Hi Phil,

well... I just scanned through 13 pages on tyres... feeling a bit sea-sick..

Looks like my choices are... Numbered in my order of preference; I think.

2. Hankook Ventus V12 Evo - Just because Paul likes them, and he's a cool dude after all.
3. Bridgestone RE040/050 - are these the Potenzas?
1. Yokohama - I sweared by these on my Corrado,Scirroco & Golf G60 years ago... but they wore quickly...

What's roughly the price difference these sets and where's the best place to buy online and have them shipped ? Or should I have Chiswick Honda just order them for me??

My MOT is expired and want to get my original Wheels back on my car for that pass...

Thanks in ADVANce!

I quite like F1S but that is just me. Best bet once you have made your choice, is to look up the price online and get a rough idea of it. Then call a few local suppliers and see if they will work on it and what machines they use. I prefer to take the wheels in myself and get the tyres put on them, show the manager the wheels condition. I always give the tyre fitter a tip before they start and tell him to look after your wheels. We tip foodservers to look after a meal, why not the guy installing close to £500.00 of tyres on 2k plus wheels.

Just my opinion, etc.

This is exactly what I did recently, albeit I left the rims with them to remove the RE070's and to refit with the Advan's.

Wheels collected were in perfect condition and they had even cleaned them to remove the 'soap' used to slide the new tyres on ...

Good advice!

The bridgestone's you mention are indeed the Potenza range of tyre. I have these on my car and like them alot

I've been rather underwhelmed with the Hankooks on my ITR as they've worn - very pressure-dependent, and worse turn-in and feedback than the Bridgestones. Great in the wet though.

One caveat to that - the ITR-spec Hankooks are NOT the 'extra load' version, whereas the NSX-spec ones are. This I suspect stiffens the sidewall up, which if true should improve some of the issues I've had.

Remember that both Falken FK452's and Falken ZE912 ZIEX are an option for the NA2 facelift (17/17) cars. Nigel runs the former on his car and says nice things about them.

You could also use them on a 1994-2001 (16/17) by using a slightly different width or profile on the front.

Cheers

Just made a major investment in 4 Yokohama's today, ok I've only been about 100 miles but very good first impressions. I may need to play a bit with pressures. I'll update when I've a few more miles
