Celica Gen7 Tyres

[The Jackal]

Hi,

My front tyres need replacing as they have 1mm over the legal limit left. (I've done about 15,000 miles on them which is not to bad).

I think I am correct in saying the current tyres are Pirelli PZeros 205/45/17, although I can't check as it is dark outside at the mo!

I've read some mediocre reviews of them on www.tyrereviews.co.uk and agree that in the wet or damp they are a bit slippy and do tramline a bit.

So the question is what other brands give decent performance; I am not going racing or anything like that, just a normal driving style with the rare pedal to the metal moment. I've seen Avon ZZ3, Goodyear Eagle F1 (although they don't appear available in the size I need), and Yokohama mentioned in forums as good tyres.

Also would I have to get all 4 changed or just rotate the back ones (with 4-5mm on them) to the front and the new ones on the back, but risk noticeable under steer?

PS:Toyota dealership wanted £125 per tyre including fitting, which seems £10-£20 more than other places.

Thanks

I've had two Celica gen 7's - currently drive a GT I've always found Bridgestone Potenza RE050A good tyres but they come out at about £120 - you get what you pay for hope this helps

I'd recommend the Falken ZE912, they are asymmetric to match the Pirelli's and are just £57.30 each from Camskill in 205/45/17. You should fit new Tyres on the rear if just replacing a pair.
