Thumbs up What Tyres

I have narrowed it down to these two makes.

Pirelli W 210 Snowsport (Good in everything Dry, Wet, Snow and Ice)
http://www.reifentest.com/cgi-bin/au...4z114z116&&&EN

Toyo PROXES T1-S (Good in everything but really crap in snow)
http://www.reifentest.com/cgi-bin/au...3z117z108&&&EN

your thoughts please

I've not tried the Pirellis, but I do like the Toyos. They're sometimes criticised for their wet-weather grip, but are fairly uniformly praised for dry-weather grip.

I had some new fronts put on this morning. I see you're from Hampshire -- my tyres were put on at Micheldever Tyres. They stock 16" T1-S for about 74 quid, IIRC. Not normally in stock, so call ahead. I bought mine online for more! Sigh...

richi

yeh im at the ring at easter, not taking any track wheels - i'll use the Toyos, thats why im getting them. besides the tyres i have now are barely legal. if they're any good ill get em again, otherwise ill be back to F1's

I got my F1's from micheldever, very good place for tyres. A local garage to me can beat micheldevers price for toyos though @ £90 each fitted, hence why im going there instead.

BTW, i got my F1 GSD3's (215/40/17) for £402.50 all in at micheldever.
