toyo proxes TR1
or
goodyear GSD3

Toyos but then im biased 8-|

I would go for Toyos TBH. Just for the name.

goodyear for all round. best grip out of all tyres i've used. the toyos are good, done about 20k miles with different cars with them and not had any problems at all. had them on the fiesta.

toyo's would be cheaper. http://www.mytyres.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; http://www.blackcircles.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. check those suppliers who can deliver and get them ordered and fitted at your local tyre place. blackcircles also have fitting places.

or go to your local one and see how much they can do them for, might get a deal!

ive had my toyos for a while now and no excessive wear and good grip in all weathers. teh tr1s i have are quite low profile so road noise is more but who complains about that haha.

 

[Skinny]

cant here it when the systems up anyway

raod noise has alot to do with the condition of the roads you are on also. WIth my old Potz, a stretch of road between 2 local towns was deafening, however on a `new posh road` the car was almost silent. My Yoko`s are much quieter though, softer compound

 

[Jugga]

my ek has always had a small amount of road noise, especially up here in midlands, back home roads are so much nicer.
its the grip i notice the most, i just need to stiffen up chassis/sus to use all of grip

 

[Alec]

A newly laid road is one of the greatest things in driving 8-|

 

[Jugga]

fresh tarmac is goood especially in summer evenings, warm and grippy

 

[paul20v]

out of them , goodyears price does not come into it with tyres for me its your first point of contact and your most important with the black stuff
but overall ultimate tyres for me track and road were and are bridgestone potenza,s now thats a proper tyre ..

 

[nickyboy]

i had bridgestone potenzas on my car, now i have yoko paradas on, which are much grippier, and quieter, and alot cheaper

 

[paul20v]

its all down to personal choice at the end of the day they are exspensive but i had them on a flame spitting UR quattro and they were fantastic grip and noise level not that it was a quiet car mind you..

 

[nickyboy]

^^ fantastic car

 

[Alec]

Yeah that things rocks <3

 

[A2SSM]

I've had the goodyear eagle f1 and the toyo proxes t1r ( i think) are cheaper and I have read plenty of good reviews about them. So I would go with them cos they are better value for money IMO.

 

[paul20v]

has anyone tryed toyo proxes R888 , i fancy giving a set a whirl.

 

[nickyboy]

Haven`t myself but heard they are very grippy, great for track days. Soft as shite in other words :v

 

[paul20v]

my mate has a set on his beach buggy because it was so light on the front it understeered like a pig and they sorted that ,but its not exactly a real life car as such .

 

[stug45]

used some semi slicks like the r888's (cant remember if they were them or not) on a test drive in a stage 1 impreza sti and gunned it from the lights dumping the clutch and it just went!!! no spinning or squeal whatsover. it was dry and sunny too! cant think that i now really want 4wd as my next car!!! only vtec 4wd i've seen is the honda legend! awwwww!
