Question Tyres

Right I no it's probably been done a million times but here goes........

Ready for new tyres I had Goodyear Eagle F1's on the front about 6 months ago and are great, I now need some for rear would you........

1. Change fronts over to the rear and put new Eagles on the front even though the tread pattern has changed, or.....
2. New rubber all round, if so what rubber do you recommend.

Cheers guys and girls.

As long as the current F1's have plenty life left in them & the characteristics & grip levels are comparable to the new F1-A's, I would stick the new F1-A's on the rear.

I was in the same position not so long ago. I had the factory fit Pirelli Corsa's all round & the fronts had gone off, but the rears had a good 4+mm left. But as the F1-A's were reportedly so much better in the cold & damp than the sticky Corsa's, I changed all 4!
