I checked with my insurers before I changed, and they were quite happy with any tyre, so long as it was the same size and speed rating as the original fitment.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just had 2 new front tyres fitted today and got told that it was the original fronts that were coming off, which have done 22752 miles . Bridgestone potenza s02 came off and thats whats gone back on.

POST 2Original post

Thats pretty good wear for the front originals. I have a carrera 4 3.6 currently with Bridgestones but had been thinking of Michelins next time as they seem to be favour of the month for less road noise. They do seem to cost 25% more than the Bridgestones so will continue to debate. Problem is that with rears wearing more than the fronts I need to get timing right to change all 4 at the same time !

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The rears have been on my car since 2007 and getting close to being changed. So i'll be putting rears on in about 6 weeks. i've not noticed the road noise to be bad with the bridgestones at all. I think i got a good deal £268 for a pair of fronts fitted 225/40/18 and gave me a price of £488 for a pair of rears fitted 295/30/18.

POST 4Original post

Looks smugly at Goodyear Eagle F1s on the rear purchased for £111 a piece, fitted, balanced and VAT paid a couple of weeks back.

POST 5Original post

Goodyear eagle gsd3 2 x 285x30x18 2x 225x40x18 fitted and balanced £467 I'm still smilng

POST 6Original post

It looks like the Eagle GSD3 are discontinued hence the bargain prices we both got. Certainly too good an opportunity to miss.

POST 7Original post

2 x 265/35/18 PZero Rosso's fitted today - £340 all in.

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I see what yous have been saying about goodyear eagle f1's but they dont do a 295/30/18 :dont know: . The cheapest is Falken's in that size which are about £135 each, but im not putting them on.

POST 9Original post

Us 295/30/18 users are very restricted as to what is available. If you want a change from N rated, try the Yohohama Advan Sport V103. I fitted them to my Turbo and they are great.

POST 10Original post

Just found this site YOKOHAMA V103 SPORT 97Y £135 each http://www.tyresite.com/tyres.asp?width=265&profile=35&size=18 2653518ZYOK 265/35R18 YOKOHAMA V103 SPORT 97Y

POST 11 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

That's a good price. But not for us that's got 295/30/18 on the back :nooo:

POST 12Original post

Richard, would the tyres you mentioned be ok on my 2003 C2? rear tyres.. looking in need of replacement :-( Thanks

POST 13Original post

They should be fine, but I personally wouldn't put different brands on front/rear. I got really fed up with replacing the Contis on the rear every 4000 miles, so I changed all four. I also wanted to try something other than the standard N rated offerings. As I said, with 295/30/18s (Turbos and C4Ss) you are very limited. So far, they have been excellent. They are much quieter, grippier, and are lasting really well. I checked with my insurers before I changed, and they were quite happy with any tyre, so long as it was the same size and speed rating as the original fitment.
