[BaileyMex]

Looking to get a set of new tyres, 175/50/13's

Nankangs or Federals smell the best but dont offer much in the way of grip

I have got A539's on my 1300 Sport as I use it everyday. Very good in wet and dry.

 

I have A048R's on my XR2. They are much softer and won't last long if you do loads of miles, but they are excellent in the dry but I'm told not so good in the wet.

except for slicks

Being serious now yoko ao32r tyres are road legal and superb in the dry but wont last more than 1-2000 miles .539,s are a better bet for everyday use ,still grip well but last considerably longer.

Ive Never used A048,s ,Whats the grip and life expectancy like.

[davreeve]

Whatever tyres you buy you must bear in mind that they are your only contact with terra firma so buy the best you can afford.

Grips very good in the dry, I've done a track day at Brands with them on and they were good, also use mine at Santa Pod and manage to run 13's with 175's so they can't be that bad.

 

They've lasted well, I've done quite a few thousand on mine now, rears are like new, fronts are still legal

[davreeve]

Cheers ,they sound pretty good ,careful in wet like A032,s.

Should be taking the fiesta to the pod in october,never done it before but looking foward to it.

[Ratters]

Yoko's on the front a539's & they are pretty good I reckon. On the back I got Continentals as I needed them asap at the time & although they don't look as good as the Yoko's I must say they ain't bad either.

 

Sorry to say though, I did prefer the Potenza's
