Todd Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Depends really. I seem to be a little differnt here, as I tend to go through tyres very quickly as I use my car alot, approx every 2000 miles for the rears 2000 miles! I'd be really pissed if I only got 2k out a set of tyres:thumbdown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 TVR fit (at least used to ) Toyo Proxes as standard...what do Aston and Jag fit out of mildly moist interest ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICHARDA Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Dunno about Jag & Aston but I'm sure that TVR now fit F1's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoboblio Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 F1's are superb Wet weather grip is in a completely different league to my previous ditch-finders. Really does give you confidence in the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jspec Germany Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Pirelli Pzero Nero M+S. Read reviews here: http://www.tirerack.com I've just fitted my wheels with them. An impressive looking tire to say the least. Can't wait to get them fitted and put some mileage on them. I'll post pics in a little while. A friend has just fitted a set to his 330 and he is extremely happy with them. They're perfect for that sh*tty British weather you lot endure. Not much better here I have to say. I miss Japan.

suprasport Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Been out in the rain much, Rob? the holy fuck comment was based on a tyre that wasn't even listed just a brand. goodyear do some tyres that would be absolute shite on a supra, not that i know anything about them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZZ3's are better than the 1's - it would be impossible to make anything worse! For the price Avon road sport tyres are not up to scratch against their competitors - simple as. Ever seen them come in any decent position in a tyre test? However in comparison F1's/S02/S03 for example consistently get top ratings and the price is not much difference at all. Now Avon track tyres are a different story completely, but thats for another heated discussion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkyJawa Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Not happened to me but in that case if you have a prob with them look at s02/s03 P-Zero Rosso etc etc etc etc all tyres which get better reviews but cost similar - or do they all have faults too? The old ZZ1's didn't even make it into this test! http://www.imoc.co.uk/technical/article/autocar.htm And a newer test was not very complimentary either: ZZ3 Autocar - January 2003 Comparative Strengths - Coast-by noise, wet handling Comparative Weaknesses - Aquaplaning, Rolling Resistance, Dry Handling LOL at the above though which says wet handling ok but bad for aquaplaning! So me bringing this up is a bad thing when it could potentially save someone an accident? On a car like the Supra you shouldn't scrimp with it and get one of the best out there, still I guess as they get cheaper and cheaper thats unlikely to happen. Might as well not bother in future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian R Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Avons are crap and I will never ever put them on any car of mine again. For an allround tyre you can't beat F1 GSD3's on second set now wear and performance is great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 I'm on Bridgestone RE050s here too - loads better than the Dunlop shite that was already on the car, as well as the Proxes and Vredesteins I've used on previous cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Fronts were replaced in '04 by Tim at 73k and needed changing a year later at 88k. They were Goodyear GSD3's though. Rears were replaced in Sept by me and were picked up by the MoT as an "advisory" 2 months later... They are Toyo T1-S. I think I'll go for F1's next time round.
