agreed

 

where or who is best to buy them from???????


mike

 

You have a T4 turboed 2wd and only putting 205 tyres on the back ???
Why?

 

dont you remember seing it at meercat manor, it is sat on its arse!!!!!!


mike

 

Why not get the height sorted and go for 215, 225 or bigger. Maybe its just me but i pack myself in a stg 1 on 205 tyres (yes i know i'm a pussy) hence just got 225s.
It wasn't a critisism, but food for thought, then you can exploit and enjoy the power better, which is what these cars are about.

 

i do like to go very sideways though. and it doesnt scare me one bit if the arse end comes out. it just makes me more excited and makes it more fun.

Fair play you mad man

 

as said Eagle F1's GSD 3

get them from mytyres.com

 

Bearing in mind what you have written there - NOT Goodyear F1s at all.

Toyo R888s, Yoko AO48s (or similar no, the obviously track orientated ones) or Dunlop 02GS.

All Superb, work well even in the damp. Obvioulsy need common sense in standing water (the ONLY time when an F1 would be a better tyre)

Si is right with the tyres he has posted up, Eagle F1's are a shit track tyres unless it wet then there alright.

205/40/17 on a T4 2wd saph :gayflag:
