Bailey. Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Fitting a set of uk 17's to my tt after refurb in matt black! What tyre's do I go for??? I have falken on at the minute which I'm happy with, but I have been given a good price for some toyo t1r's. Anyone have any favoured tyre's?

Jamesy Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 what do you want out of them mate? Falken 452's are a decent all rounder and cheap! R888's for serious grip, track days T1R's i've always found good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey. Posted June 15, 2010 Author Share Posted June 15, 2010 There just road tyre's I ve been priced £50 a set cheaper for for 452's over t1r's. Is it worth spending the extra dosh?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 One of the best tyres out there are the ContiSport contact 3's Falkens are a good tyre at the cheaper end of the market, i have them on my 330 sport and they work pretty good in the wet or the dry.

Bailey. Posted June 15, 2010 Author Share Posted June 15, 2010 People seem to like the toyo but more are commenting on the fallen 452???!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I have Falken 452's on mine and found them a lot better than the T1R's that came off it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 People seem to like the toyo but more are commenting on the fallen 452???!! A lot depends on how you drive, how much hp/torque you expect them to cope with and how much you want to spend. Its a balancing act with the Falkens, for the money they are a pretty good all round tyre. I push my 330 on quite hard and they haven't caused me any concerns in either the wet or dry. If i can get them in the sizes i need for my supra i'd happily fit them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey. Posted June 15, 2010 Author Share Posted June 15, 2010 452's it is tbh i'm happy with mine, just a shame for me they are 18's and only have around 500 miles on them, doh, tyre size 235-40-17 fronts and 255-40-17 rears???! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey. Posted June 15, 2010 Author Share Posted June 15, 2010 It's a bpu tt manual fella, I think I will be happy with them again, it's odd how choices vary so much between cars, on my evo 6 on all the forums everyone raved about eagle f1's!!!

Dnk Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Quite a few rave about Eagle F1's on here too, there now called the GD3 or something similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTRickeh Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Quite a few rave about Eagle F1's on here too, there now called the GD3 or something similar They stopped making the GSD3 a while ago so they're quite difficult to get a hold of now, they replaced them with the F1 asymmetric's which people in general don't find as good.

matt k Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Have used Toyos, Contis and currently have P-zeros which are better than the previous 2 but not as good as the Potenza re050 which came off, awesome tyre just gone silly expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
