I just got some Yokohamas for my octy (different size , but the tyres are likely the same) to replace the rear Michelins and am very pleased with them so far.

They are quieter than the Michelins , seem to grip just as well and cost half the price (

Toyo

Falken!:D

Have good experiences with Bridgestone (SO2 and SO3 PP's) and Dunlops (SP2000?).

Check out the tyre review section of the site :D

I'm a few weeks off getting Goodyear Eagle F1's, anyone had experience with them? They're not in the reviews?

Toss up between them and the Toyo's.

bridgestone s02's :thumbup:

Kumho's

I've had good year F1's on some of my previous cars before, and they are FANTASTIC! make a joke of greasy sufaces, and grip almost as well in the wet as the dry! I would reccomend......... (I chose them after my local tyre fit place (who handle the police contract) said they fit them on the police subaru's) :thumbup:

I've got 215/45/16 Continental ContiPremiumContact 2 under my furby originally fitted by the dealer. Got around 12k kilometers with them so far and am very pleased. Never had any grip problems, dry or wet and they cut through heavy rainfall like hot knife through butter.

Previously have experience with bridgestones, nokias & michelins. And I'd say these are the best so far with the michelins coming as good second choice. Michelins were 205/55/16 pilot primacys. They had a bit of restless character running into curves on wet, other than that they were fine.

i got two of the new T1R toyos on today on my bezza , i went round a roundabout n i was lookin outta my ears , these bad boys grip

f1 gsd3's are very very soft they can go in 6k without trackdays

the f'1's I had lasted way longer than the OE michelin SX GT's (was a saxo VTR) 'bout 18,000 miles (front) michelins were 9,000 miles, (dont know if these were the dsg3's though, may have been a different version) same place said if I put the toyo's on they are SO soft they would deffo be gone in less than 10,000 miles..... (although they do grip fantastically) the conti's I have on the vRS now, are still going stong at 13,000 miles..........

i have pilot exalto's pe2's on and they are great but not cheap

i had the gsd3's on a clio 172 that i did drive in a nippy way :)

I'm loving the pirelli pzero neros I bought, they work great when it's raining and of course on dry surface too. Handling in wet is very progressive so you don't lose grip suddenly.. :cool: Only downside is that they
