Recommended Posts

Tyre fitter has just recommended Davanti tyres for the T5, 255/45R18

Anyone have experience of these please ???

Currently being used as control tyre in one of the MX-5 race series. I doubt they are amazing but probably "good for the money"!

I have Davanti's on my Kuga - replaced Continentals (235/45 19) - and find them better all round (especially in the wet) than the Conti's.

Managed to get all 4 fitted for £362 (http://www.checkpointautostores.com)...... half the price of Conti's. 

Been very impressed with them.

Interesting, Wendy may need a couple of tyres on her MkII MX5. Unrepairable puncture, but waiting to see if 2011 T1Rs still OK when taken out of a storage unit later today.

Thanks @Wilfman

Tyre guy said they had good wet performance, Wouldn't recommend any other cheaper brands. At £106, £50-60 per corner cheaper than the Yoko/Avon on it at moment.

Sorry for stating the cynically bleeding obvious, but if Davanti are fairly new to the performance market they will be pushing like crazy to get adoption .

Which means they will be offering incentives to anybody who can influence.

Do you get on with your tyre fitter in such a way you know he will be telling you what's best for you and not for the business?

Everybody here is a driver so again this is the bleeding obvious and with greatest respect, but as the boots are the things that might keep you on the road, are they not things to 'over spend' on..?

I get the point you are making but believe me, they are better than Conti's on my Kuga

Haha JK..... was wondering when someone would post that! And of course I'll pay whatever's required to get quality over price.

I trust tyre guy, he openly doesn't like half the tyres he sells but has to sell them because numpties want them. Just interested as always open to new options.

What can I say... Spent 10 years being forced to paddle in the cess pool that is the world of sales - I can't help it if my view of the world is 'less than trusting' :down:
