[Fred@BTM]

*b**ch slap for tommy*

forgot to mention im a student too, so cheaper the better!!!!

 

[Tom]

get nangkangs

or sd3000s

Id go with Toyos, not as good as the Goodyear GSD3, but at half the price the difference isnt that much. Im back on Toyo after my standard Contis, and gotta say Im mighty impressed. £41 in 195/45/16 is the cheapest tyre.

 

[Fred@BTM]

nangkananangs????? tom its a car not a kung fu film!

im gonna get the toyos then, had them before, reasonable price, wear out after 2000miles but ah well!!!

 

[Rich-D]

Go for Toyos mate...

I had these on my 306 Rallye and although they aint quite as good as the Bridgestone S-02s they replaced, they were still bl00dy good and cost half as much. They also lasted longer!

When the Contis go on my Cup Ill be getting Toyos for this!

Where can you get them for £41? I have done 8 k on my Contis and think ill need some new ones within the next 1-2 k. If the GSD3s are really that good id be willing to pay the extra....

In 195/45/16 on mytyres: toyos are £41.6 and the GSD3 is £81.30. The wear rate is similar. The performance whilst better in GSD3 in the wet is better, it really doesnt justify the extra cost in my opinion. In the dry ther really is little difference. Although both have a high wear rate, but better that the Contisports.

Uniroyal RainSport Ones.

 

[Gunner]

I thought Eagle F1s were supposed to be the dogs? No one has mentioned them!

 

[wackojacko]

err Dont wanna make you feel a dumb ass but.......

There called Eagle F1 GSD3s!!!!

At £82 per tyre. Thats alot for 4 newuns!!

 

[Gunner]

Yeh I know their full name is "Eagle F1 GSD3s" but theyre commonly refered to as just "Eagle F1s"

 

[Bryan]

fred - you have had toyos before, you know what theyre like

i had them, and you know how i rated them

the only suggestions i have are

goodyear eagle f1
bridgestone potenza s-03

 

[Fred@BTM]

[Paul Clio 16v]

Yokohama A539s. £50 a corner and sh*t hot in the rain.

The Yokis are far to soft though IMO.

Fred try Micheldiever tyres, cheap as chips especially if your gonna buy 2 or 4. Always busy hence the good prices.

 

[Paul Clio 16v]

Softer tyres grip best.

 

[jon_r]

but wear out faster

 

[Swervin_Mervin]

Better than spinning in to a field due to a lack of grip though

 

[VoRN-182]

I had Avon ZV1s on my old car and they were the daddies! Not cheap though!

 

[alnug]

for those of you on a budget but want the performance I would suggest Kumho 712 http://www.kumhousa.comwww.kumhousa.com or Federal SS595 http://www.federaltire.comwww.federaltire.com . I am sure many people would come out and say with Michelin Exaltos, Potenza S-02PP, Goodyear F1,Toyo. Although the Toyo is cheaper than the others they are still very expensive if you are on a budget. You may not have heard of Federal but i strongly suggest you look at the SS595, its a stunning tyre, Im trying to get some for my coupe at the moment. They sell for £64 for 205/45R16...compare that to the other main stream brands.

There is a huge range of tyres on http://www.topgear.co.ukwww.topgear.co.uk they are doing free delivery until the end of October. Ive tried the Potenza S-02PP and i have to say they are a nice tyre but the wear rate and the cost just doesnt justify me buying again.....

 

[pep87]

I was told you cant get gsd3 for the cup(195/45/16) only gsd2s????

 

[sjtb]
