PE2s or Eagle F1's ?

[Turkish]

Anyone had both of these in 16" on a 172 or 182? if so how do they compare. Also they're Listing two different variants of the F1s on a few sites so say which one you had, ta.

I tried the F1's a while back and couldn't get on with the side movement you get from the nearly vertical tread pattern. Got the PE2's now and love them. Everyone likes different though eh.

I went purely on the mytyres review where the F1s were the best. I always liked the Contis too.

Anything useful to add?

Hhhmm two different opinions. Be useful if there was someone on here with a 182 with a set of F1s on i could have a spin in but i doubt there are.

i've only had eagle f1's and contis, and from what i can tell, the eagle f1's sidewalls are too flexible, but the treadwear on the conti's is piss poor.
Depends what you're after i s'pose.

**i've just realise i'm of no use to this thread whatsoever**

TBR ran F1's on a 182 at about 60 psi, to quote the test driver Mr Jon Richardson and passenger Mr Wee Man, " fcuking hell were slowing down this is dangerous"

Looking like i'll stick with the PE2s so far then.

 

[Bluebeard]

^^ thats what i may do i think, everyone rates them quite highly.

 

[Turkish]

I've been impressed with them. I was up for trying a different set but if there's nothing out there thats worth trying i'll stick with them.

Conti's are ok but they're harder, so a lot more squeel and slide but that's fun too.

PE2's are pretty good imo.

could try the parada spec 2's (205/45/16), no squirm, decent in the wet, at goodwood they were excellent. had a double blow out with the contis. not tried the pe2's. just bought 4 f1's in 15" to try for the 'wet' season, wont be using them on track unless its lashing it down, hope they are not to flexible or they will be going..

i got parada's (205/45/16)

they are really really good

I really like the F1s, Alan has tried both of them though. TBH I doubt you can go wrong with either!

 

[haitch]

anybody seen the parada spec 2 in 15"?

 

[Alan]

I've used both as John said...

Both as good as each other tho i found the the f1 breaks away a bit more cleanly than the PE2 maybe due to the tread pattern but as i said both as good as each other.

When i come to replacing in a few months it'll be the PE2's again.

Winter's coming up - F1's all the way

I hear that the sidewalls are softer than the PE2s but I think a softer breakaway would be ideal in the wet lol

 

[Alan]

Yeah the sidewall on the PE2 seems to flex a bit more than the F1 mate ^^
