Toyo R888 - Ace in the dry; uber-sketchy in the wet!

Goodyear Eagle F1 - Great all-rounder. Highly recommended.

Falkens are alright for picking up the shopping (an N/A :p) but apart from that they are crap on the track and strip, and certainly not worth risking your life fast cornering. Cheap at £400 the set from camskill and you certainly get what you pay for.

GY F1's gone from 2 to 5 as they were +4 in the posts before and I gave them a positive rating too.

I think the lists been messed up when i looked earlier toyo's was 8 theyve dropped to 5 now:blink:

 

I agree, to me it looks like its been totally cocked up, i have been trying to follow the Falken 452s and from what i can see it just doesn't add up, anyway i vote for the 452s also the 451s but there not included.

It went wrong from vvti, who i assume pasted an earlier list, so it needs to start from there again.

 

There's always one isn't there?! ;) This is what can happen when you don't use a poll. I think I can get this sorted (using "Beyond Compare") ...

Sorted now. Please feel free to add your vote for the 452s and add 451s to the list (however, Falken shows the latter now out of production).

You'd be better using a table on your first post and only you maintain it to save huge posts and loads of pages for a result. Everyone else then just states their tyre and what they want added. My entry:

 

Falken FK-452 +1

 

One of the best road tyres out there for a Supra IMO, and I don't drive like a girl. :)

 

The confusing system you've been using has so far made this look like a bad tyre when it's far from it - the score looks plain wrong. Were those -1's at the start people being confused trying to vote for it as their recommendation? I suspect that may be true. I've used many other tyres on the Supra and am voting for the FK-452 only as I rate it above Goodyear F1 GSD3's, GSD2's etc. I've used previously.

 

Cheers,

 

Brian.

My experience of the Pirellis have been the N4 compound only, not the N3.

But then I would have to maintain it - I'm not on here often enough to do that (and as you'll see from the first post, I'm suggesting that members add other tyres if they want to).

 

Confusing? Maybe for some. However, I think the negative scores for any tyre reflect some members' bad experience with that particular tyre - what's right for one car/driver obviously might be different for another.

 

I was hoping that these differences would be balanced out as more members vote. That will only work if people are free to express their own opinions/experiences without external influence. Hopefully, they won't be swayed by other's comments or votes. Enough said I think.

A048 are really good in dry and reasonable on wet roads but expensive.

pirelli p zero rosso, I felt they gave better feedback compared to goodyears with silmilar amount of grip however vaule for money and the goodyears are very good.

They are, as I said only the other day, I rate them on a par, or better than the Goodyear GS-D3's.

 

You'll find there's a lot of tyre snobbery goes on because they're not one of the big names. I also reckon you'll find people slating normal road tyres because their semi-slick track day tyres provide better grip in the dry.

I agree with both these statements, my experience's have always been very positive with Falken 451 and 452,

But i am wondering if we need a clause that states only comment on the tyre IF you have your geometry set up correctly on your Supra.

I have seen people slagging off good tyres because they have bad geometry, same goes for the "my single Supra steps out all over the place" must be too much power and bad tyres;):p

It is true mate, I love the falken 452 tyre, I've had them fitted to my last three cars. I voted incorrectly at the start, and was then too baffled to do anything about it.

 

Falken 452 FTW

I agree with both these statements, my experience's have always been very positive with Falken 451 and 452,

But i am wondering if we need a clause that states only comment on the tyre IF you have your geometry set up correctly on your Supra.

I have seen people slagging off good tyres because they have bad geometry, same goes for the "my single Supra steps out all over the place" must be too much power and bad tyres;):p

 

Please see my earlier comments regarding the 451 (post #64).

 

I understand what you are saying about geometry. However, it is still my hope (increasingly vain) that weight of numbers will even out any differences caused by geometry, shoe size, etc. Although there's a trend starting, I think it's still far too early to call it (only 63 recommendations in total).

It is true mate, I love the falken 452 tyre, I've had them fitted to my last three cars. I voted incorrectly at the start, and was then too baffled to do anything about it.

 

Falken 452 FTW

 

Oh dear, are you sure? I'm going to fix this for you by adding 1 to the 'would recommend' and taking 1 off the 'would not recommend' figures for the 452. If that's not right, please feel free to post again.
