right boys and girls i'm in serious need of some new rubber and have narrowed the search down to a set of either:

Goodyear EAGLE F1 GS-D3 225/40 ZR18 92Y XL BSW, VSB

or

Toyo PROXES T1-R 225/40 ZR18 92Y RF Rim-protectionleiste



Anyone tried both or have an opinion. I've not been too impressed with the wear of my t1-s so am a bit wary of going with toyos again.

 

Goodyears got them on mine

 

goodyears anyday, had them a couple of times before the toyo's and I wouldn't have anything else ever again

 

thought as much - how do they wear?

 

I'd go goodyears, much less road noise too.

Let us know where you find the cheapest, ive got to replace 1 of mine!

 

Colway remolds for very exciting driving with 340 bhp

 

Goodyears also - super grip even in wet

 

I've heard that Woo Sung Dark Horses are ok, unless you actually drive the car.

No seriously, I have had Pilot 2's on the front for a while now, better that Bridgestones, have'nt tried anything esle yet.

 

Ditto. I'm looking to replace mine in a month or two so knowing where to get the cheapest Goodyear's would be helpful.

 

rob just put 2 vredesteins on the front of mine @180 snuts a pop but must say they are working well grip very well on the front when you gas it on the roundabout to the back still comes out but i think the only way i'm gonna stop that happening is if i chain it down
you missed a good weekend btw at the pod

 

F1's all the way. I've done 10 miles on mine.but for 40£ extra they will be worth it. Rarerims.co.uk.

Anyone want some re050's on WRX wheels let me know.

Gazz from Kenya which is sh1tbtw wanting to be driving or polishing his car. - know sad but by god its a **** hole boys.

 

well the cheapest place for the goodyears seems to be mytyres.com - think i will be ordering a set tomorrow - £396 delivered.

Richie - i had a set of 4 verdesteins on my uk300 for 6 months before i sold the car - i was really impressed with them to be honest - great grip and wore well. Having said that i got a set of 4 18" for about 300 from mytyres, where did you get yours?

 

yeah that is sad! - is there a safari you can go on or something!

 

£396 all round? How much for fitting/balancing?

 

F1's every time - the last 8 sets have always been Goodyears

 

Spoil yourself and get some P Zero Corsa Assimetricos

235/40/18

 

Going on one soon but until then I'll just have to grin and bear it. Been up all night back and forth!

So F1's for rob then? How much on the road rob?

 

Sounds like your having a really good time getting to know the toilet I have to say I've never really wanted to go to africa and you've kind of proved it. Give me thailand anyday

 

danny - give me a call will ya - your phone if pernamently off!

 

Nah, last time I went there a rather large Tsunami came along

 

no signal dude, i live in a black hole with regards to mobile signal's!!!!!!!! and I can't find my phone at the moment it's in the house somewhere but i can't ring it to find out where it is PM me your number

 

I was there the year before, makes you think a little but You can't go around in life thinking "that might happen or this would happen"

 

Ladyboy holiday?

 

Your only gay if you take it!!!!!!!!

 

sorted - set of F1's going on Monday - time to make wahts left of my toyos slicks

 

Yeah kind of having a cr@p time at the moment! Its on the up now as the sun is shining and loads of new eye candy turned up mostly Itaian. Mmmmm. Still cannot believe how poor a country it is though. Makes you think how lucky and spoilt we are.

Anyway rob how much and where from in the end?

 

after a lot of hagling and fibbing £420 fitted and balanced for a set of 225,40,18's - give me a shout when your back

 

Wow makes my wheels a really good deal that!

Will do. Need to check the bleeding on mine and alignment soon as I get back so I can enjoy them. Not looking forward to the journey home mind you! Safari is booked for tuesday in the masai mara safai lodge for three days.Hoping it is going to be great. See you all at the welsh although I will be in the nissan I think as I haven't got a pass. If anyone has a spare can you PM me please?

 

well i got them fitted yesterday - hard to give a direct comparison as i am waiting to scrub them in a bit but first impressions are there is much less road noise (the toyos were pretty much slicks so this might have a part to play!) the steering is much lighter (same thing) andthere is much less lean in corners, even taking it relatively easy - they seem to have a much harder (and better) side wall of the toyos. Will give a full report soon!
