Yes Potenza's RE050's . Tyre Leader that's a good price. Just ordered from National Tyre who have come down to £430.00. Just because I could have order from Tyre Shopper and had them fitted free at National Tyre for £418.00

kwik fit are a rip-off ... they prey on those that dont know any better. there supposed deals are the norm rrp everywhere else
IMHO never trust a KF fitter ...

Thats a decent price Simon for a set of RE050's ... as you say bit of money left over for the fitting etc

My local tyre place has got me replacement bridgestone for 105 each all around which is cheaper than my ford kuga! New rubber in time for the European tour. Happy days

Morning,

For 02+ wheels I've been researching tyre options, annoyingly a brand new set of GSD3s on the front will have to be binned as the tears are no longer available.

I come up with two main contenders

Conti sport contact 3... Is this an old tyre... Seems to be a "5" out there now

Yoko AD08R... Possibly noisy?
http://www.camskill.co.uk/m54b0s321p..._Noise%3A_75dB

On the RE050 potenzas I'm not sold... I see people saying they're designed to work well on an nsx and some followers but all the reviews I read are poor. What am I missing here?

Cheers

Hankook works fine as a substitute for Bridges. Firmer sidewall than Conti but not as firm as Bridges.

Yoko R's are great, noise difference between that and the previous Goodyears not noticeable. Hankooks were terrible!

I'm not sure the Yokos are viable as they are only W rated. I have RE050s on mine as they have a stiff sidewall - something that the GSDs didn't
