Know I know you lot may find this starnge bearing in mind I normally mention winter tyres but I am about to swap my tyres over and am going to buy some new ones. However thre are soooo many manufacturers to choose from.

Below is a list of tyres that I can get for my car here in sausageland! However I am after opinions as to which one is best, primerily due to your experience with them. The url is in german but I am sure the tyre names are the same in english.

I am torn between the pirelli P zero nero and a Honkook one which was recommended by a guy here with a Focus ST.

But obviously I am open to suggestions.

Cheers.

Hankook S1-EV* is rated quite highly by a friend of mine.

I use two sets of tyres, but I don't know if I will bother in the future, as I am concerned about the rubber going off as it sits in my shed for up to five months over winter/summer.
I think I will just use the RE070s for tracking.
Anyone know anything on this subject?

 

Used to run Yoko Prada spec 2's on my Clio sport having tried lots...they were without doubt a stand out type but a little twitchy in wet weather while still cold. I think they have replaced them this year and I intend to put them on my wagon when I need new tyres.

 

Toyo R888

 

Kept cold, and in the dark, they will be o.k. My R888's have had a "rest" over the winter. RE-070's for the winter months.

Falken FK452 with no hesitation; I have no experience of that particular Hankook but they do make exceptionally good tyres for particular applications.

T1s and T1r are, IMHO, rubbish, compared with the FK452. Not keen on any Pirelli road tyres with the exception of the Pzero Corsa, but that's not on your list.

 

OK thanks so far. I have heard nasty things about Toyos in the wet so think I will stear clear of them. I have only ever had Pirelli P6000 on one of my cars so can not comment on Pirellis. The best tyres I ever had were Bridgstone S02 but you can't get them anymore.may just go for the Hankook or the Pirelli Pzero nero based on price.

 

Re070s for the winter!
Your skill levels must be second only to that of thye infamous PS Lewis.
TBH it is the greasy in between conditions wthat these tyres make for an "exciting" daily commute.
