unless any one can recomend tyres or were to get them, i would use r888's as theres a set on ebay but cant afford rear set till next month so wouldnt want to wear the fronts down and then have new ones on the back and also i guess with sh1t tyres on the back it would be a night mare to control?, also do they wear fast?
also just a quick opion of tyres above

Toyo's proxeys TR-1's :agree:

Would recommend these everytime, cheap and decent

i have run falkens before an had reasonable wear out of them 6/7 mths,
but am impressed with the toyo 888's wearing good,just swapped them around,
:agree:

there all around the same price, which is why im asking

james how long you had the toyos? mm to months gone by, as i am considering them

[dangerous dave]

toyos t1rs are nice and cheap, i fitted them to my old dears clio182 but there noisey, mich exaltos where allround better but at twice the price it seems the t1rs are a total bargain. on my 5 the 15" t1rs are fine and i cant fault them, 13"888 are also awesome..

id give the goodyears a go too, they are a very good tyre, bit soft but you get what you pay for:)

[gttjames]

out of that list toyo's or goodyears

[djinuk]

If you can get the Eagle F1's for the same price as them toyos i wouldnt hestiate and get them F1s.. An awesome tyre however a little expensive..


However going of previous experiances bang for buck id say them toyos,

If you're thinking about 888s then give this link a read, it's pretty interesting (post #10 in particular)

Hotel California was a good, didn't like much of their other stuff thou, a bit dated now IMO ;)

[djinuk]

Eagles last a long time, grip amazingly well in all conditions, however the pirce is a lot !

I had the parada's on my 172, Ricardo still has the same set on (i think) very good tyre, if you can get them in your size.
