Anyone got any good recomendations for tyres for standard Scooby rims (classic) 205/50/16, need to replace mine shortly, currently running Super Conti's


Cheers

Goodyear eagel F1 gsd3'S win hands down but wear quickly on outer edges and cost a bit more... outstanding wet grip and pretty fine in the dry.

Toyo Proxes TS1 Good deal cheaper at around £70 per corner but nowhere near the wet grip of the F1's but are a very progressive tyre. Tend to tramline a bit. Wear relatively well.

Bridgestone SO3's good wearing tyre and great in the dry but pish in the wet and tramline even more.... and are a bit costly.

Some cheaper makes now getting a lot better so may be worth listening to what other peeps feel rather than going with the old tried and tested

Agree with everything but the tram-lining. I have a set in 205/50/16 which I have run at various pressures from new to only a few mm left and no tramlining at all ever. This is something I am very aware of, as my last tyres (Bridgestone) tram-lined apallingly

Also Avon ZZ3 are started to get rated quite well on here and are even cheaper than Toyo's - not tried 'em though.
