Guest Chumpalot Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 not Avons Pulled away from a set of traffic lights this morning on a roundabout and the back end came right out. When these are finished I'll be getting some Eagle F1s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshBhp Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Toyo TR1's, work very well in the wet and exlent in the dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveK Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 I like Bridgestone SO2s. Use them on the 964 and put rears on the Supra a few weeks ago. On a wet road, I floored it from a standing start yesterday (not slipping the clutch or anything) and the rear wheels didn't even spin. I was well impressed.

Stonkin Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 always found eagle f1's great in all weather, but they were they only tyres i bought for the supe. avons have always worn out very quickly on other cars, but are a softer tyre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Another thumbs up for Toyo T1-R's from me. WAY more grip than the F1's I had on before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wallace9 Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 I use the T1-R's too and find them spot on. Cheaper than the F1's as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 F1-GSD3, RLTC and a right foot that isn't made of lead. I think that covers all the bases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Ditto, lol. So far, the wear rate seems pretty good - certainly comparable to the Goodyears but way better grip all round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolarbag Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Honest Advice...... Buy the crapiest(if thats a word) tyres you can for the wet, Reason... you will tread even more carefully than you would with your 200quid a tyre, therefore you wont cane it in the wet and you wont be in a position to correct it when the back steps out! Furthermore you will get to keep your sup over the winter! Plus, their usually good for drifting;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRD-Rob Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 cheers for all the info guys keep it coming did you guys get a good quote for your tyres if you don't mind me asking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 That's got to be the stupidest & most dangerous advice I've heard to date. Budget tires on a RWD high performance car in the wet is just asking for trouble. Go look at how many crash threads get posted up each winter, it's quite scary.

wallace9 Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Can't remember exactly what I paid but it was around £80 per front tyre from http://www.mytyres.co.uk with the rears being a bit more I've also heard black circles is a good site to check Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 I got a pair of 245x40x17 & a pair of 265x40x17 for just over £400 from tiresite.co.uk I think. That's not far off the price I got quoted for ONE Michelin Pilot Sport for the rear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Yep MyTyres are always a good bet for prices. I had Pirelli P-Zeros on mine and found them very good indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRD-Rob Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 well i think all the good weather is now behind us now so will have to start saving for some good tyres for the rain and snow for those bad days:( thanks again for all the good info and link guys.
