AS the thread says im about to purchase .....

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....10024&_sacat=See-All-Categories&_fvi=1&_rdc=1

But i want to be sure they are gonna be a good tyre in the wet as im still getting my confidence back after buying sh1t tyres and having this happen

Money is not an issue with tyres so should i stick with the toyo's or so for somthing else ??

 

[mike1pow]

[Whisker biscuit]

Anyone ?

 

[Hoaxy]

OUCH! Uniroyal Rainsport 2's ftw!

I've got Toyo Proxes 4, they are mint in the dry, a tad slippy in the wet if you push it. Wheelspins from traffic lights when driving normally too.

T1-R's are fantastic, simple rule, don't drive fast/like a tit in the wet (not saying you were, just a standard rule!)

 

[J4mes]

ive got gsd3's they feel pretty good whatever the weather

Toyo T1-R's FTW

i was about to do a thread like this
so theyre fine but keep the "enthusiastic" driving for the dry?

 

[sideways danny]

Toyos are good but soft so make sure the geometry is spot on or they'll get eaten. I like Bridgestone, Firestone, Michelin, Dunlop and Toyo. Outside of those i wouldn't really bother, though some like Goodyears too.

Cant really remember mate but it looks like it says alpha on the sidewall if you make the pic larger.

As for driving in the wet at speed lets just say thats been sorted lol although that 206 was a 2.0 gti, I owned it for a year and a half and drove it hard in all conditions without a problem.
I bought 2 new tyres for the front as the others were getting a bit low, but the new ones just kept spinning even after 500-1000 miles so I swaped front and rear to stop wheelspin and maybe 1000 miles later the back end came out on me the corner wasnt that bad just must have been a bit greasy.

Those are Accelera Alpha tyres on the pug and don't do too badly in tests
