Vredestain's fronm camskill

motorola222

im a huge fan of the Eagle F1 there wet grip is unreal i had toyo T1R's on my clio sport and ive never been so scared to drive in the wet!!!! they did wear well thought.

the vredestains ive heard alot about but havent had an experience with, but so far the genral consensus is there brilliant.

ill be choosing goodyear from now on as there the only tyre i trust ive never taken bends at speeds again like i could with the goodyears.

Well I had T1r's on my mini cooper and they were awesome wet or dry. They cornered as if someone had stuck a scaffold pole through the engine block. Awesome. they guy I sold the wheels to with them on even e-mailed me to tell me how great they were!

I ran my bugeye STi on Potenzas RE050's for two years in all weather, including a trip to the Ardeche and Verdon Gorges. It is what I would buy if I could find the cash.

The best of the cheapies would be KUMHO ECSTA SPT (KU31).

They have a cult following, and are really very very good. Look up some reviews.

I have Kumho Ecsta on mine and honestly they are brilliant. Especially when you consider the price.

I had them on my 17's on the Impreza and loved them, when the tyres need replacing on my 18's i'll be getting some more.

Have been quoted for a set of Goodyear f1 asymmetric y rated 215/45/17 £414 fitted and balanced. I think that is a good price.

motorola222

Yeah very good mate

Anyone had experiance with sport contact 3?

alluny

Being new to the forum and my subaru too, the concensus of opinion seems to be the Goodyear is a good all round tyre. Think I will go for them,

I have bought a few tyres off Camskill, never had any problem with them. Prices very competitive, and delivery lightning quick.

Yep used them a couple of times, cheap and next day delivery, you can't ask for more..................or can you ?............Alloys Wheels, Tyres, Performance Tuning, Disc Brakes to Suspension from Elite Direct, Essex UK.. .phone them for a price match/beat and the service is equally as good.

Had the tyres fitted and seem to have transfored the vehicle. Got to run the tyres in for 50-100 miles, but first impressions are they are good.
