steve1093 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Hi guys,will be needing some new front tyres very soon... I was looking at Parada Spec-2's, but i've heard they're pretty shite in the wet and cold.. so was thinking of Goodyear Eagle F1's or Dunlop Direzza DZ101's?Anyone had any experiences with either of these?Cheers,Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Goodyears get very good ratings in wet and dry (not personal experience) cant say I've heard of the others tho in afraid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JordanEP91 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Why not try some michelins mate very good tyres in both dry and wet conditions? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I run eagle f1s at the minute cannot fault them, they're an amazing tyre. They've lasted ages never ever lost grip wet or dry. Ill be upgrading to AD08s when these wear out though! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
steve1093 Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 Cheers guys, am open to suggestions, but think im swaying more towards the F1's at the monent.. I run eagle f1s at the minute cannot fault them, they're an amazing tyre. They've lasted ages never ever lost grip wet or dry. Ill be upgrading to AD08s when these wear out though! yeah i'll probably go for them in the end. and i'd love some AD08's, especially for the summer! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I have AD08's and love them, seemingly endless amounts of grip in the dry and bags in the wet! But at £80 a corner they aint the cheapest lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beastmode panda Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Eagle f1's are the best road tyre I've owned follow closely by rainsport2's. Absolutely phenomenal tyres imo. I have to rate the r888's though, fucking spot on tyres in the wet and just insane in the dry. No tyre squeal and no spinning, full traction. (in the dry obv). Tyres I don't like - t1r's, over rated imo. Parada spec2's, absolutely shite. Falken ze's, also fucking shite. Just depends how much money you have.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
steve1093 Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 Yeah i'd love something along the lines of R888's or AD's, just dont fancy spending that much just yet... I think it'll probably be the F1's then, and is it the GSD3 spec ones that people have used? Size 195/45/R15? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I run 195/45 GSD3s however you might have a struggle finding them as they've been superceeded by the f1 asymetrics now, and they're not as good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starletgt-shady Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 R888s all the way worth every penny. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beastmode panda Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I run 205/50/15 R888's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PhilGT93 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 i've just got some maxxis maz1's and i can't fault them so far in the dry and damp Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 (edited) I heard that R888's on medium compound last like 1000 miles on the road? Not exactly cost effective lol. Only for smooth race track use what I was told. Edited April 26, 2013 by AdamB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FreedomCore Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Kumho tyres are cheap at the minute. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arnold Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I've got Goodyear Eagle F1's too and great on the road. Didn't have much confidence in them on the track through so I may buy a spare set of wheels and some 888's for the track. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I really fancy some of these as well!!! where do you get them from? ill be looking at getting them for my wedsport 13s.tom.Think camskills were the cheapest when i was looking around £80 a corner 195/50/15, i got mine on a set of nice lightweight wheels for £350 delivered (would have cost me £320 for just the tyres unfitted) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1991 starlet owner Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Definitely thinking about getting some R888's now!!! Looked on camskill and they're £81 a corner for my 14s!! I really don't think that's bad! Gonna try a set over the summer while the mrs is back from uni! I've always had cheap shitty tyres and want to try some good'uns for a change!Tom.
