r555bat Posted January 28, 2013 Author Posted January 28, 2013 ive got the dunlop on the front pirellis on the rear i was goin to change the tyres but wanted to see what all the hatch owners recommended first .
StrikE Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 dunlop and pirelli Could be your first problem........ Yeah not a great idea to mix brands on that car! I am going out on a limb here but are the Dunlops SP sport max rubber? if so throw them in the bin as they are mince on a hatch. Mixing the tyres is a disaster for any performance cornering. Check your tyre pressure also can make a big difference too. On a car your age nothing should be broken If funds allow & depending on the condition of your tyres i would at least dump the mismatching tyres [i presume 2 dunlops 2 pirelli ] so what ever make has the most tread left buy 2 of the same make. Get Michelin tyres, tried & tested For small upgrades to your suspension just per chance I have some items for sale that will also greatly help out on the rear end HERE I am hoping a dealer never sold you a car with odd tyres!!!

monsterenergy Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 I use michelin pilot sport 3's - cos that's what comes on the CS400. Seem good but I corner like a granny lol. I wouldn't mix brands as the tread patterns in the wet won't be compatible and I think that would be a worry - but maybe that's nonsense? I've always like running Pirelli's on my other cars - but had a 2 month old P-Zero bubble on the inside rim - so am now nae happy with them.
r555bat Posted January 29, 2013 Author Posted January 29, 2013 thanks for the replies all taking on board i will let you know what i do .
g1983 Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Go to Costco for tyres they are very well priced but also do 2 weeks twice a year where if you buy 4 you get 20% off. i posted exact prices somewhere on here
l137sws Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 Had 2 hatches. Both 18" rims. P-Zero Rosso's for me.
