-Goodyear Eagle F1s around ?60 a tyre

-Dunlop SP9000 around ?70 a tyre

Whats peoples opinions?

how about getting them 195/50/15 then get some toyo proxes from mytyres.co.uk for ?31 each

[richard ellison]

because the only profile that will look lush is 195/45 supposidly... just going off advice ive been given...

i found a place called 'johnsons tyres online' which are pretty cheap.

mytyres.net is still by far the cheapest tho.

Still dont know whether its worth paing the extra for the top set of SPs.

Ive heard the TOYOs are very good, however wear quite quickly...

Toyos are quality tyres offering IMO excellent wet and dry handling for a reasonable price and they dont wear that quickly (depends how you drive). I can average about 15K on my Toyos 205/50/15 in a mixture of driving.

toyos are good.

only reservation is I got through a set pretty quickly on the front of my 16v, and when they go bald, they are sh!te really quickly.

for a cheap tyre they are the bollocks though
