tyre opinions?

[yayoboy]

hi all, just wondering what tyrs you all rate for fast road/track use. i have always used yoko a539s but you cant get them any more, and have now been looking at the yoko s drives. but what about toyo proxes? they any good? cheers, sean

[John]

s drives are shiiite, I'd go for toyos or kumhos.

[yayoboy]

hmm, ok yoko must have let themselves go abit then john as the a539s are great more opinions please

[Stuart]

Kumho KU31 and or Uniroyal rainsport 2


imho T1's are crap unless you get to a 35 profile.

Not a fan of the Yoko's, found them very slippy.

lol so what would you go for

[muzzy]

Uniroyal's seem to get the vote of confidence a lot of the time.

[yayoboy]

what about eagle f1s

[Stuart]

used to be great... seem to have not moved their game on while others have joined them in performance stakes

[yayoboy]

hmm, been looking on tyre review sites and the uniroyals and the f1s seem fairly matched, think ill be ringing round for some prices tomorrow, any other suggestions?

[Rysee]

I have Uniroyal rain pros i think they are, hmm not really that confident in them

[yayoboy]

in what way, cornering, in the rain etc. im liking the sound of the eagles more and more lol!

[muzzy]

Toyo R888 assuming you have no need for going out in the rain lol

[Rysee]

In all ways, hmm then again it's my back end that seams slippy and i have firestones on

i have 185/65/14 they aren't as sticky as my budget 195/45/15s on my old nova

[Stuart]

Im on the hunt for pikey 224/45/17's, they have to have the lowest UTGQ rating possible and be less then £50 lol The winner at the moment is the Sunny SN3800 M+S :)

[yayoboy]

i have always found my a539s to be perfect in every way, all be it they wear quite fast as they are soft, but i accept that, 195 45 15 what i have/am after

[Stuart]

got some 539's on the front of the astra.... Cant wait to kill them off as there is no confidence in the wet with them

[yayoboy]

lol i think they are made in afghanistan

[Jack]

Never been able to find fault with FK452s tbh, but thats on my celica.

[Lee H]

I've fitted Toyo T1S/R's on all my cars when its come to replacing and really rate them for price and grip.

Tried Uniroyal Rainsports and thought they were terrible. Got Eagle F1's on the back of the MR2 but it doesn't have enough power to trouble them.

[dj_wudgey]

ive got toyo's on my sr and there sh*t in the wet!!!
