Best tyres?

[Rip3z]

For all weather use on roads (not track).

I'll probably get 185/55/15's too.

Exaltos?

 

[White16valver]

F1s

 

[V1NNY]

Yeah would have to say the best tyres for alround road use would have to be the goodyear eagle f1's gsd3's

 

[Rip3z]

F1's good when wet?

 

[White16valver]

Can only get gsd2's in 185/55/15 but they are still amazing

You can drive in the wet like it's dry

 

[Rip3z]

You can't get F1's, or Gds3's in 185/55?

Will I notice a difference from my cheapo tyres i have on now?

 

[V1NNY]

you can get GSd2's in that size

 

[V1NNY]

just had a look on mytyres and you can get the original exalto's and the new PE2's, didnt know they still did the orig exalto's, they are good tyres just as good as the PE2's

Definitely! In heavy rain you remove that uneasy feel that feels like you're almost aquaplaning at speed, as it feels like they're cutting through to the road below

i've got maragoni (sp?) zetas on my new wheels and they look amazing. Also feel a lot better when driving

 

[rory182]

I used to get 14" exaltos for my 205gti, brilliant wet and dry

 

[DebV6]

What tyres come on the car, are they cheap crap ones or they any good?

 

[Alan]

Do you mean whats on your 182? ^^

 

[DebV6]

Yeah, sorry!

 

[Alan]

Nah the Michelin Pilot Exalto 2's are ok, though pretty expensive....the Goodyear F1 Eagle GSD3's as just as good if not better IMO.

 

[TomS]

Pilot Exalto 2's

Got them on the valver... superb

 

[Alan]

Tom don't belive the hype son......'can, worms open'....lol

 

[Rip3z]

Doh, F1 and GDS3's are the same - where's that corner?

 

[Lee]

I loved the F1s GS-D3s I had on the 172, but the Exaltos are better IMO.

You wouldn't be disappointed with either.

 

[V1NNY]

i prefered the old exalto's to the new ones tbh

 

[TomS]

lol I have no hype to believe!

I'll be sticking with the PE2's

 

[V1NNY]

contisport contact are good too

 

[Lee]

contisport contact are good too

I quite liked them on the 172 as standard. Not got massive levels of grip, but you could hang the back end out at will. They really did squeal under hard cornering too.

 

[Alan]

Conti's are gash, too soft!

 

[TomS]

I had conti sports on my old clio.. not bad.. but agree with 16vclio.. they are relatively soft

 

[V1NNY]

yeah they are a bit soft and wear quickly, the new contisport contact 2 are out, any one tried them?
