i've always had eagle F1's mate, cant fault them.

not sure how they'd handle the mega power you have though.

888's maybe?

What for? track use or day to day?

Mr Shannon

What about the "new" proxes anyone tried them?

R5AAL

Parada spec 2s are good had then on my S2 escort turbo
Pilot sport cups,run them on my Focus RS they're great in dry and wet good for road and track,are pricey though

For track Yoko A048s are better than R888s but dont last as long

rapidcossie

Those cheaper F1's will be the shit ones.

The wont be made in germany like the dearer ones and the the speed rating and load rating is less so makes me think the compund will be diff too.


Check this as I was almost caught out.

Yup the cheap ones are made in China

The Prada Spec2 seem to be selling well we've had no complaints yet.

its for road use, the tyres are cheap yes so they could be the cheapy chinese ones,

may have to stick with the toyos, i can get the f1s for Ł400, guaranteed to be the good ones

I recon Falken FK-452 are just as good as F1's and Toyo proxes.

Which are the new? I have a fairly new set on mine, and they're different to my mates proxes? Had no problems with em, nice tyre.

If you are after noisey wheel spins then try nang kang's

Ollie.

I find continental contisports are a great all rounder.

dangerousbrian

avon is my choice. used them for years...currently on zv3's.. they are Ł100 odd each but i get them for cost so thats also a deciding factor for me

Cossierick

A048's everytime

In what size? Some tyre companys may not make em in your size.

I rate F1's and T1-R's. Wont have anything but on my Sapphs if I can help it

There was a recent tyre test in Auto Express, very intersting it was, just for the record F1's came 6th overall, Pirelli came first overall, which was shock to me, but my fave tyre was there at no1 in the wet deep standing water tests!!

Michelin Pilot sports 2's if you really need a road tyre....

personally I'd just run R888's! awesome tyres and you CAN live with them day to day in my experience.

R888's mate! I run them on day to day cars as well as trackcars.

cheap, last well I think as well for how much grip they give

Cheapest tyres around

I personally wouldn't use the Paradas, not because there is anything wrong with them, but because they are handed AND directional, so they cannot be swapped from side to side. In my opinion, this is an essential attribute of a tyre to get the best life out of them on a Cosworth, as they seem to wear inside edges so aggressively on the rear with a standard beam, so you want to be able to swap them from side to side to ensure that you are replacing the tyre only when it is completely worn, rather than because the inside edge is completely fucked and has got like that, because you can't move the tyres from side to side.

black scoob

got AO48s on the scoob, seem like a really good tyre..my mate has the pilot sport 2s on his,good all round tyre, he had 888s before that and preferred them to the michelins tho...

My fave tyre is the Uniroyal Rainsport 1, as I like wet biassed tyres.
