The car is due a new set of boots in the next few weeks and I can't decide on
What to get. Currently it is on P Zeros which I can't stand. So my question is.
What would you guys recommend.

 

Eagle F1's or Dunlop Sport Maxx - had both over the last few years. Very good tyres. I'm sure there are many other decent ones out there, especially when you start breaking down your requirements - dry performance vs wet and so on.

 

Thanks fella. Well don't need them for track use just the odd bit of fast road and wet
Weather driving.

 

Toyo's are good in the dry but not quite as good as f1's in the wet...so F1's are my choice.

 

RE070's getting a set fitted tonight, £99 each from camskill in 225/45/17

 

F1's definitely the best all round tyre I have used .. on my 3rd set now

 

Totally agree with you mate. I have T1Rs on my spare set of wheels. I can't
Find any for my 18s though. I need 235/40 18

 

Has anybody got or used these in the past. VREDESTEIN ULTRAC SESSANTA.

 

I`ve had them and they were good but I`ve just put 4 Maxxis MAZ1`s on mine and they`re bloody good. I haven`t `scrubbed them in` yet but already I find the grip immense

 

Thanks fella.

 

Yep, found them a good all round tyre, especially for the money!
In the dry they perform well, but do start to squeal when pushed hard in the corners.
Also good in the wet, actually found them pretty good in the snow as well.

Preferred them to Goodyear Asymmetric, but these were their V1 tyres.

Just about to put 4 Yokohama Neova AD08's on, and can't wait to see how they perform!!

 

Anyone used a company called camskill.

 

Yes and I`d definately recommend them

 

Thanks mate.

 

I used them for 95% of the parts for my FTO (they`d even give a club discount or chuck in a free keyring). Since having the Scooby I`ve had tyres from them and service is excellent mate.

 

great in the wet. But i found they wore quickly on the insides so i had premature life span from them. Keep an eye on the inside treads

 

I've got the Sessantas on my WR1, done about 4k on them. Liked them at first, good grip but find on Mway to be harsh with micro vibration thro steering and floor even after careful wheel balancing. Lot of weights needed eg 150gm. The previous Pirelli Rossos were a better all round tyre. Definately wouldn't buy again.

 

Yup .. in the past .. quite good .. better than Toyos, but not as good as F1's imo .. but quieter..

No .. but only because I find MyTyres http://www.mytyres.co.uk/ cheaper .. I do always get a price from them

 

I've just come across these. Never heard of them before, but come a close second on this website for my size of wheel:

F1's are the tyre of all-round choice though.

 

Yep, See post 5

Got my new re070`s fitted yesterday, Must remember to make these ones last a bit longer than my last set of toyo`s, I can already feel the difference and i`ve not tested them properly yet

 

Done the same here. Ordered today and fitting on Saturday...Cant wait to try them, but I bet its going to snow for the next 8 months now

 

Thanks for all the replys guys. I will be checking those links out when I get home.

 

Anyone know the tread wear rating of AD08's? So i can get an idea of compound.

 

Does this help??

Well done mate. Didn't see that first time round. Gonna order some new tyres though them in the next few days, still undecided as to what to get at the moment.

 

Matt,

Play it safe and go for F1 asymm,great in the dry and wet.

You can't go wrong

 

Maxxis...£75.80 fitted...the guy at the garage I had them from fooked up on the price

 

Unfortunately not.

There is a tread wear rating on the side walls of all tyres that givve you an idea to how soft/hard the compound is. For instance, toyo R888 mediums are 100. I think most normal road tyres are usually 200 or more. Some soft track/road tyres have a rating of nought. I know that Yoko's AD048 come in hard medium and soft but it would be nice to know the tread rating of them as well as the AD08's

 

I thought ad08`s only came in 1 compound. I will try and find out more...

 

This should help

- 8mm tread depth (Unlike a R-spec tyre's 4.5 - 5 mm) and a 180 UTQG Treadwar rating so you can expect resonable tread life.
