What tyres?

[rab88]

Currently have a set of pirelli p6000 on my civic EK4, which in my experience have been shocking!

As all 4 need changing, thought i would get a decent set. Had a look at toyo T1 Rs, but don't think they are made in 185/60/14....

Any ideas guys?

Doubt they are.

Fitting some 15" wheels would increase your choices substantially, but may affect your insurance also...shouldn't be a lot though. There are some websites (saw one linked on here recently) which can advise on the closest diameter/profile match for your current set if you want to do that.

In that size, I just checked blackcircles.com for options and:-
- Pilot Exalto 2's I have used and they're good, but very expensive (albeit they wear well)
- Eagle NCT-5's tend to get good reviews, and are a lot more affordable
- Conti PremiumContacts would also be a good (albeit also fairly expensive) choice.

Otherwise I'm lost. I didn't rate P6000's very highly, but a few people have, and Falken are building a rep for themselves as a good leftfield choice for sports tyres, not sure about this area of the market though, so would hesitate to recommend although I would suggest you find out more...

Why have you got 14s? I thought the EK4 came as standard with 15s?

Oh yeah, it's a VTi...definitely 15"s as standard.

That will teach me not to use online tyre size calculators...... Yeah, absolutely right, they are 15's!

Toyo T1R's are now an option as are a number of other well reviewed tyres. Although the toyos seem a good 20 quid less than other premium tyres?

Don't know if Goodyear GSD3s are available in that size. A very good tyre, particularly in the wet.

Cannot fault the Yokohoma Parada Spec 2's on my crx, will be getting them next time round.
