Smile what tyres you use

at the moment i am on toyos but all 4 need replacing. they are 16" and just wondered what you guys recommend as you have maybe tried a few different brands. obviously good all round grip and longevity a must! (longevity, may have made that word up? long lasting!)

Just put four new Goodyear Eagle F1s on mine based on the recommendations of other Scoobynet users.

Haven't really had the chance to abuse them yet

Currently on Bridgestone SO2s, which are a pig to get hold of.
Used to have Falken FK451s, same pattern as the GSD, a lot less money, and I found them really good.

Bridgestone S03. Quite good in dry. Still don't know in wet.

Thumbs up

Just got some Goodyears GSD3 on 16" wheels. Very impressive. Upgraded from Pirelli P-Zeros.

I've been told that if it's longevity you want then Vredestien are the best. Almost as much grip as Toyos too, apparantly.

2nd hand info though.
