Title: Tyre choice..
Post by: admc6 on 07 October 2008, 12:39

Now i know this topic will have been round before, but hey ho.

I need to get myself 2 new front tyres and was wanting some advice on what to get. I currently have some toyo proxies on, which are great in the dry but not brilliant in the wet.

What have you all got? and opinions please

I am running fulda sempario's on the front and allthough they didnt get the best reviews on blackcircles.com they are much better in wet and feel better when dry than the federal I had before (which got a better rating too!!)

I have uniroyal rainsport all round... They do the job just fine in the dry and also in the wet! They were on the car when i bought it so not sure on the price but i dont think they are too bad!

I was going to drop to 195 profile to get Eagle F1's.  Lot cheaper than 205's too.

eagle f1's are good, but the uniroyal rainsports are damn good.

LL ;)

I'm sure i have the uniroyals on the back, but will have to check in morning, they seem good. Not heard of the fulda sempario's but will have a look into it.

Cheers for your opinions
