I know tyres has come up on this forum a few times but i need some opions;

Looks like im gonna be needing a new set of rubber for my 172 at the mo i have Michelin Pilots, however these are a tad bit pircy and i have been told "aint all that"..... not that i have any problems with them.

My local tyre dealer can sort me out some

Toyo Proxes T1s for £39 each

Eagle F1 £45 each

Or shall i go for some Yoko A539s which i am yet to get a price on??

Exaltos are better than Toyo T1s

Wet weather hybrid tyres they may be but when it rains that is normally what you want...
