Title: The Cost Of Type R Ownership Post by: Ralphy on Wednesday, November 23, 2005, 20:21:04 My car is 05 plate, bought brand new in April.
It's covered just 9700 miles and the front tyres are nearly gone! Gonna replace with 4 Yokahama's for the winter months cos 200 horsepower through the front wheels on summer tyres is scary :soapy tit wank: 4 x Yokahama Parada Spec 2 fitted = £440 Ouch Need to do oil change tomorrow too, thats £40 gone! I love it. Title: The Cost Of Type R Ownership Post by: Sade on Wednesday, November 23, 2005, 20:29:15 :P your own fault for having such an exspensive car! get a three wheeler or a mr.bean car.

Leaving stuck up cunts in BMW's (Not you Ash :soapy tit wank: ) for dead is so much fun. Title: The Cost Of Type R Ownership Post by: Ralphy on Wednesday, November 23, 2005, 20:38:17 Ace :soapy tit wank:

Title: The Cost Of Type R Ownership Post by: Sippo on Thursday, November 24, 2005, 15:01:55 Pie, I tend to go to Bells in town. I find they're cheap and reliable.
Title: The Cost Of Type R Ownership Post by: Piemonte on Thursday, November 24, 2005, 15:30:57 Cheers stfcfan. I've had some tyres from there before and they had em done in less than 1/2 hour.

I have Bridgestone RE040's on my Type R currently, good tyres in the dry but not for winter. Yokahama's are superb, i haven't heard a bad word spoke about them. They offer massive grip in the dry and good wet grip. Parada Spec 2 is the best. Title: The Cost Of Type R Ownership Post by: Leggett on Thursday, November 24, 2005, 20:25:02 got yokos on the front of my lil beast, A4358s or summat like that, grippy as fuck, understeered once since i've been driving it, and driving it hard! all the other times its the backend that steps outta line :P
Title: The Cost Of Type R Ownership Post by: Ralphy on Thursday, November 24, 2005, 20:38:09 Yoko A539's are good as well as Parada Spec 2.
Title: The Cost Of Type R Ownership Post by: Leggett on Thursday, November 24, 2005, 21:46:35 bloody lovely, and on my tiny 14" wheels they're cheap as you like. BARGAIN :P
Title: The Cost Of Type R Ownership Post by: Compo on Thursday, November 24, 2005, 23:14:13 Ralphy i could tell they wer'nt your tyres, maybe the big red H in the middle means they came from an 'R Type' Hyundai..............
Jokin aside have u tried Toyo Proxes T1-S's :D Title: The Cost Of Type R Ownership Post by: Ralphy on Friday, November 25, 2005, 04:09:36 Yes on my old Saxo VTS. Good Grip but wear VERY quickly.
The Toyo T1-R is out now and a much better tyre. Has a stiffer sidewall than the T1-S and wears less. |
