Indeed. I think it would be stupid to pay £100+ a corner on his car if he is on a fairly tight budget but i think he should at least get some half decent new midrange tyres (hancook,Falken e.t.c)
Sure but why shouldn't it? Tyres are a major purchase as they are both expensive and a critical component... granted i would guess upwards of 50% of drivers don't give them a second thought as long as they are legal, these are probably the same people who either end up paying over the odds for cheap tyres, or end up buying very expensive rubber that are surplus to requirements.
There is a lot of consumer choice when it comes to tyres, so it's naturally a talked about subject.
Question: Is buying near 200bhp performance cars a good idea if your motoring budget is fairly tight?
Sorry i must have misunderstood what you were saying, thats what i think his best bet is.
But iv seen this a million times and in the end its good bye and good luck with tyres.
People will read a million reviews and ask a thousand questions about a stereo, then skimp on tyres, im just past caring you got to give your one line of advice then wave them good bye.
Absolutely and i'l sit here all day talking about it.
But when someone starts a thread intending to buy 4 used tyres for 100 quid you know he aint suddenly spending 500 quid on a set so whats the point.
Best he buys the best 4 tyres on special offer at his preferred quick fit and be done with it.
I changed all 4 tyres recently, the fronts needed changing, but the rears were mis-matched pirellis, a p6000 and a p7. Both had a good 4mm (guestimate) on them. I guess that's where part warns come from. Another personal example is when one of my eagle f1's developed a bulge in the wall, so I ditched the lot as I had lost all confidence in them. I guess tyre places just collect all the random cast offs and sell them on.

Buy 4 of those, closest thing to the OEM tyre for the 182, the OEM tyre was a perfect match for the cars handling. You've bought a fantastic handling hot hatch, dont ruin it by messing up tyre choice.

I feel like I'm going to be shot down regardless of what I ask.

Listed as new and very close to me. Worth looking at? I do have the funds for more expensive tyres but just checking if that's a potentially good deal.

They don't look new?
And if they were new they'd come with 8mm tread, not 7mm.
And you've got to wait over 5 days for the auction to be up, i thought you needed tyres ASAP?
Seriously, just buy some tyres from camskill/black circles/event and have done with it! I can't help but think that you don't have the funds at all and that's why you're trying to take the ***** way out.

Contisport Contact 2's are a bit old now yeah - 5 years sounds about right. They look like the 2's rather than the CS3's. Who knows, they could even be the ContiSport Contact 1's!
