I love them been on me car a couple of months now
Very good grip in the dry loads better than the Goodyear GSD3 i had on before but they are not very good in the wet the goodyears were better.
But I bether to have better grip in the dry
The car just feels loads better when cornering i am able to push it i bit harder.

Hope this helps

Dk I have had 8 sets now there the bollox trust me you won't regret it I love them best tyre I have ever had ,

Oh and they last quite a while mate when I 1st met you at the track day way back at bhp a few years back I have only had to replace the fronts since then

What is the "average" miles for such tires?? is 10.00? 20.000? 30.000? km

 

[Murdered LCR]

All depends how you drive I guess 1 burn out and there gone lol but I would say my fronts lasted at least 10000 miles and rears poss near 20000 there still going

just put a set on my cossie, well happy with them, not used them in the wet tho, but it doesn't come out in the wet anyway.

How do you find them in the wet Dan ?

 

[Murdered LCR]

Tbh mate I find them great never had any problems if I did I wouldn't use them cos of the lil one now , people moan there not good in the wet but I have never had any issues I do drive quite hard when on my own in all conditions ,

I've used them for the last 5 years. They're fantastic! went to the Nurburgring on them, and have just done castle combe today on them. Scrubbed up nicely!!! In the wet they're a bit iffy, but as long as you change your style for wet conditions (as you should anyway) then you won't find a problem with them!

I know not often mentioned, but what's the noise like? And the comfort?

Reason I ask is I hated my Dunlop Sport Maxx and Falken 452s cos of those factors whereas the Eagle F1 Asym were great.

Noise echo against country walls was like if you breath out with with your lips in a small O.

awsome tyres for the money. Had them on my 206 gti 180 and was very impressed. Wore much better than the t1r's previous imo.

ran these on the clio i had before the lcr and was well impressed with the grip,only issue i had was how quick they wore due to being really sticky when hot,got bout 10000 on them though so still not bad going

+1, I'd be interested to know what different tyres are like for road noise and comfort too. I've got the Falken 452s just now and they're noisy and make for a tough ride as well as being a bit poor grip-wise too.

There not a budget tyre so arnt noisy I see falkens as the lower end of a performance tyre altho can't remeber them being noisy I have had them befor my pradas and didn't like them hence the change ,i think there pretty quite on the road , every one has different views and at the end of the day it's down to your personal choice

I never got on with my parada 2 tyres on my LCR.
Rubbish in the wet (we live in the UK) and not that brilliant in the dry.
They did last well though.
GSD3 for me.
