There's loads of old threads covering this subject - so I'm sure a quick search will provide you with all the answers!

In short I know a lot of people swear by Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3's - I'm running a set myself and they seem to be a good all round tyre (although do slip a bit iin second when the roads are damp)

Can't comment on Toyo though...

Falken's are highly regarded on here too

I think i have a brand new set at home never use and the michelin on x2 though

Toyo T1R are my tyre of choice.
Excellent grip in all weather.
But search for popular answers and buy the ones to suit your budget.

decided to go with Toyo T1R.cost me £300 for all 4 delivered to my door.good saving as most places round by me want £100-£110 fitted.prob cost me about £10 to get them fitted per tyre.so saved myself about £100.i got them from camskills cheapest i could find.

how much do garages tend to charge to fit tyres that you have purchased separately over the net??

 

[leon1783]

i got charged £10 a tyre.although ive been to some garages and they dont like doing it cause you aint bought the tyres from them.but i carnt see why if there earning money out of it.
