anyone running these?
esp 235 45 17's
any thoughts?
seem cheap on special offer at £105 fitted at blackcircles.

Weds, on here, hates them on his 3.2 estate. Iirc. Tram lined a lot.
Which instantly puts me off obviously. :-/
-
and me, cheers :y
-
Had them on my MV6 eggbox wheels - (235/45/17)
Nowt wrong with them at all.
£105 is a bargain price for Rosso's.
Just not as good as the german rubber

I ran a set on all cornesr about 2 years ago.Gave me around 20k and for the life they were quite and pretty good value at around £375 but as said 2 years ago.
I currently have 2 on the rear axle of my Elite and they are good value for money if you do a lot of miles and don,t want to endure Michelins for ever.
Personally I agree with the German preference but from my past experience P Zero Rosso,s have served me well.
I would never put another Avon on my car though..lasted less than 15k,noise not good and they did give tramlining.

must be only "p zero" .. the other uses the name..

I am running a set of 235/45/17 R 94W Admiral SP712's on mine and they stick like s**t to a blanket in all weathers, do not tramline and are a really quiet and comforatble ride.
Made in China though but they must be getting something right with these beauts cos I will be having the same again even if I have to buy them online online and then get them fitted.

They are good because they are in fact the Kumho 712's but rebadged and sold by a sister company :)

Only ever found they worked on lighter cars TBH.
And I am yet to find black circles to be particularly cheap either (my locals always have better prices)
-
Are they the 94W or the 97W?
-
were the 94's....( I Think)
is a good price....but theres enough poor reviews around that ill stick with something else.

If thats the 94's then its not a great price, just average.
The 97's command the higher price (and seem to be what most supply).
E.g., even I can get the 94's for around 88 quid inc vat plus fitting.
Its also questionable if a 94 load rating on a loaded Omega is sufficent!
-
cant tell now anyway....
Was the June special offer and has now gone ;D
decision made!
-
Must admit, when I'm looking at tyres for the Omega I only look at 97 rated ones... I think the additional sidewall strength is beneficial with a heavy car ;)
-
Sure I read somewhere the 97's are far more prone to tramlining than the 94's :-/

Possible I suppose :-/ :-/
I also have to take into account the extra weight with the LPG though. Suppose I could go 94 at the front and 97 at the rear :-/ As long as they don't get mixed on the same axle it shouldn't be an issue

Lol, thats a bit of a random thing as it will vary from tyre brand to tyre brand.
I would expect tyre pattern and casing construction to be more likely to influence tram lining.

Front wheel drive fiesta maybe...
...rear wheel drive omega sized car, no! IMO.
