New Rear Tyres for Stealthbat

Hi all,

I've got to replace one rear tyre on the bat" - so I may as well make a good job of it and replace both!

When I bought the old girl back in August she came with Nexan Roadstone N3000's 215/40 ZR16's.

I obviously want good roadholding action from the rear wheels and I'm open to suggestions from my peers!

I'll look forward to hearing from you all!

Cheers!

I believe Toyo T1-R proxys are generally considered the best

They get my vote. :yesnod:

Yup I changed to the Toyos from the cheap rubbish my F came with and found an immense difference for the better.

Agreed, even as a lowly passenger in Slave 1 I can feel the difference in driving after we put those tyres on

Thanks guys - I've done a quick scout about the "wonderweb" & Fleabay - various prices found - can anybody point me in the right direction in terms of average/actual price and supplier? Cheers! Richard

Hi, since my last post, I've found these on Fleabay, (Item No. 370259051639) - what do you reckon? Cheers! Richard.

Richard, if your looking to get them delivered and then getting them fitted I find camskill hard to beat

EDIT: just looked at there website..cheaper but no stock

Average price for toyos is normaly about sixty quid a tyre fitted.

Morning all! Thanks very much for all your helpful advice, I reviewed Toyo, Nexan, etc but have finally settled for Lassa's ????? £58.00 per tyre fitted - please see below ......

New Impetus Sport from Lassa

Lassa Tyres have launched the Impetus Sport, a new, W rated ultra high performance tyre, which is being introduced in a range of fourteen 16", 17" and 18" fitments during the course of the year.

The new tyre features a unidirectional tread pattern with wide circumferential grooves and numerous connected slant grooves on the tread and shoulder, which have been designed to provide high resistance to aquaplaning.

Meanwhile, a high wet grip compound has been incorporated to provide unique wet grip
handling. The Impetus Sport also features a reinforced body ply and reinforced belt edges to allow for greater stability at high speeds, whilst steel bead inserts assure greater ride comfort from reduced body roll and improved steering.

Actually they look very similar to the Nexen N6000 tyre.


I think it is a brave decision to go for an 'unknown' make. Keep us updated on them.
