Any recommendations for which 18" tyres to put on my Hawkeye? I currently have Goodyear Eagle F1's. These are good but the road noise is quite loud. Also they arent that cheap.
Cheers

 

Went from goodyear eagles to vredestein ultrac sessantas, 100 times better all round especially in the wet and when new.
had them for about £110 each fitted locally 235/40/18

 

I've always been a fan of the Falken's, currently have 452's.

Have heard some good reports from a few people on the vredesteins and the marangonis seem to be making some ground to

 

I'm a Toyo Man T1R's only tyres I've used for 10 years on booth Golfs and Scoobs

 

The price of these certainly appeals! £16 each less than Toyo and £34 cheaper than my Goodyears!

 

i have yoko parada spec 2's on mine!awsome in the dry but can be a bit sketchy in the wet! they seem to be wearing well to as i do drive it quite hard!!

 

Can anyone else comment on Falkens? I like the price but do drive some pretty hairy roads to work and back through the dales so dont want to come unstuck!

 

Anyone?

 

I've just put Falken 452's on my 04 sti , can't fault them in the wet, not had a dry day yet !!

 

Had sessantas on my last 2 scoobs and evo

Flawless

 

Vredestein Ultrac Sessantas, got em on my Spec C & wifes 330d, amazing in the wet & a very comfortable ride.

 

Falken 452's are my choice of tyre also, very good tyres, perform well and not so soft you have to replace them after 6000miles.

Had Eagle F1's on the car when I bought it, they too were good, not sure they are available anymore though, think they have been replaced with Eagle Aysometrics or summit daft like that.

 

Bargain, got them on my Hawkeye in 17 and 18". Better than the T1R's I have on my classic and I quite like the Toyo's too.
