Tyres?
I can get YOKO A539's (195/50/15) for £45 each. 2 questions:-
1. Are these a good tyre for road and track use. What else would anyone recommend
2. Is this a god price?

1. My personal experience with Yokos is that they are excellent in the dry, but scary in the wet. However, how often will you be hammering it in the
wet?
2. I do not have direct communication with God, so I couldn't say.

My wheels came with these on - They used to be the control tyre for the 750MC series didn't they?
Not too sure they'll be much Kop on the road but the price sounds ok for that size.

1. Cheapest place for tyres I know is www.tyres-sold-online.co.uk. They list the Yoko A509 at £39.90, not sure how this compares to the
A359. I'm sure they'll quote you if you email them and ask!
2. I run Yoko A520s on my XR2. Stick like poo to a blanket but last about 10 minutes if you're lucky. I suspect the A359 will be similar.

cheers guys.
My-tyres.net have them for £36, but you have to add £5 per tyre fitting at a local garage, so seeing that i am getting a discount on the wheels if i
buy the tyres aswell i will probably get them.
