got a new motor today...

[Foxspeed]

Had it on track yet?

no and not any plans to either as tyre wear is bad enough without using on track :eek:

 

[Chris]

errmmm..that's what you have a second set of wheels and track tyre for :-p

What tyres you running on it?

comes with bridgestone re050a - quite grippy but wear quickly ie fronts 4mm wear in 5400miles!

that's where it all goes boobs up...not really got the cash for a second set - all been spent on the trophy :rain:

 

[Rogue]

Worth spending it on though

Have you not done a little bit of tyre rotation to help spread the wear?

yeh just done it when did the brakes - fronts were 4mm and rears were 5mm so all swapped diagonally now and the 5mm on the fronts - was still expecting a
bit better wear than that :rain:

 

[Rogue]

Jeez, those are soft! :lol:

 

[Chris]

Woah they are hungry tyres! Hope you consider a different brand when you're ready.

they hang on well :bat:

it will mostly likely need tyres for its first service :slap:

As a comparison, I use the same tyres on my clio (RE050A) and have got 13k so far from the fronts with around 2mm left. The boost and LSD is working them hard!

I've got michelin pilot sports on my 250 which is remapped. They're about half worn after about 7 months and ~8k miles so quite happy with the wear rate on them, might be worth trying when your current tyres wear out! For what it's worth this is about double the life I was getting from the conti sport contacts

[Foxspeed]

just got fitted 4 Michelin super sports :headphone:

must say first impressions are they are better/grippier than the bridgestones roud:

 

[Pav]

the reviews look great..do they do them in 225/45/17 too??

 

[Chris]

Hopefully they will last you a while then if your impressed with the grip!

 

[Foxspeed]

went in for first service 16/10/15 just a year old on about 12,400miles!

going great tyres very grippy roud:

getting 32-34mpg on my daily work commute :headphone:

 

[Matt W]

Impressive mpg! I've just got a 250 and they are epic cars.
