Hello
There are so many highly rated tyres out there. I need two new ones, can't made my mind up out of:
Vredestein sessenta
Toyo TR1
Goodyear Eagle F1
Pirelli P7
Yokohama Parada spec 2
Maxxis MA Z1.
Would be very great full of some advice as I'm desperate for new tyres but just can't make my mind up!

Don't like the bridgestone REO50 that came on my car. Had a few sets of them on a previous car - good in the dry, terrible in the damp, very noisy. Have to say that these ones feel the same, so the construction doesn't appear to have changed particularly since I last had them.

Have used Eagle F1 GSD3 and thought they were really good at the time. Low road noise, plenty of grip in all conditions, and reasonable wear levels.

Toyos were a similar experience, but cheaper and maybe didn't last quite as long.

According to a Bridgestone (2012) test, the S drive equals the Neros in the wet on a curved test but provide more dry grip than the Nero...

I had old pzero nero xls on my 200bhp cupra and then had brand new yokohamas and they couldnt grip as well in the dry.

I was going to suggest Rainsport 2s too. I have them on my car and love them. In saying that I've not heard a bad thing about Vred Sessentas or F1 Assemetrics.

You mention Maxxis. I know someone who has them on his Mk2 Fabia vRS and now swears by them (for summer tyres). He says they are far better than OEM Dunlops or Contis.
