Come on, its getting late.

And your in box is still full

Guessing from the silence that Cems wheels are only 225/40/18s not known for being an Omega size iirc...

Now if he'd fitted 235 or 245, that would at least be an irmscher recommended size, according to the tuv docs.

My point entirely 

Right, I see. So that's only one tyre that cem has experience of that's relevant to the omega.

And he's recommended the other to Oof members in a size no body will use. I wonder if that's relevant to omega owners?


In fact I wonder if the f1 was fitted to an odd size tyre as well. That would be unfortunate if so. Because that would mean he can't really comment, with any credibility at least, on tyres for omegas... at all. 

And yet, It would seem, he appears to set himself up as something of a tyre expert. Going by previous posts.

Would that be fair to say? apologies if I'm doing a dis service, but it does seem odd to me.

Oh dear.

...and with wheel spacers no less. I don't think they are standard, are they?

Nice wheels though.

Kevin Wood - Nope, didn't get chance to overdrive the SC5s. I'm always concious of the release agent, so treat tyres carefully for the first 100 miles or so. They were poor from the outset. I did rack my brains at the time if I could of overdriven them, but the lack of any stability just meant I wasn't confident enough to really try.

Broomies Mate - An Omega is a big car to throw around country lanes, but easily outhandles any Focus I've driven. And stops quicker, albeit without the Ford hair trigger brakes .  But I've mostly always had good tyres on my Omegas. Mostly

chrisgixer - too early to officially comment, as I haven't manged to shag them yet, but so far I've been impressed with the GY F1 Asym 2. Dare I almost mention TT style characteristics, though not quite the grip. If that translates into being able to get 15-20k from them, I'll be delighted.

[chrisgixer]

So will I!  After what you've been through.

Asym 2..? Is that the only model or is there Asym 1 and Asym 2?

I could check the web site, but I'm lazy.

Let me read the sidewalls, I may have dreamt something.

Job for tomorrow, just got in after trapsing around all the camping shops between MK and Coventry.

[chrisgixer]

Ok Asym 2 is the only model available.

So in order of preference TB...? F1 Asym 2, Dunlop TT, Dunlop RT...?


Size, front or rear, all round, what? Come on come on..?

Too many posts to read.

What I want to know is how TB got on with the new Dunlops? I dont think I remember reading about it at all.

Might well be going down the goodyear f1 asymmetric 2 myself,  They seem like a good all rounder  .. Failing that Runway's.. Failing that god knows

I've not had the GY F1s for long enough, still too much tread to comment.

I still maintain that the Sport Maxx TT is the best overall Omega tyre ever made, though accept those who want plastic tyres would be disappointed with their life.

RT aren't quite as stable in a straight line, but the level of grip is awesome. Sadly, the rate of wear is also amazing, but not in a good way.

[chrisgixer]

Gaaw he's bloody evasive isn't he.

Ok, nice easy one. Which car? TFSE?
