Tyre Time Again

The run at Mirigama with the MFOC boys was the last nail on the coffin for my rear tyres (they used to be fronts).

The treads are gone....... :(

Have been shopping around a bit and wondering what should replace my Yokohama ES-100s. They've lasted around 17,000kms. Prices have gone up by around 25% :blink: since two years ago!

Anyone has any experience with the following?

1 - Michelin MXV8 - Can't find a review on the net.

2. Dunlop Sport Maxx - Some reviews good, some bad......

3. Pirelli P6000 - Same as above......... :o

The size is 205/55/16. Car is Alfa 156 2.0

After a lot of thought, I got a set of Kumho Ecstas. Since I've used this tyre before I know that they are quite good. The final choice was between these and Dunlop Sport Maxx. The Dunlops were 7k extra per tyre! Kumhos 12k Dunlops 19k each.

Plus the wear rating was worse than the Kumhos even though the Dunlops looked like a real quality item. But then I could not say not to a 28k price difference.

Thanks for all the input and assistance from all. Especially Devinda who gave a lot of insight into the various ratings!

aaah back i see!

Happy to help GTAm :)

It is a clearance sale at the agents.Only this size is left.

careful when it comes to tires at clearance sales - check the Year (&week) of Manufacture prior to purchase - rubber degenerates with time , so it might not be in ones best interest to buy tires that have been shop soiled for years , just because they're available at a low rate , as the age of the tires may warrant replacement within a short period of time, thus defeating the whole point of the cost saving nature of the exercise!
