What Tyres

Post by ShaneyB » Tue Apr 22, 2008 2:45 pm

Hi all,
What would you guys put on your beloved for a combination of longevity, price and grip.?
Always used Toyo's but having a re-think.

Thanks in advance.
Shane

Kuhmos are pretty decent, doing wonders on my car. I suppose if you want top performance, you'd be hard pressed to get any better than the Mitchelins, though pricey.

Used to have a set of Bridgestone S03's on mine which were excellent and lasted 19k, but couldnt get them last time round.

Now on Goodyear F1 GSD3's with no complaints so far, but only done 2k at most some havent fully decided - the new F1 Assy's are supposedly even better
