Goodyear Eagle F1's or Hankook V12's

[DanCup172]

Right Guys,

Where the hell do i get these in 195/45R16? I've looked absolutely everywhere.

Just got 2 brand new Pirelli P Zero Nero's on the back, giving me P Zero's all round, and the car is nowhere near as fun to drive! Extremely twitchy rear end. Both rear shocks and springs are new.

Any help appreciated guys,

​Dan

Check the tyre pressures.

Give it 100 miles to get any moulding coating off the surface of the new tyres too.

Eagle F1, couldn't fault mine.. Just a brilliant tyre. Great in all weather!

Hankook V12's dont come in that size, you need to go 205/45/16, which is what i have done, else you can get the Hankook Ventus Prime in 195

Where do I get them in that size SjK?

Theevilgiraffe, What pressures you reccomend? Im running 31 front 29 rear

Cheers for the replies guys

Nothing wrong with P Zero's IMO.

Better than F1's and V12's all day.

 

[DanCup172]

At higher speeds (60/70) even changing lanes makes the rear end feel unstable and twitchy. F1 Eagles were on before and had none of the above problems

Something not right then. I used Pzeros for plenty of track days.

 

[James28]

Wheel balancing?

 

[Lal B3N]

Something not right, Pzeros are epic tyres. Would use them over both in the title anyday.

Wheels tight? Are the tyres the same speed rating? You can get 84W XL and 84V XL.

Pretty sure they discontinued the Eagle F1s in that size. If you really want to swap tyres, try Vredstein Sportrac 5

All been checked James, been checking it regularly since I've had them fitted. It's scary on the motorway!

V12s i had were crap i shall not use them again.

The michelin PS3's are hard to beat

Any new tyres will feel spongey and loose feeling initially. I find it really noticeable especially on the rear, but its the same with most modern tyres. If I've ever had to fit just a pair, I always put them on the front for a few hundred miles as they get a better work-out to scrub up/heat them through, until thats happened they will feel terrible.

Swap them round and feel the difference!

Sorry I don't know. Was just stating how good the F1's were.

Had F1's there great but depending on your driving they may not last very long (6 weeks for me) can get them off cam skill but i got mine at a local garage

Just wanted to get the black armbands out.

No Goodyear Eagles for any 15/16 inch sizes anymore.

I guess it'll have to be Bridgestones now

Ouch!

Never been able to obtain Hankooks - they've always been out of stock when I need to buy them.

Is it the assy F1's? The old G3 V ones were an utterly superb tyre, sadly they stopped making them.

 

[fatboymal]

I couldn't find the F1's anywhere last year when I was looking for a pair, and was told they had stopped making them. Now hey seem to be everywhere again.

Michelin pilot sport 3 lol.

 

[fatboymal]

Just had a pair of Eagle F1 GSD3s in 205/45 16 delivered from Camskill, tyres date May 2013 - seems that they are back in manufacture!

Superb, they stopped making them and made the assy ones.
