Yoko AVS? Michelin Pilot Exalto 2? Looking to spend no more then £50 a tyre.

Do a search for tyres. There was a very large thread on this recently.

 

[Swervin_Mervin]

F1s

 

[badinvincible]

F1s too

 

[edde]

I wouldnt bother wth Toyos Rs (I forget there full name) Ive very unmpressed although there cheap.

 

[badinvincible]

The Toyo T1S arent bad in the dry they are just a bit scary in the wet.

 

[Jas]

toyos are good, but f1s are excellent, and for only £2 more a tyre, go for the f1s!

 

[Dan_mk1]

F1s!

 

[Kelly]

Had F1s on my Williams, A539s on my Saxo and have Toyo T1-S on the coupe currently. I definately preferred the F1s.

Soon as the tread has gone on the coupe ill be replacing them with F1s

 

[White16valver]

F1s definitely!

Running Toyo T1s at the moment and though theyre alright in the dry, the wet weather performance is, errrm, a bit slidey... lol

 

[Evandim*]

have to echo everyone else i have F1s worth every penny too..

 

[Djw John]

F1s got my 4th pair on order!

 

[EVOgone]

A539 are the worst especially in the wet.

 

[Smokey]

F1s

what about toyo proxies T1-R?

I have just fitted 4 Bridgestone Potanzas to my 106 GTi, and they are bloody brilliant tyres. Excellent in the dry and wet!

 

[d4ve86]

i got 4 F1s by the way! £47 each fitted and all that

 

[The Bear]

£188 is a very good price for 4 tyres and fitting.

Eagle F1s are great. Loads of grip and great in the wet.

Thats the ons Ive got.
They arnt very good in the wet or dry for grip. I had F1s on the front and toyos on the back on the track an the car likes swopping ends, on Continentals all round its sticks fine.
The grip on them is less plus the break away isnt very enjoyable.
Ive ended up sticking my T1Rs on my day to day car and even on that you can tell the stearing is less confident and the cars more walloye.

 

[White16valver]

Im trying my best to wear my T1ss out lol

Theyre coming off at the first sign of leaf-fall / winter / salt!
