TYRES BEST ONES

[mon]

i take that these EAGLE F1 GS-D3 are the best tyres

yes

or are there others ?

[ae]

I have them on my car. Ace in all conditions. Plenty of grip wet or dry.

had them. they wear too quickly imo. vredstein sportrac 2's are now on mine and just as happy with grip levels. albeit they perform slightly worse in the wet but they wear a lot slower and are roughly the same price

[16v_russ]

really silly q but do they do fifferent types of f1?

[Rich]

no. the gsd3's superseeded the gsd 2's. different tread patterns

[Swervin_Mervin]

no. the gsd3's superseeded the gsd 2's. different tread patterns

Not true. Depends on tyre size. Some sizes are only GSD2 fitment and some are GSD3. Both are still made.

[Zek]

Theres also these: EAGLE F1 Asymmetric :)
But im not sure what sizes thay do :?:

[Crossers]

According to ReifenTest.com they are practically the same, except one's nearly double the price of the other?

Only do the cheaper one in 195's though.

I used to run the 195/50s til I went back to 185/55 PE2s. Loved them and can't complain.

The mrs has 195/55 GSD2s on her Xsara VTS and I also think they're stonking on that. Maybe even slightly better that the 195/50s which were GSD3, although it's pointless comparing different sizes. :)

[mon]

so when i get new tyres these are the ones ?

[mon]

so are the eagle f1 tyres best ones? for all round i am useing a539 at moment

[bass_direct]

i highly highly rate parada spec 2's but they come with a hefty price tag.

[bass_direct]

can't find them in 195/50/15

[bass_direct]

ok scrap that

found them

seriously they are the best tyres i've driven with! and i've eagle f1's too! they come a very close 2nd.

[drsmith1979]

anyone tried the Marangoni Mythos tyres?

a friend of mine has used them on some hill events and they sponsor some motorsport in Italy and have a good rep there, pretty cheap too considering their potential performance?

[drsmith1979]

ooops sorry i meant the Marangoni 'Zeta linea' similar to the F1's

[Clio_GTT]

so are the eagle f1 tyres best ones? for all round i am useing a539 at moment

yoko a539 have been good for me, i've had them all, F1 GSD3, T1-S, vredestein, they're all much of a muchness, no tyre is what i'd call "good" in the wet and they're all comparable in the dry.

My next tyres will be Toyos

[Swervin_Mervin]

You can get the Parada Spec2s in 195/50 for £31 inc Vat. :twisted:

http://www.edworthys.co.uk/Yokohama-Parada-15-Single-Tyre-p-148583.html

[FATBOY]

i would say no there not,,, but a very close second! and good value at that price!

[mon]

they are looked on my tyres there not there

[mon]

they look like a a539 update also do they were faster than them or the f1 tyres?

[bass_direct]

they are the top spec yokohama's, not an update..

i would go for them

eagle f1's are good also!

decisions decisions!

your not wrong

[Swervin_Mervin]

Unless you plan on going on track go with the F1s. You'll still have more frip than you need for the road, plus better wet/cold performance.

[jay s]

this had a full set of almost new yoko parada spec 2's hmmm V

i agree :P

[bass_direct]

them front tyres look like they're near their limit!

[drsmith1979]

this was fitted with an Uber high tech set of Bridgestones...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v220/drsmith/FerrariF1Crash.jpg

too easy to blame tyres, steering, suspension instead of what in most cases is someones ego being better at driving than their actual ability.

[Zollo]

:agree:

Unless your tyres or suspension components are actually faulty, a crash will usually be the driver's fault. Manufacturers don't sell tyres that make cars crash. :roll:

[topgeartom]

Just bought a full set of Yoko Paradas last night.

Ive been sort of half assed looking for new tyres as the fronts on my valver are a bit low and the brand - Wanli - isnt brilliant. They sound like they've been made in a jungle clearing somewhere ffs!

Couldnt believe the price posted up by MatBrown. Dirt Cheap!

Had a 30 second search on the web and found a 5% discount code for edworthys too, so ended up getting them for a delviered price of £120, which is frankly daft for top of the range yokos.

Huge thanks to MatBrown, you are now my wallets best friend.

And BTW, ive had Yokos all all my motoring life and found them to be superb in the wet and dry. For the price they are a cracking tyre.

[MatBrown]

Don't thank me, thank Swervin Merv, he posted up the link first.


Mat.

[Swervin_Mervin]

And didn't order them. They're now £41. Booo. Still cheap so sod it.

[richy]

what about them michelins which was used in F1 a few year ago that was blowing up in the USA race! lol

I'd say blowing up tyres would be classified as faulty. :wink:

[Tommo]

Run F1's myself and they are excellent road tyres, best all rounder imo. I wouldn't take them on track tho, rather get some Colways or some other cheap track tyres...
