DBR Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 what do you think are the best tyres to get for my suup.... currently on stock uk 17" thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Best all year round imho Eagle F1 GSD3. Best dry Bridgestone/Pirelli/Michelin but they cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBR Posted January 18, 2006 Author Share Posted January 18, 2006 pirelli was the first that poped to my head any idea on prices...... p zero's maybe? what sthe best prices peeps have found Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Yeah the Rossos for daily driving they have different compunds too - I dont rate them in the wet too much though. Dunno about stock sizes, but Ibrar quoted me a decent price for 285s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psymon Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 I had Rosso's on my impreza and the first 2 weeks i thought I'd made a big mistake, they were crap, but once they had scubbed in they were awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_M Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Didn't rate the Pirellis at all on the Supra. 1st choice for me would be Bridgestone SO3s or if not then the Good Year Eagle F1s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyJawa Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 eagle f1 gsd3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Definitely the F1s - got them all round now and they are a terrific tyre. On a separate note Dan, the car's (your old one!) just had a full respray in the original Storm Blue - will get some pics up before it gets peppered in stone chips!

Scoboblio Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Eagle F1's made a huuuuge difference to my car when I fitted them. I've only had 2 brands of tyre on my soop (F1's and budget rubbish), but if you go for Eagle F1's you won't be disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Another vote for F1's here. I've tried quite a few different tyre's since owning the Supra (Mainly rears ), but the F1's are by far the best all-rounders. They are the best wet/cold weather tyre I've tried. For warm/hot weather they may not give the maximum grip (maybe a quick wearing soft compound tyre is best here), but for all round usage they're the best I've experienced. Friends of mine with Imprezza's and Evo's (of various spec) recommend the Michelin pilot sport as a similar good all rounder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Forgot to add, us locals pay £102 per rear for stock 17 F1's, £96 for stock fronts. Fitted, valved and balanced. Nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice I got 2 fronts (235/45/17) F1s for £75 a piece from my supplier!! Just got to get them fitted locally. These guys deliver next day to your door - best prices I can get - been using them for a few years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys deliver next day to your door - best prices I can get - been using them for a few years now. Feck me that's awesome! I've got Pirelli P-Zeros all round, they're great in the dry but not great in the wet, and they cost £150 a piece - fitted that is. Sayin that, I didn't do too much shopping around!

Bobbeh Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 I believe the Dunlop SP9000 are also worth a mention... and some Khumo ones seem to help peeps get off the line well when drag racing Dunno about daily driving tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
