Tyre recomendations

[ebo007]

Its time to replace the tyres on my car, I have the standard wheels still on. I curently have Pirelli P zero's on the back and some Yoko's on the front.
I'm lookng at some Eagle F1 on camskill.co.uk @ £55 which look ok, Just wondered what everyone else has on there's?
Thanks

I had the eagle f1'a when i had my original 16' rims and they were a very good tyre for the price... good in the wet and a great dry weather trye to. Bought mt 17' OZ's and they came with brand new Toyo Proxes T1-S. Again a very good tyre. Had them on 6months now and still have good tred left on all four but specially and importantly the fronts. Cheapo tyres will get minced on a front wheel drive car like ours. The Toyos seem and popular choice on this forum... and they are resonabily priced!

i have toyo something on mine its feels like its on rails il find out what they properly are tomorow

 

[RichN]

Toyo are a good choice, I get mine for about £50, I've tried Proxes 4's and T1R's, and I probably prefer the T1R's. I use R888's on a different car so I am a bit of a Toyo fan.

 

[Dan1.6]

i love them avons are good as well

Next year i am buying goodyear f1's - i know a few friends with them and also grip well in wet too.

 

[SEATCOOBER]

toyo prox px4s also good in wet and not bad on wear either very good in dry and at 53 quid a tyre cant go wrong!!

I had Toyo Proxe T1-S on my old wheels, and loved them in the dry, but shite in the wet tbh!

I now have Yokohama S Drives on the new wheels, and cant fault them! Great in dry and wet!

 

[ian_cupra]

F1's

 

[chrissy1502002]

Yokohama Prada Spec 2's, thats what im running, not the best in the wet, but rather good in the dry

 

[pj1985]

Pzero Neros or Yoko Parada Spec 2 for me. The Yokos are not quite as good in the wet but are very good in the dry.

 

[Ricardo_Smooth]

yoko's ftw, you shouldn't be flying around in the wet anyhow imo

 

[A9_SLU]

Pzero Neros i found proxys really bad in the wet

 

[wilz]

proxys not the best i the wet and wear too quickly for my liking in the dry, awesome grip in the dry though

Now have F1's and can't fault them, also have some uniroyal rain sports in the garage good write up on them for the wet.

 

[Riko]

TR1-s are useless in the wet and not the best in the dry from my experience. Eagle F1s are what i have on the rear and they're fantastic! Guna be putting some on the from after the winter.
I have my winter runners on atm with Yoko (somethings) on the front and Avon (somethings) on the rear and both are surprisingly good on this weather! They cost about £60 a corner so should be reasonable!

 

[RichN]

So Ebo, from this thread alone you can tell there's no real answer - just a variety of different opinions.

 

[ian_cupra]

tried goodyear f1's, toyo t1-r and t1-s, goodyears were by far the better of the lot, and goodyears are proven around the track in both wet and dry, (in the wet was only just slower than the dry)

 

[Robbie C]

Uniroyal Rainsport 2's ftw

Had four new ones fitted last week, got them for £57 a corner from Camskill

Yet to give them a real pounding but initial impressions are very good. I took them out when the roads were greasy and didn't get any loss of traction

 

[AaronGS]

Anyone using winter tyres at this time of year?

 

[Davem]

I used both toyo t1-r's and t1-s's. Good tyres liked them alot. Then got a good deal on eagle f1's. Stick just as good prob abit better and last longer. Will be what ill be gettin when time to change tyres. They make curbing your alloys pretty impossible aswell with the rim protection lol.
