Which tyres?
Just bought some new wheels from Reyland, (arrived today, thanks!) and now i'm deciding which tyres to buy.
Its a choice between Goodyear Eagle F1's or Toyo proxes TR-1's really.
Anyone had experience of either of these tyres?
Which would you go for?
Cheers in advance!

Both much of a muchness in the dry - I would favour for the F1 though due to my own personal experienc of them being better in the wet than the toyo's and we live in the UK- which is mostly wet LOL
(have had both)

Had both but on different cars so can't compare like for like but the F1's were a huge improvement over the old Avons I had on the Cossie. Very good in the wet.

F1 just hope they don't bulge out like my ones did!!
Consider UNIROYAL RAINSPORT 1, which I now use and are much better but a lot noisier and harder ride.

I had em on on a session at Ford Fair last year..
They weren't *that* bad tbh, apart from near the end of the session when the back end just kicked out. Obviously overheated now I think back!
I need 4 new tyres soon and not sure what to go for, especially with Winter coming up, and the ring over easter.
Really considering Goodyear Hydragrips, but don't want them to melt on a dry track!
