Therusterman 59 Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 So with the summer wheels on hibernation, I've been thinking about replacing all four for a matching set. Currently I have Nankang NS-2's on the front which wear well, but the grip in the wet is poor. On the back is Dunlop SP2's I think, haven't run these in the front but seem to give off a lot of road noise. Now, the tyres I've been looking at are the Continental Premium Contact 2's, Avon ZV 5's and the Falken ZE 914's. Anyone have experience with any of the above, or any other alternatives I should consider? Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 Buy winter tyres as they are good for below 5 degrees I think Link to post Share on other sites
Therusterman 59 Posted December 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 Buy winter tyres as they are good for below 5 degrees I think Sorry should of been clearer. I've got 2 sets of wheels, 1 with my winter tyres already mounted, running some Nankang SV-2's which have highlighted the lack of grip I was getting from the summer tyres in the wet. The other wheels (Solitude's) are my 'summer' wheel. Iirc the winter tyres are suitable for temperatures <7 degrees. Link to post Share on other sites
andymk312v 15 Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 Had 914's on through the summer and was very impressed with them. Ran continentals on my leon cupra(sport contact 5) and polo 6n (sc2 and 3) and the only fault is they are quite a soft compound so wear quick. But the grip was always there, great tyres and will be fitting a set to my vr next summer. Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 I'll still say toyo T1R if you can find any, best price vs performance I've found. Link to post Share on other sites

Earwig 89 Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 Bridgestone Potenza. We just stuck 4 on the Polo and the grip is amazing in the wet. Far better than the cheap tyres that were on it before. Link to post Share on other sites
