jim i work in the tyre trade buddy, have done for a long time and all i ever hear about it how shit poxies are and how good f1's are, i use f1's and i wont be using no budget bollocks in the near future.

tvr used poxies for about 3 months then they went gsd3 as the poxies sucked pig shit.

GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!

 

what wrong with nankang and what do they mean by summer use are these no good in winter :blonde:

 

i've found proxies to be very good. but do wear pretty quick.

they also guarranteed... punctures and stuff aswell when i bought then from a proper toyo stockists.

 

this thread is such a so cool tyre guide
ive got the falkens on at the moment
not cheep at £70 a skin for the 205.45.17s..
had yokos on first top rate skins but worn out in 6 months
so question
toyo proxes T1S- any good
or

 

what u on about? heard horror stories off friends about sidewall 'bubbles' coming up on goodyear F1's!...

i have run T1-S's and no worries but 3 bad reports from good years all with 'bubble's' out of the side wall...

so i think you are talking wack or u work for goodyear

plus cheap (which pikey Jimbo is after)....yes...........

 

i work for an independent tyre co.We just choose not to sell known shit. people that get bulged sidewalls normally bullshit about just smacking a kerb the night before, sidewall problems are pretty rare there days, i've seen maybe one in the the last year that was probably genuine failed.

If he wants cheap then they look ok in the beginning and then they are fucking bald in half the milage, then he pays again to get to the same miles as a dear tyre and hey look hes spent the same.

 

I had Avons on my sapph first - total shit, i'll never use them again.
then Yokos - great grip but I fooked them by running low pressure on the back

got Pirelli P7000 now and seem to be very good all round.

 

Find out for yourself! I cant recall mate...............

£55 quid a tyre is fookall, my 16's on the laguna cost £70+ quid for a decent one,

 

I phoned Dartford tyres yesterday but he said they don't stock them and he'd have to look into the price. That's why i asked.

Kwik fit are doing deal on continental spo's at moment, 4 for the price of 3. These any good?

Or Hi-Q can do me 4 goodyear f1's at £87 each.

what do you reckon??

 

i use falken ze51 or something out of choice, best value for money in my opinion, good in the dry good in the wet, dont wear out too quickly and at a reasonable price

at the moment im on avons but not so sure on them

 

are you sure ? i originally had falken ZE51 whatevers on my car (205/45/17) and the were HORIFFIC in the wet when i first changed just the front tyres for proxies i noticed a massive difference.. (the back would slip out like fuck in the wet! ) after swapping them round (ie front on back visa versa) 'just to see' then i would get massive understeer! hence my conclusion! toyos whip.
falkens do LAST FOREVER though! my g/f has done about 15000 miles on her 17s the back are like new but the fronts will need replacing soon!

 

dunno mate my avons are far worse than the flakens were tho

need to get two new tyres aswell now think ill give these toyos a go

 

Toyo Proxies all day - best all round tyre & cheap to boot!!!

I've tried Yokos & Falkens - good but wear out far tooo quickly, Avons are just appalling!!

I got mine from Camskill - cheap, good customer service & can order online!

HTH!
