alan83 Posted February 14, 2006 Author Share Posted February 14, 2006 I have heard alot of people suggesting eagle f1's. What sort of life would I get from them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Headroom Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Depends how you drive I suppose, and if your wheel toe and camber is set up correctly. Someone will be along soon to give an answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 It depends what sort of drive you do (lots of roundabouts vs motorways), how hard you drive, what size wheels you have, your suspension and whether the geometry is correct. So, anywhere between 1000 and 20000 miles With stock 17's, stock tire size, a fair mix of town/motorway driving and a lot of time at WOT I get around 10k miles out of a set of Good Year F1's. Thats much better than most cars of this power and weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesmark Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 i was going to go for F1's but heard they are not the best at cornering and can slip slightly and the soop aint the lightest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 i was going to go for F1's but heard they are not the best at cornering and can slip slightly and the soop aint the lightest I don't agree at all mate! In dry weather they can be out performed by a specialist dry weather tyre, but in the UK we don't have a lot of dry weather so need a tyre that suits all conditions. I've had Avon ZZ3's (or whatever they're called) and they are probably the worse wet weather tyre I have had. They are so bad the front of car can wash out on a roundabout at as low as 30mph. Best avoided. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 cheers mate, the guy said what they were guess i will find out tomorrow which reminds me i need to post feedback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoboblio Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Another vote of confidence for the Eagle F1's, superb grip in the dry and although you obviously have to take it easy in the wet, they inspire a lot of confidence Certainly haven't seen any excessive wear from them either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
