Roo Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Before I get a talking too this isnt a for sale - im replacing my RE40's with RE50's but they still have a couple of mm on the back and plenty (4MM)on the front. Is it even worth me keeping these either for another member/sell or incase of a puncture? or is it a case of no point ditch em? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tez162003 Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 if they have some life left then keep them i guess, unless your tight for space, then no point as tyres arent the nicest thing to look at. Go on then you twisted my arm, give em to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
introspect Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 If you're thinking of doing any track days then I'd personally save them for that. 040's will perform much better on track than on the road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tez162003 Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 but in that case you'd need 040's for the rear aswell. ESP doesnt like mismatched tyres. I should know! goes mental on me at the minute, avons and 040's suck together, Falken all round for me soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookiemonster Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Keep the Re040 for a Track day, having them bald on the back would be well fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should know! goes mental on me at the minute, avons and 040's suck together, Falken all round for me soon I'm looking at replacing my RE40s on the back with RE50s. Do you think RE40s on the front and RE50s on the back would also affect ESP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Yes, as well as a billion other Bad Things. Don't mix tyres on the Zed full stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vik54 Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 When I went Toyo all round I sold a pair of 40's on here for £160 last year - they had 7mm tread left on them though - I gave the other pair away If I could've afforded new wheels I would've kept them all for track use though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roo Posted June 17, 2010 Author Share Posted June 17, 2010 Cheers for the responses. Well once they have em off. Ill have a good look at them and if they look ok ill see if anyone wants em as track tyres or something. Or I might use them to make a planter.

Roo Posted June 18, 2010 Author Share Posted June 18, 2010 Just been out and had a good look at them and there is still a reasonable tred on the rear so i think ill probably keep them as spare or for a track day or flog em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
