Default Best tyre choice out of this selection

Car Tyres - MPV Tyres - People Carrier Tyres - R19" - 235/35/19, 235/35 R 19 -

Anyone suggest what they'd go for out of this list please

I would usually go for GSD3s but lots of people like toyos so are the goodys worth a couple of quid more or not?

If it makes any difference, its an 04STi

Personally Goodyear F1's as the best all rounder, I recon there better than the toyos. I would stay away from the budgets. 19's are big wheels

I've had the F1's and as said above thay are a good all rounder. Since changed to the T1R's and don't like them at all. If i was going for Toyo's again , i'd try the T1's .

I've had two set of F1's on the car in the past and loved them, Great in the wet and amazing in the dry. Changed to Toyo T1's as they came with a new set of wheels.

Worst tyres I've ever had, Ok(ish) in the dry or damp but they don't clear standing water very well + They have worn out 7K earlier than the F1's.

Just replaced with F1's and I'm so much happier with them.

So stick to F1's the Toyo's will disapoint

Thanks for the replies guys

I've been a lover of the F1s since the GSD2 days and have had loads of them in various sizes from 15s - 18s but I thought I'd ask those who have tried the toyos what they thought of them.

My only concern is that the side walls of the goodys are quite soft and with such a low profile, I might regret them. But then I've never felt how the toyos handle either..........


....... F1s it is I think
