Eagle F1's GSD 3's Or Michelin PE 2's?

[Illusion]

Ok, i'm in the market for a new set of rubber, but i'm stuck on which set to buy...

I've been reading reviews on both of these and i'm stuck...they all get good reviews...anybody tried both sets???

Also do I go for 185/55's or 195/50's? I'm running 185/55's Toyo's at the mo', which everyone know is the stated profile for the Willy, but it seems generally 185/55's are more expensive and i'm not talking by a fraction either.

Someone help me decide...

well if u want a slightly harder ride, but more cornering stability........go for 195s........if u like the body roll and have 4" deep potholes evrywhere on the roads near u.....get 185s......cant comment on the make as iv not tried both.......but the pe2s are excellent tyres

As a recent review of the Williams said:

'Renault really hit the sweet spot with the Williams'

Do you really want to go and piss all their testing up the walls and fit 195's?

Goodyear's in 195/50/15 are £140 for a set of 4 from www.mytyres.co.uk

I have had Goodyear Eagle Ventura's and think they are brilliant, had them on 2 1.9 pug GTi's aswell as the williams.

Had Federal ss595 on my Civic Type-r and they were really good too, wore well, great grip in the dry and wet, quiet and only £49 a corner for 17"ers.

Yeah exactly...

But 185/55's they're an extra 20 quid a corner...why are 185's so expensive in comparison???

[MatBrown]

Less common size, so not produced in as many quantities.

generaly the eagles and toyos are soft compound so wont last anywhere near as long as the michelins you get the best of both worlds with the mich pe2s they grip well and last a lot longer and have a masive rim protector and non directional the perfect tyre for the willy !
