Zednick666 Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Hey, I need a couple of rear rubbers ahead of the MOT next week, been looking at Bridgestones on camskill as I already run RE040's on the front, the rear currently has some ziex somethin that were on when I got it. Should I go for the RE050's over the RE040's? Prices aren't miles off you see; 245/45R18 96W RE040 - £144.07 245/45R18 96W RE050 A - £151.17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mic-39 Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 personally I would go with the 050 definately a better tyre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 I agree, the 50s get a lot better reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillheaddemon Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Just had all 4 tyres replaced last week from the 040s and now got the 050s. Definitely a better option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Ideally you'd keep them all the same. I would buy 050s though. I would definitely search on 'mixed' tyres though first so you go in with eyes wide open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narcotix Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 I too would say the RE050's are a superior tyre comapred to the RE040's ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zednick666 Posted May 12, 2010 Author Share Posted May 12, 2010 Awesome, cheers re mixing tyres, I've read all the threads and not overly concerned; been running mixed tyres since I got it with not one issue - in fact the rears are pretty desperate now but still manage to keep on the road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuck Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 the rear currently has some ziex somethin that were on when I got it. The rears sound like Falken ZE912 - £98.60 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
