Which of these tyres would you choose
Need 4 new tyres, choices are:
03 STI
225/45 R17
All inc vat & del from Camskill.
F1 GSD3 91Y £69.50 (Not sure about the lower load rating)
F1 GSD3 94W XL £83.00
Toyo T1-R 94Y XL £75.00
Currently have F1's on front and happy with level of grip but not wear of the outer edges.
Thanks

Go for the F1 XL version, if you're not already using the Extra Load version, it may account for the outer edge wear.

the toyo and goodyear suffer (even with the strenghtened sidewalls) with too much flex, but its up to you.

I have had all 3, T1S T1R and the F1 all in 17 inch.
I would pay extra for the F1.
Toyo T1S soft side walls, squirms about when pushed hard, good grip in the dry and wet but crap when damp. edges wear.
Toyo T1R as above but side walls seem to be stiffer, seem to last longer also.
F1's XL are good all round, these were all 215x17x40
