    Megane RS250

    Looking for some hard wearing front tyres for this car. Falkens have been suggested but open to more ideas. Details of supplier in London (or close to) very much appreciated. Budget up to 100.00 per side

    Hi Vinny,

    You can look up the wear rating here: http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/

    Continental Eco Contact 5 do well in this respect, as to Michelin Energy Saver

    I don't think we have a tyres article.

    Perhaps we could start a thread with that purpose in mind.

    List the car and peoples favourite tyres for it with small review like on that site.

    I also really like the firestone firehawk sz90, great looking tyre but they do feel very soft even just handling them, grip well but i am dubious on longevity.

    fk452.
    i tried the 912 on my 5 and hated them, more of a touring tyre apparantly.

    Tyres not advertised on website and they're not on the shop floor. Best to order over the phone and then collect. Got quoted last Saturday by Wembley Branch. I think they also offer trade discount!

    That's well expensive. Camskill do 225 40 18 for £75 a corner. 235 can't be much more.

    i had some falken fk452 on front of my megane when i got it, where crap. Even cornering in the dry i had as much grip as i do in the wet with a decent tyre. Switched to some hankook evo's and all was sorted - allthough they have gone up in price alot
