Title: What are the best tyres for Selespeed sports wagon
Post by: smitti52 on April 02, 2010, 06:45:58 PM
Have a 2005 Selespeed sports wagon with Bridgestone Turanza ER300 on the front
and Dunlop Direzza DZ101 rears.
Rears are looking tired and need to be replaced, front are in fantastic condition.
I do a bit of track work but car is used everday as the family bus.
Any advice on replacements would be great.
Cheers

What size tyre?

Depending upon how much track work you do, you could go a quality performance road tyre, or a semi-slick.

For a road tyre, I rate the Bridgestone RE001 highly. But plenty of other quality tyres available.

Stick with the ER300's, good touring tyre for the tourer!

I presume you are talking about a 156 sportwagon ?? If so, mine previously had Michelin Pilots.  I have just had these replaced with Pirelli P7 205x55x16. Am really happy with this choice. 

Mind you I have Pirellis on my 1750 GTV and AC Fiat 124 sport.  So perhaps I am biased. ;D  Dave

Hi,

I got Continentals from Lance Dixon at a good price 12 months ago. No complaints whatsoever.

Cheers.
