Hi! Has anyone used these? Any feedback?

 

My 205 (occasional road car) is in need of some new boots and these are very cheap at the minute, the car currently runs 14" a048s which are brilliant but perhaps a little too stiff on the sidewalls for road duties. Just wondering if anyone knows how these compare?

 

Cheers

So..... Thought I'd add a bit of closure to this thread!

 

I had a chat with Monsieur Gibbs and decided to get 4 of these. I must admit I'm pretty pleased with them, far more suited to my car/use than the A048s.

As soon as I drove it I could feel that the sidewalls aren't as firm, the cars now much more pleasant on rough roads. The steering is also considerably lighter now which is nice as it has a 3.2 and no PAS.

Grip wise I'd put them somewhere in between PS3s and 888s, perhaps like a stuff sidewalled ps3?? seem very good in the wet too and don't require masses of heat before they work.

 

Overall very happy for the money, I'm not sure if I'd consider them a proper circuit tyre but make a very good fast road tyre

Nice to hear some feedback

Gibbo loved his so much be bought another 2! Seem to be a budget r888 from what I have heard and read. Wonder how long lasting they will be

For track use I don't think they're gonna touch an r888 and certainly not a patch on an a048, fast road I think they're a winner though, especially at under £60 a corner in 14"
