scott87 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 GT champiros on the rear, blindingly good and around £88 a tyre! Then i have continentals up front which do a good job in the dry but not so great in the wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 anyone? How much do you want to spend ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broomie Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 not a silly amount upto around £130 a tyre for the rears, fronts i already have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott87 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 (edited) not a silly amount upto around £130 a tyre for the rears, fronts i already have For that money i would go with Hankook or the GT's, but so far the GT's are definitely out performing the Hankooks! Really chuffed with em. http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/GT-Radial/Champiro-HPX.htm Edited March 5, 2013 by scott87 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 (edited) They have the same wet grip rating as the Falken 453, Conti sport 3's, Hankooks, Dunlop sportmax. Pirelli P zero's Better wet grip than Vredestein Sessanta Only bettered by Yokohama Advan AD08 and G/Y F1 asymmetrics in stock rear size Edited March 5, 2013 by Dnk (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
