Re: what tyres are VRedstien Protrac

ANOTHER QUESTION

ok, the tyres i have found are 2 VRedstien Protrac with 7mm tread and 2 pirelli p700z's with 4mm tread, what way round should i put them? so VRedstien Protrac on the front or back?

ALSO- what tyres need more grip? front or back? thanks!! (y)
 
Re: what tyres are VRedstien Protrac

Newest tyres on the back on a front-wheel drive car. Reason being that if you start to lose the front, you can do something about it (lift off, steer into the slide etc). If you start to lose the back you'll be lucky if you have enough time to do anything about it, and there's not much you can do anyway. So you want the fronts to lose grip first.

If Any One Can Find Reviews On These, Please Compare To Good Year Gt2's. Thanks! :)
auto express every yr,does a giant tyre test. the vredstein's won by a long margin. they were up against the top tyres, so no mean feat. remember, some tyres are directional, so make sure the tyres go on the rim and side of the car in its arrow rotation. i would stick the better tread on the front. the front end of an uno will understeer well before the back end gives out. 4mm is enough to control the rear, but no less really. if not sure, swap them round for safety.:)

hi,

what car tyres are pirelli P700Z, and how much do they cost for size on other thread?

also how many k miles would 4mm last? :)
on the back, quite a few thousand. on the front is anyones guess. its down to tracking, tyre pressures, driving style and skills. bad tracking will kill them in less then a thousand miles with a combo of town and duel carriage ways. tyre pressures will lead to the outer wearing with low pressure and the middle with high pressure. enthusiastic cornering will take the shoulder away and prematurely wear them. skill plays an important roll. turning the steerring wheel while stationary,will wear tyres and steering. hitting kerbs, will damage the tyre bands and lead to "egging" locking the brakes will cause flat spots and so on. they could last 10000 miles or 500 miles. all depends.:)

yeah from reviews on internet they all say the vredsteins are very good, remember these are for sisters punto, not the uno, i think i am going to put pirellis on the back,

and these are the tyres-

and does anyone know if the pirelli p700z are going to be better than goodyear gt2's?? (i really need to know that :) :) )
 
Re: what tyres are VRedstien Protrac

DO NOT GET VERDSTEIN Tyres.

They are Gay, I have to on the front and from brand new they have never had any Grip and I think they are exactly the same Protac ones.

Leave well alone.

They are especially scary in the wet.
