Tyre suggestions for my cup

[Spee]

ive always swore by F1s but they were getting pricey, at £29 a corner for T1-Rs i gave them a go after a mate recomended them and they are awesome wet or dry and i dont hang about!!

I read that TR1s are superb in the dry, but I rarely read anything but negatives about them in the wet, and not just on this forum. You find them OK I take it?

I'd swear by the Toyo T1R as an alrounder. Just put them on my 182 for the winter. In the summer I'll be back on the Goodyear Eagle F1s. Great tyre and run them on my VX220. Only problem being they don't shift the water very well, but the Toyos are ace.

People will always be divided by tyres and there is a lot of brand loyalty. Personally I have run lots of different tyres over the years and I haven't found one I like as much as the Toyo & Goodyear. I found the Khumos too hard for me. In the colder weather they broke traction under acceleration too easily. Couldn't fault them for sideways grip though.

At the end of the day you can waste £££s trying all sorts of different tyres. Try some different ones. If you really hate them then people do buy tyres off e-bay second hand and you can change to something else.

I had T1-R's for a week. They're f*cking dangerous in the wet!

I found the VX on T1R's to be a total pain in the ass to drive wet or dry lol. Pikey kumhos to the rescue

See what I mean! I've heard this SO many times, I'm not sure I could be bothered paying to find out for myself!

iirc toyos need a good 1K dry miles to get all the release compound crap and general toss rubber scrubbed off, but even then they are a mediocre tyre imho

Jesus Christ mitch, put a few more letters in your words and take the time to make your posts easier for everyone else to read. :dapprove:

You would have got more replies having presented your question in the correct manner.

On a positive note, I ran Continental Sport Contacts all round on my 172 from brand new down to the tread wear indicator and they were never short of impressive. Managed 25,000 miles on the fronts. Proper driving too, not trundling around town.

Michelin Pilot Exaltos on the 182 Cup at the moment. Happy with these too. :approve:

Hope this helps - apologies for the grammar lesson - not meant offensively.

Cool. Any ideas what you're going for yet?
Contis are around £80 a corner
Exaltos £95+ per corner
Vredestein Sportrac 3 ???? £65 a corner for a highly rated tyre.
