Had a good drive thgis weekend in my Octy 4x4...I feel I could do with some new tyres...the Dunlops are a little low on tread and seem a bit skittish.

What tyres would you guys suggest...standard alloys 205/55R16?

Depends on what you want from your tyres - all-out performance coming at a cost in winter, or a bit more of a compromise?

I've had F1s before and have the Toyos on my FRP.... they do seem to be about as good as each other, so when I got the F1s, I chose them on price for the Octy

Just wanted to add I got my Tyres fitted from Event Tyres last week...Goodyear Eagle F1's. A whole
