182 Trophy No. 223
i went from eagle f1's to toyo t1-r's and teh difference was rediciliously good, i have got exaltos atm, they're like driving on ice, really dont like them!
Maybe many of us have always had them since getting a clio and are just "used" to them, or havent actually experienced any other tyres?
Just throwing ideas in the air!

It could be that the exaltos are designed to be less grippy but more playful over the limit, therefore being more 'fun' to drive with instead of just being the stickiest tyre possible?Bennigin said:
I agree that the F1s aren't quite so grippy in the dry as Toyos (T1-S is what I have at the moment, had F1's before this) but the F1s are amazing in the wet, nice and progressive when at and over the limit, whereas the Toyo's are, um, s**t once they let go... LoL

Had pirelli p6000's on my old 306 and found the grip pretty good .
Then on my old 172 mk2 the contis wore out on the front in 7.5k miles .
Then moved on to toyo proxes t1 -s's , grip in the dry was good , in the wet not as good as i hoped , crashed the car on a left hander ,lol
Then tried the toyo proxes t1-r's , felt the same as the t1-s's .
Just bought a new 182 with cup packs . WOW , what a difference in grip the exaltos give , more than happy with em so far

I've had all different types on my cars. I've had Eagle F-1S both GSD2's and GSD3's. The only difference with these tyres that i could find was the tread pattern. The both stuck to the road very well in both wet and dry conditions. I'm very fussy about the look of my cars so I use Long Life Rubber Tyre Dressing on them, With the goodyears you can really tell how soft the compound is, the rubber ends up being splatted up the side of the car. I then went to A539's on a 17" rim from a 15". The tyre width was 20mm greater on each wheel, so a 80mm improvement all round so I thought that the grip would have been even better. How wrong could I have been!!! They we awful. They lasted 4 days and then put T1-S's on. These were on a par with the goodyears but much cheaper. The compound is slightly harder so duration is up on the Goodyears.
Just fitted some T1-s's to my girlfriends 172 and the grip is a lot better and the road noise is greatly reduced. Toyos all the way for me. Best performance per pound!

I agree that Toyo's are pretty good value for money.
I think I'm going back to F1's next time though, especially if it's wet, but I'll probably run T1-S's over summer again this year. (was supposed to be swapping them back for the F1's this winter but never got round to it! lol)

Clio 182 Full fat
Yoko parada spec-2s me and my dad have them on our cars and i reccomend them very good tyres
No more clio's for me!
I replaced my front tyres a couple of weeks ago, totally skint so i had to go for budget verdistein dutch rubber, i must admit i was worried what they'd be like, but i must say i'm pleasently surprised. Not bad for 50 quid a corner!
michelin pilot exalto - Cos they were designed for the car, and at £77.90 incl. P&P what more dya want! :clown:

Just had the 205 45 16's fitted and no rubbing yet but haven't given it any beans yet. Just driving home they feel pretty good but then I sampled them in my mates 182 cup at Bedford last saturday.

I'm currently using Pirelli Pzero Nero, they seem to grip well in wet an dry, an allow me to put down a lot of power in the wet... But there life span aint the best i dont think...
