Eagle F1’s on a cup

[Brazo]

Has anyone tried these on a cup?

How do they compare to the original contis?

Are the side walls stiff enough for hard track use?

Cheers in advance!

 

[Dansta]

yes.

fantastic.

dunno.

no problems.

 

[Brazo]

Oh and how much should I pay for 4 fitted?



Cheers

 

[Turkish]

speak to me you t**ser ill get a deal for you

 

[Gary Brown]

Yes

Worse in the dry, better in the wet. But this might be only because my previous tyres were practically slicks.

Dunno

I paid £104 per tyre fitted (got 2) 205 17 40s.

I had them on my cup and didnt like them. They are a lot stickier than the contis but I found quite a bit of side movement from the rear especially under heavy braking and faster driving. I got them for 77 quid each fitted and the guy came to the door.

Id imagine they wear out a lot faster aswell. I didnt get to try them on the track though.

 

[Brazo]

I do hear both pos and neg things about them

Best stick with the contis or can someone recommend an even better tyre?

 

[CHRIS172CUP]

Maybe the yokohamas, not sure about the real spec, A5??. A few have them in here.

i used eagle f1s on 205/40/17s, they dont seme to last very long but the grip is great! just the price that puts me off. I replaced these with Pirelli P700s and they kept the car more stable and still gave the car loads of grip. They seem to last longer as well.

Currently Im using cheapo Yokos, but they are awful!

Toyo proxes T1-s.......£55 quid a corner.

Better in wet and dry.

Good on track.

So cheap, they are almost disposable !

 

[Brazo]

How about exalto 2s?

Im very close to getting the Eagles on my car next, although im changing to 215/40 r16, although i am also thinking of Pirelli P Zero Neros. I will put a post up when ive got them and of my impression. Should have them within a week or so.

Anything but that mate! havent recovered from the last session

 

[Brazo]

Next Loony youve got to sort me out with a stealth exaust, hidden as per std spec and no or litle increased noise!

 

[182_blue]

I got eagle gsd3s on mine, and they are 100% better that the contis that were on it before, it just handles so much better, no movement etc.

really happy with them.

they cost me £64 each delivered
