New Tyres...any Advise ?

[chris202]

Wow went out locally today , its soo cold and the roads werent great . The celi was horrid ! the grips is pathetic on my tyres i need some new front ones .

I dont plan on keeping it too long so nothing too expensive , does anyone know some good tyres i can get ?

I've been told f1's ?? are good , and toyo proxes but i dont have a clue!

thanks again .

take a peek at www.mytyres.co.uk i think the prices include delivery , each tyre has its own report on wear,grip in dry and wet ,road noise etc.

Goodyear Eagle F1's are the best tyres i have ever had. Better in my opinion than the Bridgestone Potenza's, the Pirelli P-Zeros and the Toyo Proxies.

They aint the cheapest tyres around but as im sure everyone knows - you get what you pay for. And with the Goodyears you are getting the best

Supra owners swear by them

I'm with them ^^^^^^^. I've just put Eagle F1s on and they are by far the best tyre i've ever used in the wet. They are good in the dry too, and very quiet.

If you go gold, you can get a discount from mytyres too, if you buy a set of 4 you'll probably get the cost of your membership back. Having said that, you then have to pay to have them fitted, and most places charge £10 to £15 per tyre if they don't supply them. In the end I got mine from a local place that was almost as cheap as mytyres (even with the discount).
