Hmm they are the Vredestein tyres, so they are a slightly different shape.

Re: this only just includes you guys.

I would ask yourself carefully if you want to change the balance of your car by fitting a wider rear. It will handle differently to the way it did with same size front and rear. However if you are going to do it sticking with CN36 I would say will be a big help. The CN36 is a much more progressive t...

Re: Tyre recommendations

Hi.

Sorry about the cost thingy; but it really can’t be helped. The price of everything has gone up horribly. And the applies to quality tyres particularly. A big contributor to the cost increase is that Russian idiot.

Re: Tyre recommendations

But why wouldn't you just fit the Pirelli CN36? https://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/pirelli-collezione/cinturato-cn36.html I am mystified as to why anyone would even consider anything else. There wasnt a tyre that suited these cars other than the XWX. Longstone Tyres got Pirelli to make the 185/70VR15 ...

Re: Tyre recommendations for a 356A

well that actual tyre there has cost thousands and thousands. at present that will possibly be one of the most expensive tyres you have ever seen. however that cost hopefully will be spread out among the actual production when it comes out so they shouls be more sensible, along with the rest of the ...

Re: Tyre recommendations for a 356A

Well the Pirelli are brilliant. that is why they score so highly. I was also suprised by the Michelins performance. However they were testing the XWX, which is more aimed at heavier cars, and warmer climates. Hence the Michelin dry performance is actually very good. We all know we want the Pirelli r...
