pkw2704 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 so apart from the cr500 tyres ,what other tyre do we recommend,fast road/touring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 CR500s are obsolete and no longer made. Avon replaced them with the ZZS and ZZR range, the ZZR being like a cut slick , the ZZS being more road focused all weather tyre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM25T Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I use Toyo T1R for road use. Able to clear water very efficiently. Understand this designation has now been replaced by a different pattern, something like TR1 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K7 VCT Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Nankang NS2R but in 13 inch, 4 years of use, good overall performance. 185 60 13 Nearly half the cost of Avon zzs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 You have to consider that certain tyres are built to carry the weight of a saloon car weighing 2 or 3 times the weight of a 7, this requires sidewalls that are quite stiff. This has a significant impact on the driving experience, and not positively, just saying.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
