Hy can anybody tell me what tyre is better for an SUBI (Turbo) !?
Brigestone S02 PP (215/40 17) or FALKEN GRß 4 (215/40 17)?
Because the FALKEN is about 50 pound cheaper !


Thanks to all experience

The Bridgestone is a better tyre, (astonishing levels of grip in the wet), but whether it is worth £50 more per tyre than the Falken is something each driver has to decide.

I bought the S02s because it tends to rain a lot up here in Scotland, and I would rather have improved wet weather performance at the expense of some dry level grip, and don't mind if they wear a bit quicker as well.

GT555.
I have falken tyres on my STI (they were on it when i bought it)and cant believe how bad they are, in the wet its like driving a porche 911 not a four wheel drive! its actually more unstable that my old BMW. In the dry they just squeel very loudly!
I havnt tied the S02's so cant comment but the best tyre i ever had on my BM were Goodyear f1's,they just didnt last very long on the rear.
