event tyres

[scottyd]

just got myself a pair for a fitted price of 55quid, I know they arent the best at that price have any of you got them or used them?

if you mean Event tyres who do mobile fitting, there cheapest tyre for my size was £64 it just says a BUDGET tyre, also the Falken 912s were £84 if you buy four,, I can get them for £69 fitted/ balanced etc, so er,,, no not used them

Event are another Chinese "brand" of budget tyre, the problems come from the inconsistency in batch to batch rubber and the vulcanisation process some batches grip like baby poo to a blanket, others fall off the road if it has a camber!

Bed them in and take it gently till you find their adhesion limits is probably the safest policy

yeh good price, slightly cheaper than 215/50. Used to get that size on my laguna dynamique.
I don't think they suit the vec, too small tyre wall IMO.

You jest? The 225/45/17 size is only marginally lower in profile to that of the 215/50/17. Not even noticable to 99% of people on the street.

Only really noticeable if you have 215's on one axle and 225's on the other.
