Are F1's worth the money??

[mr.leatherday]

Hi all are f1s realy worth the money? or is there a cheaper tyre thats as good? as i need 2 new fronts . thanks martin

Damn right they are, i wont use anything else.

Try a Toyo T1-R, absolutely superb tyre, I've never felt more confident on the road.

Alternately, if you really are on a budget, try Falken FK452. They are about £60 a corner and for the money, you won't get much better.

 

[warren_cox]

YES

Next question.

Yeh, F1's are superb and worth the money. I like to try all different ones. At the moment I am on Michelin Pilot Sports £320 for 4 from Cost Co. Absolute bargain for a great tyre. The last set I had which were the Vredastein Sessantas were the best tyre I have ever driven but when driving them hard they wear quite quickly

toyo's or f1's for me.

i'm have 4 new f1's fitted next week.

Are these 225/40/18's?

I'm running these and 4 of them cost me just over £600 fitted last year with a discount from the RRP of £720.

F1s are grippy as hell but wear really quickly. Last pair I had on the front lasted 8000miles.
2 weeks ago i purchased some toyo tr1 s and they seem 98% as good.

 

[munkyboy]

No I am running on 225/45/17 I think, but i remember i asked for a price for my mate who is on 18's and they werent that much more expensive. The tyres were buy 4 and get 20% off I think they cost £103 each but i ended up changing all round for the discount.

 

[Davem]

get the f1's you wont regret it. Just got another two for my ibiza so i got all f1's around.

I got my last ones from Valuetyres, try them also for fitted price from your local tyre place (works on postcode).

F1's are a mint tyre, amazing grip in the dry and just as good in the wet. Toyo t1-r are good in the dry but almost dangerous in the wet.

F1's all the way!

Cost Co as in http://www.costco.co.uk/?

 

[mr.leatherday]

yeah ive seen tyres at the cost co in sheffield

 

[dirk1978]

Just don't even try going out in the snow on F1's. May as well run on the rims.

Yeh, I don't know if they have their tyres on deals at the moment but they are quite cheap and only deal with michelin. Be warned though, if you need just the front two changed they will want to put the backs on the front and you get brand new ones on the back. They will not change just fronts as apparently its their policy with Michelin. They also fill the tyres up with nitrogen which is better for the tyre.

Even hedgemasters are crap in the snow, what a stupid statement!
