need some new tyres for my RST, got 17s on it

thinking i'm gonna buy some eagle F1's

what they like?

what does every1 else recommend?

 

Good tyres IMO

 

sound think i'll just stick with these n not complicate things

 

I run F1's and they stick like shit to a blanket.........really are good. And have a really cool tread pattern too

 

mine are fine

 

Very good tyre. If you're interested in tyre pattern and price you could try www.mytyres.co.uk

 

i prefer potenza s03

 

F1's the best road tyre you can buy IMO

 

or f1 gsr3...

 

Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3's are the dogs cahooners!! Awesome grip in wet or dry. No other tyre even comes close. Wicked tyre tread pattern as well!!

 

I've just got F1's on my car tyres are spot on

 

dogs danglys mate

 

Pradas's top choice every time! I have 205-40-16

 

how much are these Jano?

 

About Ł85 each.

 

they better than F1's?

also is there just one type of eagle F1's?

 

The F1's are generally available in two spec's, GSD2's which are the earlier versions or the latest GSD3 spec which are better. Just look on a search engine for reviews and make your mind up from there. Black Circles, Mytyres.co.uk and Tyresrus all do great deals for these and many other quality boots for your car.

 

I think so yes. I have used F1's for the last 4 years on many of my cars. I like the design and the feel from the F1.

But when compared with a True track tyre (as close as you can get for road use) the Prada is by far better. The rubber is made from a better compound and sticks like glue round corners.

The other thing is that the prada's i have fitted are a very hard to find low profile of 205-40-16. The F1 is not available in this size.

So if you have a low ride and skirts etc.. like a S1 with these tyres you will have no issues of rubbing against the 22year old arches.

 

i wanted some 205 40 r16 but like jano said ya cant get them in F1's so mine does rub a little bit comin in and out of my driveway

 

toyo proxes t1r or somethink like that on mine.

 

are they're any cheaper alternatives to the F1's?

they coming in pretty expensive!

 

Just bear in mind there are only 4 points of contact between the car and the road - and it's those 4 points that keep you ON the road.

So why cut corners ?

 

yeah i know what you mean. is there really that much difference between F1's and say for example toyo Ts-1 or what ever they're called?

i was looking to spend about Ł70 a corner

 

Any decent qality performance tyre will do the job, F1's, Toyo Proxes, Michelin Pilot..........it depends on how hard you drive the car. Do you need an all weather tyre or is the car a sunny day driver ? Ł70 a corner should see you alright - I paid Ł50 a corner for my F1's.

It's a decent car with decent power - make sure it stays on the road and stays in the right direction

 

eh?!? how did you get your F1's for Ł50?

cheapest i found them for so far is Ł88.20

really i just want some good tyres as you know traction in a RST is nigh on impossible, also doing a track day soon

dont drive it too often but when i do i like to give it a good rag

and mine is just dangerous in the wet on its current khumos!

 

Kumho's are a decent budget tyre but not a performance one. I run those on my 1.25 Zetec Fiesta and I really rate them but I'm a high mileage merchant. For sticky, F1's...............

 

What kind of Kumho tyres do you have?

 

not too sure, i've have had them on my RS for over 3 years now and they've still got good thread left! swear they're made of plastic

i won them through REVS magazine, about 5 years ago i knew i wanted an RST so just got some tyres to fit n left them in my garage until i got an RST and some 17's

 

im runnin kumho as39 on one and kumho turismos on the other, both really good tyres

plus i got the as39 for 20 quis a go
