New tyres

Post by mikeyquattro » Fri Apr 11, 2008 3:13 pm

Changed from Pirelli P zero's to F1 Assymetricals.
The difference is amazing :shock: :D So much more confidence in them and such a better quality of ride. The P zeros used to track and tramline really badly too.
I can't compare them to PS2's but for the price, I can't recommend anything else but F1's

Really happy and they only cost me £452 for all 4 :D :D :D

Toyos have a cult following especially on Imprezas....but the PS2 is in a completely differnet world to the Proxy and it appears that the new Goodyear is better still.

Mikey, was this a one off sale from your eBay seller or does he stock these items?
