GODERATORS - As per my last post and request, please leave in here for a while, as once you moved it to the Wheel formu it has had a poor response

As title suggests, the tread is nearly down to the legal limit and new boots are due. I am still on the original tyres for an MY01 WRX and wondered what people have had fitted at first change. Have you changed manufacturer, or stuck with the original? How long do they last, what are they like for grip etc? What price and where from? All opinions welcome.

Cheers,

Dan

had toyo's fitted by my local dealer, quite a nice tyre, not as noisey as originals and well better handling in the wet,worth pricing as an option.....

Toyos i luv, F1's also get good reviews on here :D Check out mytyres Reasonable prices help the deal more init ;)
Si

this is a thread which crops up reguarly.

nearly everyone runs either toyo's or goodyear eagle f1's.

they are both outstanding tyres, i run f1's personally, but i don't think there is much to choose between them.

hope that helps!

Goodyears F1's :)

Bridgestone S-03 where my choice, plus I got them for a nice price!

Goodyear F1s are an awesome replacement for the standard items - they grip really well in wet and dry.

Shop around a bit though - don't get ripped off like i did at Quickfit (£150 a corner) [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

I have 16" SE-O3's and they tramline like a ...well like err...well something that tramlines a damn lot...a tram that's it... can't wait to bin 'em guess i'll have to corner a bit harder and wear 'em out... :D :D

Toyos.

I run Toyos and they aint too bad and good value.

Anyone running the Eagle F1 GS-D3s? I ran the older model (D2?) on my Golf Gti a few years back and they were fantastic. The D3s did really well in Evo.

got 4 f1's for 380 all in plus 20 off next order steve my01 wrx 17's

F1-Eagles - da business, £100 each dealer fitted no time 2 shop around!!

Toyos-R-Us look similar - seem 2 be cheaper. Unavailable at my dealer

Paul.

Anybody knwo what the options are for 215x35x18 obviously got T1-s at the moment just wondering what other options there are, I guess I am limited. Dont want to go to 225, or 40 as they may rub.

FLAME SUIT ON...

I always use my "local" Quikfit for all my tyres (Mine, Missus, Mum etc.)

Why??? Their COMPANY POLICY is to at least price match all relative area quotes.

So, I always ring around, get best quote, then stroll in get their laughable price, inform them of my quote and in 30 seconds they match / beat it. (COMPANY POLICY)

And they are 2 mins drive away...

I have 225/40 x 18's, have used only P zero's and well pleased with them at £115 a corner.

Thanks for all your replies! I will shop around for F1s and Toyos.

Thought about falkens i v got them on my 02 wrx very good better than the bridgstones i had before they ar 225/35 18....chris

Toyos - #1

I can only tell you that F1's are oustanding, especially in the wet, I have no experience of Toyo's

from an old chap who still likes to wheel em round the bends!

I've got F1's on my MY99, and the difference from the origional potenzas is awesome.

I've just ordered a set of Toyos 215/40/17 from mytyres.net for £68.20 inc vat and delivery per corner - sounds like a good deal to me !!

Cheers neil
