Kip Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Just been quoted £55 each for BF Goodridge profilers W rated - Fitted!! Any one know anything about these and are they worth putting on for the winter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotasuprauk Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 What size are these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotasuprauk Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Just found this on the net somewhere: The BF Goodridge MT are a good tyre, but if your on a budget, the Colway MT Remould has a virtually identical stud pattern and are much cheaper. I only paid £26/tyre for mine. http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=74541&f=91&h=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kip Posted December 7, 2005 Author Share Posted December 7, 2005 Remould!!! on a TT?? Thanks but no thanks. cheers for the thought though. Sizes are for the stock rears - 245.45.16. Not really on a budget, I just like a bargain. Was expecting to pay around 100 to 120 per tyre for Toyo Proxe T1R's, but I was then offered these. Thought I would ask the question. I may just give em a go, at that price I can afford to throw em away if they're no good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotasuprauk Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Btw just in case someone is thinking I bought £26 remoulds for my car I didn't! That was just a quote from that site as I thought it was interesting someone compared the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toyotasuprauk Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Although I wish I could get some good rear tyres for £26 each! I will have to come to that one day. I've been trying to get some bits from Steve Manley today but cant get through! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DShox Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 dont you need ZR rated tyres on your Supra - thats what the stock came with so if you put non-ZRs on I thought it was MOT fail! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaoriFan Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 i want to change them, but have Pirelli P7000, they are what came with the car, and they are rated W when i checked, and it passed MOT on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DShox Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 think the tyre might have to be ZR or better therefore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotasuprauk Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 I don't remember ever seeing anything in the MOT guidelines about the speed rating only the tread depth. Would be quite stupid and funny if you got failed because your tyres were only capable of 130 mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kip Posted December 8, 2005 Author Share Posted December 8, 2005 Cheers guys, Ive looked up tyre ratings on the internet and by the looks of it W is a higher rating than that of the ZR. Any comments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DShox Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 yup ZR just means 150mph+ - dunno what the top limit is therefore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only paid £26/tyre for mine. http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=74541&f=91&h=0 i think you will find that mt stands for mud terrain they are used on 4x4 vehicles. as for the bf goodrich profilers they are a very good tyre for there money have great kerbing bands to protect your alloys to:OK: bf goodrich believe it or not are michelins. as for speed ratings w is approx 168mph zr is approx 149mph as long as you have two speed ratings the same on the same axle your fine for mot purposes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyh Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 also bf goodrich (profiler) is an old pattern now (profiler g) is the new pattern:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kip Posted December 8, 2005 Author Share Posted December 8, 2005 Had em fitted this morning. And must say after 100 miles or so on dampish roads this afternoon they seem ok - plenty of traction. At a cost of £110 fitted inc. valves and balancing for the pair! Bargain!! Cheers guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotasuprauk Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 What exactly did you have fitted Kip I'm after some too and like that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kip Posted December 9, 2005 Author Share Posted December 9, 2005 Sorry for late response chap. Had BFGoodrich Profiler G's - 245.45.16's fitted - and to be quite honest they're ok. Fitted etc at a company called Hi Q. I too liked the price and was in deep shock when they told me - as I had just negotiated - what I thought was - a good price on some Toyo Proxe T1R's at 97quid each - not fitted!! Good luck mate.

silvasurfa Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Just had my two rears replaced, 265/35/18ZR, Contintental n2s... Very pleased with them, I want to be for £310!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DShox Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 I was lucky enough to win brand new Dunlop Sports all weather 245/40/ZR18 tyres for only £102 off ebay. yesterday I dropped my car off for alloy refurb (£60 each) and I'll have em swap the tyres then so I dont have to pay anyone for fitment. bargain!
