Tyre Decisions...

Well, I'm running a bit low on the front toyo t1-s's (think smooth inner edges lol) so am thinking about what to get next.

I've not been particularly happy with the toyos - although they do grip well in the dry and never squeal under pressure, wet handling is a bit iffy and, to be honest, they 'squirm' too much during cornering.

I was thinking that perhaps it's just because they're low that they're not gripping and therefore are moving about more, but less tread = more tyre on the road = more grip, surely?

Then I remembered something that was said on passionford about them having sidewalls that were too soft, and I think I agree - the grip is still there but they just don't 'bite' on turn in so I don't trust them.

Mat commented on them as well when he worked on the car, so I don't think it's just me!

I don't really want to go to 195s so comments on different 185s are welcome
I'm thinking about F1s as they're only £52 at the moment on mytyres...

F1's seem to be the best option

N/W williamsland recomend exalto 2's

I love the F1s on the front of mine takes a serious amount of high speed cornering to get them squealing never mind loosing grip.

PE2s are like £70 each on mytyres though! But I'm led to believe that they have stiff sidewalls?

I might have to go with the F1s then, though I hate smearing them over the road when they cost good money... lol

The toyo's were going to just be a summer tyre but I ran them over winter in the end too. Wear has been pretty good but I'm pushing a bit harder now it's dry and they're rapidly wearing out!
