thanks shmoogle, it may make my mind up, can u remember why the hankooks were better.

He can't remember what he had for breakfast (all he knows is it was vast!) let alone why a tyre is better than another! 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

I haven't even had my breakfast yet, let alone forget what it was....

Soody, the Hankooks wore better I think, but I'm only going on conversations I remember people having on here. The best thing to do is to ask your tyre chap's opinion - I don't think there is much in them from what people have been saying on here.

I think Hankook's are on special at camskill right now.

£104 inc vat but you'll have to get them fitted locally.

Good luck

thanks for the info guys, but i still havent made my mind up, the hankooks were slightly cheaper so i might just go with them.

soody, camskill have none in stock. I have just placed some with tyre express that have about 20 in stock and they are £96 each. Bargain.

I went to the tyre place today, and i asked the guys about their opinion, and they said that two brands are basically the same. They had the toyos in stock, but would have to order the hankooks in, for delivery in the morning. I just went with the toyos to save time. Got them for £117 fitted each, and filled with nitrogen for free. one thing that i noticed when they were on, was that the lip of the tyre doesnt stick out as much as the dunlops i have on the front, meaning that the back wheels will be easier to kerb. i will just have to be more careful when parking up. Three of my alloys are kerbed already. could someone please reccomend an alloy wheel refurbisher in the north east region please. Also could someone please tell me what the reccomended tyre pressures are for the rrs. The guy at the tyre shop put 33psi in the front and 36 psi in the back. The front tyres had 40 psi in already, so he took air out of them, but they were like that from the dealers i bought the car from. Ive never tpped up the air pressures in them. Advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Can't recall what the TPs should be but there should be a sticker with the details on the drivers door edge.

Was looking at new tires myself and did a search on tires-easy.com and the 2 best choices were the
Hankooks and the Toyo S/T with the Toya just very slightly higher rated. mike murphy

33F and 36R is normal pressures.

Sticker on inside right corner of drivers door gives you the options according to load. TDV6 - gone
