forester200 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Ok guys I'm up for a new pair of rear 275 35 18's as the pirelli pzeros are shafted .....Any recommendations ? I was having a look at camskill and they have Vredestein ultrac sessanta's at a very good price £235 down to £180 but I have never used these ...was also considering eagle f1's....what are your thoughts ? My car is bpu so not chucking out more than 400bhp and I'm not one for pushing it round bends etc so don't need r888's ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Mitchell Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 R888's are awesome though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 You could have Avon zz3's with a better wet grip rating for £128 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 F1's haven't let me down great in wet and dry plus good level of wear, unless you do burnouts in small towns in the Netherlands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had them fitted to a stockish TT auto which was running 352bhp at 0.8bar an they performed great, better than the continentals which were on it before.

sideexitsupra Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Had no issues running Falken 452s on my BPU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwarrior Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Had no issues running Falken 452s on my BPU Falken 452's FTW. Had them on mine for the road and track, had no issues, soft enough for grip, hard enough to not have to replace them every month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have Vredesteins on the rear of mine and am very happy with them. Replaced tired Falkens and the Vreds are streets ahead, although probably not a fair comparison as the Falkens were very worn. I am BPU and have 18" rims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcgoo Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 FK452 are very poor in the wet, and not brilliant in the dry. Michelin PSS Goodyear Eagle F1 Bridgestone RE050A would be my recommendation, in that order. FK453 are meant to be better than 452 but I have no experience of them. Could give them a try.

James Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I'm losing faith in my current Yokohama Advan rears. I put some Eagle F1s on the front and they have been a massive improvement over the previous fronts. I think I'll be going with the Goodyears on the back next time too for sure (same size as you are after Forester200 - 275/35/18). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree , i had FK452's on before and they were good all round tyre's . Not quite as good as the F1's i have on now but certainly not very poor in the wet.

I'd have to disagree also, had no major issues with 452's in the wet on the road or track, but they are a mid range tyre, depends on how much you want to spend: Falken 452/453 £170 each Bridgestone RE050A £300 each Michelin PSS £280 each Goodyear Eagle F1 £300 each Edited March 11, 2013 by qwarrior (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were bloody dangerous. Not sure if anybody else has had the same experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Anyone know of anywhere with Goodyear F1 asymmetric 2 or even better Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3's ? Do they even still do GSD3's anymore ?? I have stock tyre sizes. Checked camskills they have no stock, black circles don't stock them ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have driven in the rain in them and they are fine, great in the dry and last a while! (watch me tempted fate now). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camskills have the Goodyears for 136 each and the michelins are 162 each from black circles. Falkens are 99.99 from camskills too Edited March 11, 2013 by Tyson (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich.2211 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Another vote for the 452's, I've run them on my last three Supras and they've performed very well for the price. Obviously there is better out there, but for a Supra that's a daily driver, much like my own, I can't recommend them enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
