Tyres (K11) - What tyres for best economy

Hi

What tyres for best economy on a K11?

My fronts down low and need replacing.

Any K11 owners got any reviews?

Throughout my years of driving I've always found narrower and cheap make tyres to be the most economical. The downside to these are that they are made out of hard rubber, rubbish when it comes to grip.

OK many thanks. Tho K11's don't handle great anyway!

Eh, part worns will do. £10 each around my neck of the woods.

About £15-18 for part worns for me. Just make sure there in good nick if you get them. No crazing or cracking on the rubber.

Also if your handling is rubbish I put 30-40 mm lowering springs on mine. Best 60 quid I've spent. Not too harsh a ride, goes round corners, and makes the wheel arch gap look like a normal car.
