Default Good road tyres

Had a couple of suggestions for tyres but am unsure which to go for

Goodyear Eagle F1
Toyo Proxes
Dunlop SP2040

Is one better than the other? Or should I just go for the cheapes of the three?

Thanks

You'll get as many opinions as you've had hot dinners mate. It depends somewhat on what you're driving as well as a RWD BMW M5 might suit one tyre that doesn't suit a mini etc. Don't think any of the ones you have suggested are 'bad' , the Goodyear giving consistant good reviews perhaps over the other two.

This place gives some good real world reviews with what car they were fitted to:

What size are you interested in as that will to an extent determine your choice?

All-weather use...just dry use?

Ultimate grip, long life or just a general purpose everyday tyre?

All weathers and roads etc

Using some unheard of ditchfinders at the moments and it about time I got some good tyres. I use the Snake Pass and Cat and Fiddle roads at least twice a week and the weather can be terrible so a good all rounder would be ideal.

The Goodyears seem to get good reviews
