Tyres Changed - Noise Problems Solved!
Update from earlier posts.
*Had lower range vibration from 1800-2200rpm seems to have disappeared. *Odd high pitch metallic sound from the wheels. *Loss of cornering performance *Tendancy to ground on the hitplate more All above have gone of which points 2-4 are directly attrituable to the fact that I had a nail in my n/s front tyre and hence loss of air pressure I really must do those pre-takeoff checks more religiously! Now the tireless (ho ho) question about tyre choice. I found it's not about brand but moreover what's in stock. My local indy shop had everything in stock. But in my size(205/55/R16)? Hardly! Had to go for Goodyear Eagle NCT5 and okay there are too albeit pricey at £80 (ouch). Neil 156 2.0TS Veloce 2001. And he put new ones on the front! |

So I discussed brands on here, checked the manufacturers internet sites, decided exactly what I wanted, then went and told Kwik-Fit. They ordered them in for me at no extra charge and got them within 3 working days. They didn't even ask for a deposit. No problem :-) Phil 156 2.5 V6 205/60/R15W (it's the W that causes the problem... !) |
