ZTT tyres at reasonable price?

Ypres · 17th October 2008, 15:05

Hello

I'm about to need new tyres on my ZT-T 135 CDTi for the first time. A quick look around produced a bit of a shock (why do you need 170mph tyres on a car that won't get past 120?).

Does anyone have recommendations for something acceptable but not too frighteningly dear? I've seen advertised Kenda KR20s which seem very reasonable and come out very well on the TyreTest.com results.

Thanks.

Welcome along....

I run Nankangs on mine...........possibly a bit noisey but without a back to back test it's hard to say.

But at £75 a corner fitted, it's half the price of a brand tyre...

Use the search function - tyres have been debated many times before!

If you're prepared to arranged your own fitting, the range and prices offered by MyTyres and CamSkill take some beating. I've bought tyres from both and can vouch for them.

Blackcircles are worth a try for comparison, they also do a complete fitting service, Ii paid less than £400 a set a couple of months ago.

Not sure what size is on the CDTi but I picked up Vredesteins (not sure about the spelling!) for £60 per corner at my local fast fit.

Running Nankangs on the other motor and they are very quiet but they are not very low profile. All round I think they are great value for money and will be fitting them to the ZTT soon.

Anyone any experience or knowledge of the Kendas?

Just had three Kenda Kaisers 225/45 fitted to my ZTT today. Cost inc. VAT and fitting £218.55. According to the fitter they are the best value for money.
We'll see!

Is that on the very rare 3-wheeler ZTT?
