Need some new boots on my Wagon. Presently running on Goodyear Eagle F1 ZR16 205/50 16, which are and have been fantastic, now it seems they don't make them anymore. ;-(

Has anyone got any views or experience of the EfficientGrip as a replacement, or views on what would be better.

I loved the look of the tread pattern on the F1's, not keen on that of the EfficientGrip.

I would much appreciate your help with this.

For a good mid range I would say a falken 452

Mate, no offence but this is the third "what tyre" thread I've seen this week.

sonic thanks for your prompt reply. Like the look of these and the price, have you any experience with them.

I'd see if you can get the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2's in that size? They're the sucsessor to your current tyre.

Personally i woulnd;t put anything other than a big brand tyre on my cars as i value my own safety too much to cut corners! Also i know all the north wales police will use on their cars is the goodyear F1 Asymmetric 2's

Had Bridgestones on when I first got the car Daz-B, terrible tramlineing, maybe they are better now. Changing to F1's cured it.

Hi Mr Noisey.

I did & it didn't.

Have a good one ;-)

Fiasco

Where Bob? I can't find them in 16's.

Appreciate the help.

Fiasco

Apologies Bob, I read your message as 'you can get" rather than "see if you can get".
Now I've got to beat myself up all day;-)

I'm using the Falken 452s (16") on my Type R at the moment and I think they are quite a good tyre not as good as the F1s though especially when pushing them in them damper conditions.

May be worth looking at places like mytyres,blackcircles or camskill to see if they still have stock of F1s

The FK452 has been replaced by the FK453 now. I have 225/45/17 & 255/40/17 on my car and theyre an impressive tyre for the money.

I had Goodyear asseymetric 2's on my BM and they were great, but not the cheapest tyre. Think they've won auto express tyre of the year 2 years in a row. A good all rounder

Thanks for your input everyone.

I have gone with the Fk452's as I don't tend to drive much in excess of a ton anymore.

Have a great Christmas and thanks again for taking the trouble.
