Cyclone tyres
#1
Anyone running cyclones on 50 profile tyres and lowered say 60mm?

Can get tyres real cheap and wondering has anyone done it, any photos?

You'll find most people run 50 profiles as they're cheaper.

Moved to the correct section Smile

Correct, 50 profiles are a lot cheaper but you do ever so slightly compromise comfort and speedo accuracy (only by a tiny amount though!)

I've found that 55's are generally cheaper and easier to find
But either way 50'. Are fine and.better suited to a low car

Where have you been looking?! lol, 50s are always cheaper in my experience. They also look better on a lowered car, in my opinion.

I had 50's on the old car, this one came with 55's and I find it looks better as it fills the arches more.

Anyone got any pictures of this? Interested in doing both, tyres on my cyclones are on theyre way out so means I have an excuse to refurb them and get new rubber (2nd hand off a mate) but for two kuhmos and two random budgets hes after £30 which is dead on considering they have decent tread alone.

After having both now, I'd always go for 55 profiles - it's not until you go back to them that you realise how much better they drive on them... I was always an advocate of 50 profiles, but now, I'd always have 55s, even with their increased cost.

Decent 55s with a strong sidewall drive WAY better than shoddy 50 profiles.

That's just me though.... I feel you can ALWAYS tell Peugeot designed them to be on 55 profiles...

Tad low at the back but the front gives an idea!

Im not after extreme handleability or anything, just if theyre dead on and dont look silly arch gap wise then ill get them, its cheap at 30 quid for 4 tyres, itl do me a few mile anyways!
