i have yoko paradas just now, they are very average

ive heard falkens are decent for the money?

wont be changin until the better weather, but then ill be doing 1 or 2 track days and some 1/4mile days through the year

 

Had Falken FK 452s and thought they were pretty damn good, no idea on how well they would last with trackday/¼mile abuse though

 

Falkens were good, but they stop making the good ones (Can't remember the exact ones), and now the other Falkens they are still making aren't as good and are poor in wet conditions.

I quite enjoy the Yokohama's, then there's Uniroyal Rainsport 2 which are good tyres. If your after good budgets then Federals are good and alot of people are supprised how well they handle and how cheap you can pick them up for but made up from a Hard Compound which isn't great for Snow Driving

 

Falken 452s have always been great for me, although for similar money I've heard lots of good things about Vredstein Sessantas if you can get hold of them

 

plenty of threads on here! Sessantas all the way.

 

some good info so far

thanks guys

 

Im over the moon with my Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetrics, miles better than proxes t1rs in all conditions!

 

harry, there a really soft tyre tho, are they not?

thin sidewall, so even low pressure and there fcked.

how are you finding they last?

 

Regarding the F1 asymetrics i had 4 fitted when they first come out and have been impressed with the wet weather grip but 3+ years down the line have had to replace them due to cracks appearing between the tread blocks not because they are worn out.The replacements are Michelin Pilot 3's hopefully these will perform gripwise just as good.

 

Bridgestone RE070 every day of the week

 

Bridgestone RE70 vs F1 Assymetric vs Sessanta?

We need a side by side test as these are often the ones that crop up as being the best. With Sessantas saving around £80 a set they would be my choice.
