What tyres?
 
I am in need of some help my friends. My beloved scoob requires four nice tyres to help prevent me from scooting into field, trees etc.

I've been quoted at good price for some Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD 3's (already got F1's on the fron). I hear (and know) that these are the mutts nuts, but am told that they will probably only last a year.

Is there any other make/brand that you lot regulary use and are impressed with? Good grip, good mileage sort of thing.

Just thought I'd test the water before parting with £350-odd notes of my hard earned cash.

Toyo T1-R, although I use F1's as well:D

Pirelli PZero Asimmetrico, excellant grip, very good wear but around £120 per tyre, but if you got 4 i'm sure it'll be cheaper. Only had these tyres on my car, so can't comment on others makes.

Had a set of Michellin Pilot Sport 2's that would have lasted about 25-30k (but for a puncture). Bit expensive but they do last, and once warm they are a nice tyre.

My F1s generally last about 20k miles (2 years in my case). I guess it depends how you drive! They are great tyres - now on my third set.
