Bert1701 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Hi all, Got my new wheels and I'm refurbing them at the weekend, just need some tyres for them. They're 15's and I was planning to go for 195/50's. Was just wondering if anyone had any recommendations on make? I was looking at Federals? Is there any point in me putting Toyo's or Pirelli's on a 105BHP Escort? I never normally go over 90... Or can anyone recommend another make for me? Thanks a lot.

sidrick Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 There's no point in putting Pirellis on anything. Federals are not too bad on a budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert1701 Posted June 27, 2007 Author Share Posted June 27, 2007 Lol, cheers for the help guys, I'll look into some Federals then I think. Is £168 for four of them reasonable do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
