so good? Their customer support seems quite quick to act usually (I needed to request tracking info on my last order).

[Zoobeef]

They said they would send some more out straight away and send me the tracking info. No info was sent so I asked them for it and they replied with the tracking info for the original ones that are lost.

 

I've replied to that but on the whole I don't think they have sent any replacements yet.

[Zoobeef]

My reply.

 

That is the tracking information for the first 2 lost tyres. I'm talking about the 2 replacements you said you would dispatch straight away 9 days ago.

 

It is now 1 month and 3 days since my original order and I still can't use my car.
