which tyres
Hi all,
Due to limited finances, i have decided to keep the MSport 18 inch wheels. Now as I do 20k/yr I want to get some decent rubber on these that won't wear too quickly but have good all round performance.. as I do like welsh road blats from time to time... though rare at the moment. So firstly, shall I just get 2 new RFTs on the back (the ones that need changing) or shall i get 4 new non-RFTs? And for either which tyres would you recommend? I assume that the air pressure in non-RFTs will also be much less... any ideas on the 18"? Thanks, Inaam |

I've done 22k and still got plenty of tread on my Michelin pilot sports. That includes 4 laps of the Nurburgring! They are slightly more expensive than other brands but last for ages. I will definitely buy Michelins again.

Yours wear out faster because you drive like a hooligan  and you probably don't check the pressures |
