Try http://www.mytyres.co.uk/start.html Mike for a price guide, they also give ratings for wear, how good they are in the wet, snow? ect

Depends on the kind of roads you use. My last set of Goodyear F1s (admittedly the GSD2's not the 3's) lasted a little over 18k miles, the present set have gone over 14k and still have a reasonable amount left. My Re010's only lasted 9-10k, but I've moved since then - old place had loads of roundabouts before I could get anywhere.
Keep the pressures right, keep the geometry settings right, and rotate them front-rear by the time the fronts get down to 4mm of tread all help extend the life a bit.

Was surprised just how many make's are available through mytyres, i guess it's go with the flow, and choose Toyo / gds 3 / allthough my classic had Falkan tyre's fitted and they seemed to be ok for the price!

Mike,
If you go for Toyo's,I know someone who who is a main dealer for them and has said he won't be beaten on price for them.He will also service a car for a good price and I trust him,as they will be setting the geometry up on mine shortly!!
Regards
Dean

Guess you can't have it all,like most thing's. It's not the price of the tyre's that determine's my choice, but it pay's to research these thing's for feed-back. Just before i sold my classic i fitted gds 3's but only covered about 100 mls with them so never got the chance experiance how good they were!
Dean you got PM mate
