Its nearly time to change rubber, well the fronts any way. I was gonna just wear the front out and replace 2 (ease the pain lol), but now I’m thinking that I should swap them around and go replace all 4 when the time comes, especially if changing brands. I can’t think of exact model on mine, Dunlop Sport Maxx or something like that (the Factory tyres)

There was a couple of tyres I’ve been looking at, both with info posted here and on eiretyres.

Bridgestone RE050

Goodyear Eagle F1

Toyo T1R

Continetal Contact Sport 2

Dunlop SP9 Sport

Dunlop SP9000

Pireilli P6000

Pireilli P Zero Rosso

But with Price, Reviews on Here & Reviews on Eiretyres I’ve narrowed it down to 2.

Toyo PROXES T1-R

Goodyear EAGLE F1 GS-D3

And to be honest was going to go with the Toyos as they seem competitively priced and well up to the job. But am I better to wear the 4 current ones out and change all 4. I suppose with HOPEFULLY the winter over I’d be better get the use out of the current ones. I think theres about 3k miles left on the fronts, so should really put them on the back ASAP (theres 11k on them).

One other thing, should I stick the standard route and go 225/40 R18

Or go the Shifty Route with the 235/ 40 R18

Just wondering what you might think.

Save up a bit longer and do all 4, by swapping fronts to the rear.

Personally I'd go for either P Zero Nero, P Zero Systemtrico Assymetrico, Michelin Pilot Exalto PE2 or Pilot Sport PS2

Is there really that much of a difference in grip, wear & noise between these and the other ones I was looking at. The prices seem higher aswell (30-50 Euro a corner). Just weighing up the pro/cons ;):thumbup:
