Tyres but not Exalto

[vdust182]

Need 4 new tyres for the 182. I'm not willing to payout for the Exaltos as they are now too expensive.

Which is the best equivalent? I've had a search and it's mixed between Toyo Proxies (Which seem good value) and Eagle F1's.

Whats the life of the proxies? I do alot of motorway miles, if that helps.

Thanks

I had some Eagle F1's on my old wheels but only for a couple of weeks but was very impressed...... I had Toyo's on another set and they were very good and lasted me well.

Eagle F1s as Toyo Proxies are rubbish in the wet.

Prada Spec 2s, can be had for £65 a tyre in 15 inch. Chased Porsches at Bedford in the wet last weekend and they were superb (plenty of tread!).

Hankook V12 evo. As an all rounder, they are in a different league to Toyo/Parada's.

And in general, Porsche drivers are more show than go .

So it wasn't the tyres that caused your trip off across the grass then Tom.

This.

Had the toyo's and they really were crap in the wet, got the F1's now and they are a superb all rounder.

There was a 968 going round well, shame the Scud couldn't get on.

I just ordered a set of Re050, but I think the size is different (195/45/16).

 

[Gobsheene]

I have 195 45 Toyo Proxy4's.

Ok in the dry... crap elsewhere.
TBH they are the same as Nankangs.
