had them on for nearly 2 years now.:)
 
I only try and use conti contact sports. Now on our 3rd set in 5 years. 4th set on the new wheels waiting to be fitted. Around 160 a corner
 
Cheers can't beat the price for sure , would it help if I went 245 on rear 225 front on the handling / feeling of car , think the 245 on rear with my new 15mm spacers look bloody good ! On 17" rims
 
I've never had tranling either on the Maxxis...
 
Thanks for all your help folks , looks like a maxxis order on the cards for me too. !!
 
Yeah I vouch for @zedonist But personally I use Falken 453's off the site tyreleader.co.uk you don't pay the full price then.

Mini mine are 18s
 
Me too on Maxxis. Great tyres, taking my rear wheels in to work to get the tyre lads to swap them side to side to even out the wear on the insides.

Heres a question folks , can I put 245 on rear on 17 inch standard wheels , forgive my ignorance but I noticed (staggered sets alloys) so does thst define tyre width , on 225/45/17 all round the now , and not one tyre make the same !!!!! Was like that when I got it
 
If you do not have the staggered set up then it is 225/45/17 all round. The wheels will be the same size. The staggered set up has a wider rear wheel width so hence the wider rear tyre

Have you considered upgrading to an 18" staggered set up. I have just got these. 255/35/18 rear and 225/40/18 front front rims are 8.5" wide rears are 9.5" wide
