arthur Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Just ordered new tyres front & rear. 225/40 Goodyear’s front & 265/35 Nankang rear both 18s fitting Saturday, I have Bridgestone on the front at the moment with nankang rear. Same setup when I imported my zed. So I have gone with Goodyear at the front this time. I haven’t had any tyre issues to be honest so should be happy with the set up.

E8VEN Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 225/40 on the front seems a touch undersized compared to the rears but if that's the set up you are used to and the car handles well then it will be fine. 235/40/18 and 265/35/18 is generally a good set up in terms of rolling radius between the front and rear tyres, willtheyfit.com is a good website for virtually testing out different set ups... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arthur Posted September 8, 2021 Author Share Posted September 8, 2021 Hi thank you for the advice. when I imported my Z it came with that set up. So I have just replaced like for like size wise. Tyres are ordered & paid for & booked in on Saturday. tbh I have not had any issues but I’m no Lewis Hamilton ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E8VEN Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Your Zed looks the part, love the look of the genuine 99 spec headlights? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthur Posted September 9, 2021 Author Share Posted September 9, 2021 My tyre sizes, if I have read the chart right the difference at 90 mph is 90.7 mph (not sure what this means) Thank you for the compliment, I did not know my headlight spec! The lights were on it when I imported the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E8VEN Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 The difference of 0.7 mph is due to the rolling radius of the front and rear tyres being slightly different... but you will not notice that!:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthur Posted September 13, 2021 Author Share Posted September 13, 2021 I have just had my wheel alignment done by Pro Tyre & have to take it back because of wheel wobble at 60 & it pulls to the left! these are supposed to be professionals & it cost me £98! ?

E8VEN Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 (edited) Not good but they should be able to sort that out, my local Pro Tyre is really good, but if they let the trainee do the tracking or balancing its never the same!!
