Just changed the dreaded continentals.....What a difference! Grip grip and more grip

Big difference isn't it? Probably the best mod, improves acceleration braking and cornering. How many other mods can improve all of those at the same time?

What Goodyears did you go for?

For his joy, I'm guessing he got eagle F1 assyms.

Yes indeed:eagle F1 assyms

A2s im hoping? They are the only tyre I would ever put on my car. I christened my new set in on the Ring and was really impressed. The new breaking block technology in the tred pattern is so evident.

Yes I changed to f1 ass2 also. Great price and seem to suit the rs well. Quieter too..

They are such an improvement on the Continentals....a different league.
Handling is amazingly better!

Where are people getting their Goodyears from? A national chain?

Need a new set of boots!

Camskill seems to be the current fave.

A few lads in the C5 section say so, mainly in the wet though.

Do they offer a mobile fitting service, or do people just take them to their local tyre fitter?

Post by **sonny** » Mon Feb 04, 2013 12:04 pm

I got mine from Lepsons, £830 inc fitting. EDIT* This was for 255/35/19s

Local fitter, my local ATS are great; I avoid Kwik Fit, all 3 within local reach are reluctant to fit tyres not supplied by them and two of them don't appear to be able to balance a wheel correctly!

Call round a few of your locals and see what they will charge you, shouldn't be overly pricey.

*EDIT

£582.60 from camskill delivered (including £10 per tyre claimable discount)

Somewhere between £20/30 per corner for fit, balance and disposal from a local fitter.

I intend swapping before the fronts go below 3mm - keep the 235's as spares. I will more than likely go for 235's all round...........
