GTA tyres for standard wheels

Postby AndyClark » Sat Feb 09, 2008 2:48 pm

I'm just about to replace the front tyres on my atmo,

I plan only to have them on for 3-4 years before refurbishing the wheels and replacing all tyres.

Possibles are: Michelin Pilot Exalto, Vredestein Sportrac 3, Pirelli P6000/P6/P7 or Toyo Proxes T1-R.

Can any one recommend from those?

I've got Pirelli on the front of mine. Been on ages, survived track days and showing loads of life still left in them. Seem to be grippy enough to. No complaints.

I used to have the original Pirelli P700 on the front of my turbo and they were OK. When I changed to larger wheels, I had Conti Sport Contact which are still on the front. However, I recently changed the rear Sport Contact to Toyo Proxes T1-R. They are great. Much grippier and "pointy" and also much better in the wet.
Waiting for my fronts to wear down now, so that I can put T1-Rs on the front, too! They're also not as pricey as Michelin or Pirelli.

Richard should be able to tell you what I have on my standard rims (as he's got them!), but all I can remember is that they look better than most others I've seen in terms of width and profile! Over to you Richard! :lol:

There are 122 possibilities from Goodride @ £27.90 to Goodyear @ £67.90 so you have plenty of choice!!!

Interesting. I always wondered how many Goodrides you should get in a Goodyear - now I know - anything more than 2 is a bonus! :D
