Question

I'm just after peoples views/reccomendations on what tyres to get for my almost bald Bugeye,the ones that have been thrown into the arena are:-

- Toyo's
- Goodyear F1
- Bridgestone so3
- " RE010
- " RE040

For your info the majority of my driving is A & B Roads rather than motorways so grip is essential and I have no intentions of doing trackdays etc.......

Cheers,
555

Thumbs up

555 Boy,

I've had toyo's fitted yesterday, replacing the RE010's, the diffrence was instanlty noticable. Must better ride quality, no tramlining, better turn in. They need a bit of scrubbing before I really give it some. Not tried the others on your list, but Toyo's seem to up there on "which tyre to use" list. And at £72 + VAT, you can't go far wrong. Another Scoob was having four fittted after me.

I've followed these discussions with interest too, & for durability + grip I had whittled it down to either SO3s or Toyos (MY01)

No I'm not.
Dealer could only find 3.

Going back to the Goodyear F1's again now.
