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)

 

i have used good year f1s , very pleased with them , i had 205 40 17
and 215 40 16 , i havent got annything techical to say i drive they work
was on a 2wd sapph

 

F1's for me

 

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.

 

go for the f1s m8 if u wanta good deal on em pm me the size u need

 

Out of the two you've mentioned, F1`s...

 

f1's

why didn't you buy the tyres from martin when you bought the wheels????

 

F1s from www.mytyres.co.uk

i paid Ł155 delivered for 2 Eagle F1 215/40/17 Y

 

I was going to use the tyres off my old wheels but i've decided against it now!

I was kind of erring on the side of the f1's actually, thanks people!

 

ive got f1`s all round cant fault them

 

Had both on mine and infact i have Toyo's on the back and Eagles on the front at the minute. I think there pretty good as an allround road tyre.

I run a as wide as i can not stupid 205 width tyres

 

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.

Definitely F1s. I have F1s on road wheels and Toyo T1-Rs on my track wheels and they are truly shite.

 

I think it must depend on the car a lot as I went from F1 215/40x17 on my old mondy auto to T1R and it was way better, in every respect.

T1-R's on mine are fab Especially when you get them nice and sticky hot....

 

Goodyear Hyrdragrips for Wet weather

 

The T1Rs aren't too bad as road tyres, still not as good as F1s IMO, but as a track tyre they're awful, they squeal worse than a stuck pig.

 

Had absolutly no problems what ever on a track day in Jan at Oulton (pissing it down, fuckjing HaMMERING it down) with T1Rs on.

I found they squeel but still keep grip.

 

Dan they will be fine in the wet as the water keeps the temps down and stops they tyre from getting to hot.

 

Fair enough

 

I had them on the DC2. They will melt on a dry track day. No matter what i did with pressures it didnt help, i litterally ripped blocks of tread off.

 

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!
