I don't think this has been covered before , but I would like some advice as to a new set of boots for the vRS.

I have narrowed it down to the three in the poll but would welcome any suggestions/experiences with others.

T1-r's worked very well on a punto gt.....!

I put the GSD3's on my Octy - GREAT grip, but no longetivity. Toyos voted here.

Khumo Ecsta's. Great tyre, great price

Toyo Proxes

Lots of grip in the wet and dry

Goodyear F1`s, just for their grip....dont last long though:rolleyes:

Pirelli Nero`s are another good one, ask DaveU he puts 350+ through them;)

Well, at least 50bhp.

Mr. Fishy, if you can afford them put some Michelin Pilot Sport 2's on. You will not regret it.

Sorry Des...your quite right, when i MOT`d it i could only get 20mph out of it:rolleyes: enough to test the brakes though

:eek: Not what i expected though:confused:

continental sportcontact2's for me....

i'm getting Pirelli P zeros fitted this morning so will give them a test on the 30 mile drive back and let you know how they go compared to the michelin primacy's that are on at the moment!

Michelin Pilot Primacy for me @ £60 each fitted from CostCo and they're nice and quiet compared to my Bridgstones

Pirelli P Zero Neros every time

If you can't stretch to the sports, the Michelin Pilot Exalto 2 are great tyres, last reasonably well and grip like anything Superb grip in the wet compared to other tyres I have used, and great grip in the dry too.

Are these ok? I had these on my previous car and thinking on getting them again just in 225/45/17 for the pegasus wheels.... Again getting them from costco as they are cheaper than everywhere else

Just done anice 50 mile drive on the P Zero Nero's and I must say the level of grip compared to the primacy's is unbelievable, the ride is also a bit quieter, not sure about the wet yet, will know next time it rains! But impressed so far

p.s. got them off Ebay £56 a corner, fitted!

In the wet they are very very good. That's why I always recommend them (I've had a grand total of 13 complete sets over the last 4 years :eek: )

Only done 5K miles on them and had no issues, only got two which are fitted to the rears with the original Bridgstones off the rears on the fronts.

Can't complain at the price, just keep an eye out for offers Costco have on.

So they last a long time then eh!!!:eek:

Thanks for the suggestions guy's. Decided that I would take Delcac's advice and have bought myself a set of Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's off e-bay.

Hope your'e right mate as you have swayed my decision away from the Toyo's, I very nearly bought those instead.

You'll be right, I class Toyo's t1-r's as the lowest I've had so far....

Just happen to be on the car atm :(

Can't run the good ones when I'm doing work travel...cost me too much on the M40

I don't think you will be disapointed with the pilot sports, lots of people seem to really rate them on their sporty cars.

Set of 4 spanking new Pilot Sports PS2's now in my garage, absolute steal at £360 + £25 delivery
