lcr tyres ???

[matstrooper]

hi all just wondered what tyres you think are best for lcr's i have good year eagle f1's on at the minute which are good just wondered what you all think

 

[james walker]

eagle f1s, gsd3s

falken 452s are good also, and cheaper...

think youve probably got the best on there already.

toyo r888 are the new thing, but bloody dodgy when wet, they are a track based tyre, awesome when dry though

 

[tripdiesel]

the F1 asymetrics are very good tires, either them or the falkens i shall be going for also alot of people i know have started using toyo t1-r's

Useful comparison for you , http://www.liam27.com/stuff/EVO_TyreTest_2007_GTI.pdf

yep general consensus is F1s but have a search round the leon forum its a common question

im using michelin PS2s after having some goodyears on,and i think theyr amazing!they have so much grip,winding country roads are no bother,launching at crail was a breeze, im most likely going to stick with the michelin PS2s all the way.noticable improvement.

Im running Eagle F1's all round. Think they are very good in the wet and dry.

I'm going to change my tyres on the LCR shortly and after reading alot of posts seems the Goodyear's are the best but at roughly £110-120 a tyre very expensive, I have read good reviews on the Falken 452's and can pick them up for roughly £65 a tyre from camskills, so think I will be going for these.

i know a mate who has falken 452s fitted to his modified Subaru P1.
and if that is good enough for a scooby P1 it has to be better for my Leon.

I though that Falken 452's were replaced by 912's??
Anyway wouldn't fit anything other than GYE F1 Asymmetric's/ Hankook EVO's/Michi PS2's or Dunlope MAXX TT's. These are the ones tested scientifically and come out tops. Falkens never tested in these tests which is a good enough nod to there performance for me.
Tyres are all about wet handling, if it wasn't then we would all be on slicks.
Any tyre can handle good in the dry, even Falkens

+1.

I'd agree that you want to base your tyre choice on wet weather performance (and agree scientific testing is the best route as placebo is such a big effect when it comes to spending money on new things).

Evo and Autocar tyre tests from 2007:

Apparently, however, Pirelli has relaunched the P-Zero tyre that we all got rid of with a new improved design for 2009 and has been winning awards in Germany and the latest Autoexpress tyre tests:

I haven't read enough on the new Pirelli to comment about that but the Asymmetric is a very good wet weather tyre (and obviously great in the dry).

I can't really diss them as I haven't used them, but being shunned from every tyre test ever done says something to me
