What Tyres To Use?

[DavidT]

T1-R on her 1.8T quattro --no hum on the motorways David- very quiet

Cheers, I'll probably try those next then.

SO2 or SO3 before ( can't remember! )and the Toyos are better especially in the wet.

I'd bet good money they were S03's

Far to subjective a discussion - go with what you like / are used to ?

Naa, we enjoy this stuff

[ShaneyB]

Don't go Dunlop....

[Scotty306]

I'm due for a set of front's so i thought i'd dig up this thread and see if opinions have changed

Looks like i'll be going for Eagle GSD3's unless i'm told otherwise

Just fitted Vredestein Ultrac's seem rather good so far.

[eddiecrawford]

uniroyal rainsports.... magic in wet, aquaplane a bit when down to 3mm, but should replace them then anyway...

[DavidT]

I've seen some PS2's for £ 350 delivered. Good price ?

[rolskii]

for 4 ...

[DavidT]

Thanks, I thought it was good, they are 225/45/R17 91Y.

ive just gone from pirelli assemitrico pzero (crap) to goodyear F1gsd3 (v.good). managed to get them for £89 each fitted balanced etc if anyone in the northwest wants some.Verdestein are good all round tyres as well, and I get them for good prices (£70 inc fit). Bridgestones re040 are good in the dry, but lethal in the wet. Kumhos are a good budget tyre as well like what kaygee said. You can get a set of 18" alloys with kumhos for £550 delivered.

ok price....i paid 352 pounds for a set of 4 fitted at bracknell tyres last month......pays to shop around.

I have found F1's to be average, I went to them from S03's and found them very middle of the road. My front lock up too easy with F1's.

What about Yokohama Advan. Check out Ebay #8041373212. Then check out tirerack for references.

I have Michelin Pilot sports on mine at the moment but i dont rate them in the wet.
I had both goodyear GSD3s and Toyo T1-r's on previouse car and both were very good although didnt have the car long after i had the Toyos fitted so cant say how they wear.

[dazzer]

F1 eagles, GSD3's

[Danian]

I have PS2 on mine. I have been crapping it that it will snow as they are so not a winter tyre.

Michelin Pilot Sports here no issues wear not an issue as i am low mileage user weekend car!,do not like Pirrelli,s as they can bite you, like Conti,s like dunlop SP Sports.

Jim.
(would have been locked up last week if they had caught me (BIG MPH)on our new by-pass last weekend take a recce run between roundabouts about 2 miles,then clear for TAKE OFF!!)not a built up area I might add no housing in the immediate vicinity whatsoever.
