[Sib]

michellins come highly reccomended, toyo's are fine

 

[dale172]

cheers sib much appricated
anyone else?

 

[White16valver]

F1s for rainy winter weather, definitely.

 

[dale172]

hmmm does that mean f1s wont be as good as the other two in spring / summer?

the thing is i drive through alot of country roads and motorways and some times in heaven pours the Toyos feel bit twitchy dunno y tho.

 

[Brown.]

goodyears, ive got them and can vouche ther better then the other two in wet, mmmm not much in it in the dry. goodyears will last longer too

 

[White16valver]

F1s are still ace in the dry - I just don't like smearing them across the road during hard cornering when I know how much I've paid for them! LoL

Toyo's are good in the dry as they're a soft compound and quite cheap to replace, but they are s.h.i.t. in the wet compared to F1s!

 

[dale172]

sweet thanks guys sounds positive for the f1s ;-)

 

[Anim@l]

There was a similar post on here the other day and they were saying that Michelins were better for the most part.:S Think it's a rather personal preference.

 

[Brasseye]

conti contact or the f1 for the winter wet

 

[d4ve86]

f1s are the best tyres from that list imo. closly followed by the PE2s. My F1s held up well at the ring a few weeks back!

 

[benji&eka]

goodyear's crap to begin with but better than the others once you've scrubbed them in & they rule all in the wet

 

[jiminy]

pe2s cant fault them, car understears pregresivaly in the wet and i havnt been able to provoke the rear

 

[dale172]

jiminy u actually tryin to crash ;-) sounds like it's between the mich & goodyears lol

 

[Steve]

Conti sports, never had any probs on my 172.

 

[Middo]

considering i've just paid 35quid a piece for my goodyear eagles, (result for having 15's!) i think you cant go wrong. putting them on mine through the winter before swapping in the summer for something more inpractical and more hardcore lol

 

[Giles]

goodyear eagles F1:approve:

 

[Rich]
