I'm a big fan of yokohama parada spec 2's 8)

The only downside to them I've found is the lack of grip when the temperature outside drops below freezing, nedd to light them up 1st and they're fine

That was when I had them on the front last winter, I've got them all round now, so I'd assume they could make the back end a bit more of a handful in the freezing cold :twisted: I assume that as I haven't had chance to drive it in the cold yet :evil:

Barums for winter on some winter wheels

Goodyear f1's/gsd3's or Toyo Proxes Spring/Summer/Autumn

The search function is poor on this site mate. You will porbably find it difficult to find some stuff but there have been literally hundreds of threads on this.

General consensous, i think is;

1st choice - Goodyear gds3's or f1's (dont think they make f1's any more?)

2nd choice - Toyo proxes

GSD3 are F1s ;)

You can get:
185/55/15 Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD-2
or
195/50/15 Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD-3

They have different patterns and the different sizes alter handling slightly but that is a subject of much debate on here ;) lol

I find the search function ok on here, there are loads of threads on tyres, it comes down to personal preference really, I have 195/50/15 F1's on mine which I can't fault, very good in all weather conditions and are a very reasonable price from mytyres so I doubt I will change from these when I next buy new tyres...

I read a thread on here years ago in which a member who was a rally driver raved about F1's so I bought some and have never looked back really, not saying they are the best and some members here don't rate them but they suit my Williams and my style of driving...
