Found cheap tyres, anything wrong with them?

I need new rear tyres for my wife 5 GT. I had a quick look on ebay and found these

I was expecting to have to pay £250+ per corner.

An average Tyre. That's why there cheaper

I'm a keen believer of spending money on good tyres. That's what keep you on the road at the end of the day. Especially on an expensive car like the 5 GT.

Ah ok, they are quite expensive on mytyres so I assumed they are good.

IME mytyres haven't been competitive on price for a number of years.

I have Dunlop Sport Maxx on mine, tbh they are ****

Dr House · 23 Mar 2013 at 12:59

Thanks. I may as well pay up the extra for proper tyres. Its just that we give the car back in 7 months.

The Dunlop MAXX RT's are good tyres, however their longevity isn't supposed to be great.

What I was thinking.....

Get the conti sports at £215 a pop and stop being a cheap ass. If you buy a 5GT, you should be able to afford to run it
