Poll: Which make of tyre would YOU choose

[LEE69]

I'm edging too Hankook ventus V12 evo when mine need replacing, would like more than 8k ish from the F1 GSD3 i have now.

 

[Mr Bigglesworth]

V quick question, my fronts are down to 3mm, so will be changing them pretty soon, just going to change the 2 tyres for now, should the newest tyres go on the front or the back (1.8T LC btw).

 

[wisejason]

Most people say but the new on the rear; but I never did as the ones on the rear had loads of tread left. The only done side then is that you will end up replacing all 4 in one go.

Bridgestone

Why does nobody ever use Bridgestone Potenzas, Ifind them a great improvement over the standard P zero's.

Micks Tyres in Mansfield. I think European Tyres near the Gateway Hotel in Nottingham (A610) do them for the same price, but I didn't see the point of travelling from Mansfield to Nottingham to get the same thing for the same price

MJT, like that video

 

[gazR]

thanks antnee ive heard of them, the amount of times of drive by and never knew they were based on elm tree street. ill keep them in mind when my tyres are due

what if the front have different sizes to the back? i think alot of bmw's do

 

[AntneeUK]

Um, I dunno! Thankfully LCR are the same front and rear.

You're in Mansfield regularly are you?

 

[JONNYVT]

vredestein, just fitted 4, they are great and look cool too (bonus!) Had Goodyear F1 before, they were good too, cheers

 

[AntneeUK]

Yeah, had Ultrac Sessanta on the rear prior to replacing all four with the F1s. Good tyres, weird tread pattern, hard to get hold of

Really hard to get hold of! Would like to give them a try when my F1's are low

Wont go wrong, ace tyres one of the tyres i highly reccomend if you read my tyre posts.

 

[LEE69]

Yeah i did, they offer far more than F1 GSD3's wear rate is loads better too.

 

[Shaunyboy]

Yeah great all round tyre with alot of good reviews, goodyears have mixed reveiws i find, and alot of the dear tyres wear so fast and cost the earth when the hankook is jsut as good imo.

 

[wisejason]

Yep can't agree more. I've done 1k on the Hankooks now and they are very good.

The only time you can notice a difference to the F1 Assym's I had before is they don't quite have the same level of grip when its wet and the inside wheel breaks traction a little easier when putting power down.

 

[nicksxjr]

had the fk452s fitted this morning. very pleased much stickyer! not bad for £160 fitted inc the vat!
