Goodyear F1's not bad at all (they look rarther nice as well)

PS. I probably would has gone for Toyos if the lease company would let me fit them.

chrisp

you might be lucky to get your hands on S02's or S02PP

Goodyear F1's very pleased with mine and they withstood a trackday quite well too

but i do drive like a wuss though!

Had 2 sets of falkens, been really good for me but i dont go mad all the time... Cost a fair bit less than others (i picked up 215/40/17s x4 for £280 inc VAT

Well, call me boring but I bought a set of 4 Michellins .... that was 15000 miles ago and they have yet to show signs of real wear.

Thats a RESULT in my book, the originals lasted 11000 and all shagged out - CR4P!!

Its life or grip - I lost my grip and chose life ..... the scoobie costs loads anyway, reduce it if you can!!

Michelins certainly last forever but I don't rate their grip especially in the wet. In the dry they're probably as good as any. I presume that as with Goodyear and Bridgestone, their F1 involvement will help in the development of a better tyre.

For all round use I rate the Conti Sport Contact 2. Excellent in the wet, pretty good in the dry, very predictable. Wear rate is awesome, they have a wear rate of 280. Got 24,000 out of a set (swapped them with 3mm left). Don't know what they'd be like on a Scoob though.

paul corrigan

get the falkens for slippy in the wet and not so good in the dry they will also increase your stopping distance
personaly i would not put them on a bmx if they fitted that is.
no i havent tried

ok so its down to
1/bridgestone so2pp
2/goodyear f1
which ones??? decisions decisions!!

I'm very happy with F1 GS-D2s on my Scooby. I can get them squeeling nicely on roundabouts now but it feels very planted still

Lambo

Don't get S02's as they finished production a long while ago, so any you can find will be way past their sell by date ( i.e. rubber goes hard ). I've just got S03's and can' fault them cept that you can feel the tread squirm a bit on the back when new.

Goodyear F1's GS-D2 - very good tyre, maybe not the ultimate grip in the dry, but very predictable all the same. In the wet thy're very good indeed.
They're also quite a bit cheaper than the Bridgestones.

yhe chod

lambo-interesting point about being "past thier sell buy date"-
just to confuse myself im now seriously thinking of the toyo t1-s tyres it seems everyones using them on thier jap super cars and thier resonably priced too.anyone know of a cheap place to buy prefably in or around london-i dont mind traveling.cheers

Eagle F1's! 16" on MY97

A mate got Toyos on the strength of the recommendations on this board and other places and is VERY disappointed with them on MY00 - Grooves seem to be very wide... Do they wear fast???

Only had me toyo's for a k or so but wide groves mean they kick *** in the wet which was reason i got em having span it in the wet b4 hand so i cant complain & they do look the dogs do das So don't rule em out
