Which one would you buy & why?

Much Love

I ran the S Drives on my 172 Cup, thought they were good to be fair. Good wear rates, not too bad a price either

Cheers mate.
Using Yokohama now. Has anyone else used either of the others?

I do a lot of commuting so looking for something to last as well. I've always wanted Toyos but someone told me they are very soft.

Cheers,

i have the Hankook V12's ( i believe are different to what you say), but awesome value for money!

T1r's for me, they are awesome value for money and a very very good performance tyre imo.

You can get uniroyal Rainsports for the same price and they are a far better tyre. A mate of mine has had s drives on his rx8 and says they are great tyres

I have S drives on the front of mine (soon to have two on the back aswell). Cant really fault them to be honest, but then again I've not used anythin else on it to compare. I'd like to try the toyos but stick to what ya know blah blah. As for wear, well I think mine have done about 5k so far and theres plenty of tread left. Im not quite sure how long tyres are meant to last lol

Yeah my brother had Rainsports on his 182 and he rated them, Could be my next choice of tyre I think.

Ive got Dunlop SP Sport 9000's all round on mine at the min and they aint bad. Fronts are due to be changed though so Rainsport 2's it is. At £54 from Camskill you cant go wrong

 

[.Stevo.C.]

Nah you can't moan at that price mate I'm running 15's so they will be even cheaper

use the search

 

[Dan7]

Well, decided to go for a set of T1-R's.

£47.69 a corner sounds good to me.

Thanks for all the opinions.

Noice choice.

What size are you going for? 195 or 205? Is there a lot of difference in them?

On Camskill? About £20

 

[HOLLA]

What is the best size to for though?

195's for me

 

[HOLLA]

Mine runs 205 at the momment but don't whether to cone down in size or not. What are the advantages?

I'm wondering this as well, currently running 195's front and 205's rear (on the car when I got it). Search throws up various arguments for and against, price/alloy protection/grip/weight etc... Just curious for when I replace what is preferred and will you notice any differences day to day?

Just recieved 4x Proxies from cam skill this morning . currently in the boot/back seats awaiting fitting

Ive had proxies before and liked them so why change

I think they may not rub as much on full lock if I go for the smaller size?

No danger of that for me, mine still looks like a 4x4

[ashbrown]

a mate of mine runs a part worn tyre yard so he saves any toyo proxies for me and i buy them for £15 each when i need them, they always have nearly new tread on too....
