Tyres And Wheels....

[JohnR]

I just got a set of alloys from the breakers and re-finished them so that I can finally take off my Continental winter tyres before totally knackering them. I picked up a set of Audi A4 alloys in a 7.5" x 16. I've tried a wheel on the car and they seem to fit ok.

 

I've just rung around the local tyre outfits, and can get a set of 4 budget summer tyres, "Accelera" in a 225 x 55 x 16, XL and 97 load index fitted and balanced for

Yup i had a full set of them fitted to my old Galaxy last year. I went for them cos of the price but was very pleased with them. When i sold the car i think i had done about 6 - 8 thousand and they were lasting well. Cant really remember the price but i seem to think i paid about

I have just put on some BSA 10 Spoke 7" * 17" wheels with 215 * 45 *17 on my galaxy 2.3 Si and look and feel loads better!

Ok. I got the Accelera alpha's, 225/55/16 99W XL and put them on a pair of 7 spoke A4 alloys from the breakers in a 7.5J after repainting them. Looks smart!

 

The tyres seem to run quieter than the Continentals, and I like the way the sidewall gives good rim protection to avoid kerbing the alloys. Assuming that they last ok, I'd recommend them.

Agreeing with the majority on this one... i have them fitted to my galaxy ( as does a friend ) and i think the car seems to handle ( and look) much better.. go for it is my advice!
