Before you order from the Camskill website, Double check the load and speed index of the tyres is correct for your application. I can see one is Z and one is Y. The Y rated tyre has a load rating of 92. The Z rated tyre does not state a load rating. So I would check that both have a high enough rating for your requirements.

Enjoy what's left of your weekend

Will do James, i'm doing some research, i still have a way to go i think ready for the time when it comes. Thanks and same to you too.

Found this site which I think is very useful especially for those with older sizes and after best tyres from what is available

Well - I am pleased to report that my Toyo's arrived yesterday from Demon Tweeks. They look so small against my 20" A6 wheels!

Just wondered if you bought the Toyo's and how they were? Ordered the same as alternatives were expensive Pirelli's or Nankang's which everyone says not to touch.

Well - we will have a choice soon!

Resurrecting an old thread, I now have everything ready for an underside rebuild on my ur, the last thing will be new tyres, I can’t get a sensible answer about the compounds on the longstone Pirelli’s and I’m very sure, much like the current set they will life out before they ever wear out.

Vredestein Sprint Plus
215/50 R15 88W
These are another option designed for the quattro as well as another old timer and a little cheaper
Originals were 215/50 R 15 88 V
Above are W and same loading
Pirelli are a ZR which is way over spec so for either insurance on an 88W shouldn't have an issue
I purchased a set of remake 16"'s Ronal copies recently offered as a short batch run so I can have a better choice if I go that way with original look. 215/45/16's give a good top brand option for £100-£115/corner - P7's -Sport 3s etc

Were the 16 inch remakes the ones that had some problems first time out ? Did they get resolved or is this another make ?

QuattroBird · 06-05-21, 06:33 AM

The only issue was the profile for the bolt. They have supplied new bolts with captive insert to suit so bolts are not interchangeable so I would keep like with like if I use them. Currently in boxes as an option.
Always remember fords using an inch larger rim for the bigger engine of the same car and always looked better. Wondered if the same with the ur

They didn’t supply my bolts, and gave me a lot of flannel about can’t reimburse if tyres have been fitted, blah blah. Totally in defiance of trading standards.
It’s a sequence of lies that they peddle.

It’s criminal what that shower of shite get up to. They’re still in boxes waiting for collection and disposal.
