Tyres - Which to go for - 205/45/r17 Budget Under £80 each

[prelude_h22]

Hi guys

Looking to change over my 225 width tyres to 205 width

My budget is around £80 or under and was wondering what peoples recomendations are:

I was looking at the Hankooks V12 evo K110 tyre as Camskill are doing a special offer on them at the moment £77 each

Or i was thinking the Falken ZE912 they are £69 each

I currently have Uniroyal rainsports but find them abit soft and wollow alot but not sure if its beacause its a 225 width tyre

Its the weekend car so mixed normal driving together with some sprited driving and occasional track days maybe

Any thoughts?

Wish i had 15" wheels - Tyres are so much cheaper

Cheers peeps

Falkens are good value for money buddy, good grippy tyre, I've had them on all of my cars from scoots the civic type r's and my lurvly lud

Currently on Neutons. (As are a few others on here I believe)
You may not have heard of them, but at £60 each directly from the supplier on ebay, I think they are up there with much more expensive tyres I have used in the past. Very good in the dry, no complaints in the wet.

You can get toyo proxes for around 80 quid at some places

Do 215/45/17 instead.

Why not buy decent used tyres from eBay?

I did it and got 4x Conti Sport Contacts for the price of 1 almost.

You will not believe the difference in performance compared to the ones you are talking about!!

Was tempted by the falkens but the neutons seem like a very good choice Will look into that more

Toyos are good but cant seem to find them anywhere for that price as the postage usually bumps it quite a bit.

I would love to go 215's but the ep3's are slightly wider than the motegi wheels it may rub slightly up front when i lower the prelude abit more with the 205's its a guarantee it wont rub.

I have tried searching for used tyres but in most cases they are pick up only and i need them for this saturday

Thanks guys

Another vote for the Neutons here - very impressed with them!

Ep3 and motegi wheels are both 7" wide but the offset if 10mm difference.
You wont rub.
I ran 225/45 on 7" wheels and only slightly rubbed when ATTSing the absolute mother out of it. Although they were 16s.

I'm on 215 45 17's, never had any probs, though I'm not silly low. Do have 4WQueer though.
