Basically, whats gonna be the best budget rears.Im gonna do the fronts soon with some sh*t hot tyres. But i dont want it on the back. Whats gonna be the best like proppe rbudget tyres? Im running 205/55/15'

Remoulds? Or shall i go for a cheap make?




Bit less of this i think!

If your looking for extremely cheap tyres, go to a breakers and sort through them, then ask for a price including a changeover. it comes to about 8 quid a tyre.

Then again if you want new cheap tyres, go to Quick-fit and ask for colway remoulds. 20 quid each.

[SwirlyE30]

Cheers geezer,ill give them a ring.

I can get some nankangs for Ԛ£33 including postage, so id be running the same as the front. Although thats a whole extra ten pounds each tyre.

I gota save for the next set...

Nankangs are decent for the Ԛ£Ã”šÃ‚£

[naylor04]

I'm going for a pair of Nankangs for the front, i'm glad you said theyre ok for the Ԛ£Ã”šÃ‚£Ãƒ”šÃ‚£Ãƒ”šÃ‚£. Nankang NS2, 205/40/17 84v RF @ Ԛ£44.90 inc P+P from mytyres.co.uk.

Nah mate, they were NS1's!


Think im gonna pop down to my local tyre scrappys, they normally have a lot of part worns, or basicalyl brand new ones off of cars that have been written off. Might be able to get some good tyres for propper cheap lol.



Might go 50 instead of the 55's ive got as well, more choice to look through

[320Touring]

fook mate

i'd be keeping 2 steelies in the boot or such driftslaginess

apparenty the tyres fitted to Lada's and Skodas from Eastern Europe last the best cos the rubber is like concrete!!

if going to the scrappy, remember to check all the sidewalls for damage etc

People on the BMWGB mpower forum really rate the FK451 for the e30 m3, dunno if they do them in regular e30 sizes though?

[SwirlyE30]

I got some new tyres today. Cant remember the name lol, Ԛ£25 quid each new. Not bad, although they aint amazing!..

[massive]

your camber is is miles out looking a the wear on those tyres.

[massive]

out of interest how many miles are you getting to the tyre with your kraving for donuts?

[Lordschleife]

Thats what you get when you lower your car by a silly amount...
You need some camber correction plates SwirlyE30!

[massive]

camber correction plates.....where from and how many degrees do they correct?

[SwirlyE30]

I was told my camber could be sorted but its gota go somewhere with the right equiptment. Although whats camber plates?

[massive]

unfortunately these cars have non-adjustable cambers so you would need to put a correction kit on, but these only correct by 1 degree or so. RCCA used to be available for E30 but not any more, these correct rear camber by upto 4 degrees. Fcuk knows what the plates are??

I would say your camber is negative by about 1-2 degrees. how low is it?

[SwirlyE30]

40mm at the rear, 60 up front

[Chaos]

falkens are crap in the wet or dry

some are some arent

the fk451 is excellent wet or dry.

I think they're top mount things fir the shocks?
Not sure - never had to deal with it myself

Do a search for comber correction on this forum, there are a few threads - sounds like there may be some BMW bushes you can get, only skimmed through a couple of threads though

[Jhonno]

wont be top mounts they have nothing to do with the camber...
