[one_eight_two]

they the best to go for then yeh? i have 2 nicely bald tyres on the front!! grrrr didnt even notice ha! so needing to replace them! gonna do all four....

personally i like the Goodyear F1's (GSD3), although at the moment im running toyo t1r's

 

[one_eight_two]

how much we looking at for a set of 4??

 

[Pep]

i've got a set of T1-R's, they are awesome!

 

[S22 JGS]

Goodyear F1's - £82 a tyre, fitted
Toyo T1R - £72 a tyre, fitted
Michelin PE2 - £93 a tyre, fitted

rough prices, taken from a place near me.

i've got a set of T1-R's, they are awesome!

they are ok - but the goodyears are 7.491 times better

 

[Pep]

no according to the tyre test on mytyres.co.uk

i was going to get the GSD3's to be honest, but it was a 2 week waiting time, plus they were £20 more for a set, and had heard good things about the proxes, they are definately awesome tyres, if the GSD3's are better then they must have some awesome grip, but im very surprised at how good the proxes are

Have a look at the ClioSport tyre poll

 

[S22 JGS]

i like the toyos, dont get me wrong, and if im short of cash when i need new tyres, they are always my choice.... but yes, the Goodyear GSD3's have alot more grip... especially in the wet... thats the only thing i dont like about toyos.

on a wet track yesterday morning they were shocking... in the afternoon once it dried they were stunning. swings and roundabouts.

have a look on blackcircles.com or .co.uk? cant remember

 

[Tyson-182]

mytyres.co.uk do the PE2's for £83 a corner. You would need to get them balanced and fitted somewhere. I'm in need of two... Just debating what to do.

Tys.

 

[Karlos182]

I've just had 2 PE2s fitted courtesy of Black Circles - cost me £187 including fitting.

 

[nothelle300]

jus looking through mytyres.co.uk and wondering why is their such a big difference in price between the 195/45/16 and the 205/45/16?? Is the 195 a more popular size?? as paying £20+more on the top brand tyres for an extra 10mm seems a bit over top?!

 

[Tyson-182]

^^ Yea, you could say that. Think the 172's were 195, and 182's were 205... obviously why us 182 driver have superior handling...
