What tyres?

[Amoeba]

Hey all

Need to replace the rears on my 200 - tyre size is 255/35/18 and are currently Hankook Evo V12s. Now I have found this tyre very good and as far as I am concerned is not wanting in any area, but before I go ahead and purchase another set (Blackcircles have them at 154 quid each fitted ) is there anything else I should be looking at?

Cheers

At £154 the entire point in cheap tyres - that they are cheap - is lost.

Might as well get some of the new Eagle F1 Assymetrics at £167 each.

To be fair, the Hankooks V12s aren't a 'cheap' tyre and as I said in the OP, I have had them on for the last 30k miles and thought they were excellent. I would be quite happy to buy another set and have done with it, but would prefer to at least check what else is out there.

Maybe my search skills are lacking, but I can't seem to find the Eagle F1s in the size I need. Can you link me?

Ask on SXOC. Not that you can wrong with F1s.

The problem with SXOC is half the guys on there are happy to put 'less than excellent' () tyres on there to aid in their skids .

Camskill have them - its a very common size as its the rear tyre size for a 3 Series Sport/M Sport with 18 inch wheels.

Ahh I was looking at Eagle F1, not Eagle F1 2

Are they worth the extra ££ over the Hankooks then? Bearing in mind the £154 for the Hankooks is fitted and the £167 for the Michelins are not..

Listen to the other half then.

Indeed, just thought I would ask here too .
