tyre

Anyone need a spare?? Got 1 available, no curbing, tyre has 5/6mm of tread. Pm if interested, midlands area.

Got a set of these but the offset is too high for the Williams without spacers. Set of 4 inc BRAND NEW centre caps, no tyres tho. In good condition, just a few chips on the rims. Located in Hinckley, Leics. Mat.

Is it any good or should i be getting a spare wheel & tyre???? With winter fast approaching, don't want be fannying around at the roadside when it's dark, cold & wet :lol:

Following the suggestion by Cue in the tyre database thread (see here: http://cliotrophy.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1508) I am looking at expanding this to cover other Trophy compatible oem replacements such as brake pads etc. Let me know in this thread what sections you think it should...

My first attempt at finding a decent tyre fitter/ set up company along the M62 corridor didn't result in any suggestions so how about further afield? Which companies do we all recommend for tyre fitting and for getting the tracking/suspension settings done properly? I don't want my alloys...

I'm considering parting from my princess. She's just celebrated her first birthday ('55' year registration) and completed 8,000 miles - me as the first and only (mature) owner. Never tracked or dinged - fuel computer averaging 33.9 mpg over past 4,000+ miles! Always run on Optimax / V-Power...

It's almost time for me to get some new front tyres, 19,000 miles on my first set is pretty good. I'm also wanting to get all the tracking and allignment done as well. Do any of you know of a decent tyre fitter along the M62 corridor, i.e Liverpool to Hull. I'm willing to travel to get the...

Did my first trackday yesterday and i have to say that i enjoyed it even more than i expected too so i am counting the days down to the next one. I do have a few questions though for you guys that have done more than one and have upgraded their cars. My trophy is standard and i thought the...

I just spotted this on the Renaultsport forum "panel of experts" bit: Eldorado asked: 182 service Am I right in saying that my 182 clio needs servicing either every 12k miles or every 12 months? If so, why was this changed from every 24 months? Isn't a service every year a little excessive...

awful day yesterday, rear tyre went, cause was a large nail - anyhow managed to get a new tyre for £93.21 inc fitting, not from renault as usual no stock and quoted over £150.00 - so beware guys and gals!!! :(

I have just done my first track day with them and i am well impressed i did not get any brake fade at all and i was almost out braking the new 197 with it's brembo brakes . my brother was there with his 182 and had mintex 1155 brake pads and experience brake fade but give him and the pads...

I didn't take many as I either on track or sleeping in the car (for those concerned I've been to the docs and have some antibiotics. ) I'm reasonably pleased with some of these: http://www.rapidpants.com/images/gal...Cadwell200906/ If anyone wants full sized images drop me a PM and I'll...

very daft question but where is the tyre foam your surposed to get in the trophy had the car from new now a year old, and today checked in the bag tied to the side of the boot which i always thought was tyre foam and its not, it a jack kit?? so where is the tyre foam or have i missed...

Hi all, I have two PE2s for sale for £45 each or a very near offer. These tyres are used but have only covered motorway miles (M1 up to Newark every week) and from sight they have at least 50 or 60% life left in them (at least another 10,000 motorway miles on the rear tyres). They have...

My local normal rip off shell garage that sold optimax at 105.9 has just changed to v-power. Better still it's going for 99.9!!! I had a huge smile on my face at the pump when i saw it was v-power and 99.9 then i thought to myself how sad am i!!! lol :lol: Anyone else filling up on this...

What do you guys think as a good front/rear balance for standard every day driving?! Any idea of an optimum balance?

just wondering what the point in having the jack in the car...? if you dont use it for punctures because of the foam why bother at all....its already been said the jacking points on the sills arnt up to it either i've took mine out the car ....saving 3kgs

To all the guys who've had their alignment done... Did you need camber bolts on the front wheels? I am about to have mine dialled in with about 2.2 degrees of front camber but I am not too sure how much camber the front can adjusted utilising the stock suspension geometry. I understand...

Ok, a hot topic which has been covered in different ways, but for those of you that have had a service or have one coming up in the not so distant future, i'm just trying to find out where you've had yours done/where you'll choose. I'm at 11000 miles so mine isnt far away. I've heard good...

My front tyres are seeming like they only have a couple of k's left in them but the backs seem ok still. From some of my 'energetic' driving i have worn the edges on the front set a bit too. So here's the question! Should i swop the fronts to the rear and then replace them as and when, or...

Last week end while at ultimate street car @ santa pod after a lot of hasle off my mates i reluctanly took my trophy down the drag strip. First run ever on a drag strip i managed 15.5 beating a v6 calebra 16.6 next run an Astra coupe turbo i got 15.73 he got 15.68 i won again because i had a...

Hi folks, rory182 from cliosport here again, following the success of my justmatz.co.uk and blueflame exhaust group buys I'm organising a tyre group buy. The PE2 tyre as fitted standard on 182 and 182 Trophy is excellent in my opinion and so I'm trying to save a little money when it comes...

Help needed please. Need to get the wheel balancing and alignment sorted on my Trophy. I know a few peeps have had it done to theirs with excellent results. So i need to get it done and im looking for somone to recommend a company to me who they know are good at this type of thing. I am...

I've stretched another couple of months use out of my tyres since I first started considering replacement but I need to get them done now. It's come down to a choice between the standard Michelins or Yoko's at about a tenner a wheel less... Has anyone put Parada's on their Trophy and what did...

Many thanks to Olis for recommending Aurok for my geometry check. Although using the ‘old fashioned’ method of string and gauges, they confirmed my suspicions of incorrect tracking and mismatched camber angles. The camber was obviously slightly out from the factory but the tracking...

Got a puncture repair in one of my tyres, and I am not sure whether or not to trust the repair on track? The tyre place that fitted said that they are rated to 220mph and it should therefore be fine on track, but I'm worried that the increased heat and pressure and the increased movement in the...
