I got 12k out the goodyears and about 10k from the falkens which isn't enough when am doing 30k+++ a year or a grand + a year on tyres  :sick:
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

Are these the Goodyear Assymetrics or the earlier version F1 version?
Without traction power is nothing!

050's 12,000 miles on front.
Not bad after some very hard 120 mph over the mountain runs.

050's replaced with F1's.
F1's no better than 050's when warm, F1's worse (traction) than 050's when cold.



you drive like a granny on brown anyway so does it really matter

What's your best time around the Nurburgring?

(Or over the mountain on the Isle of Man?)


ooh becuase they must be the only two places you can drive fast! :rolleyes:

Yoko S306s on mine. Great grip so far, not too sure what they will be like for grip, but feels so much better than the P7000 that had on before and they were cheep like the budgie from blackcircles

Just been offered 4 Michelin Pilot Sport 2's for £473 fitted. Which I thought was amazing, if not a mistake!

Think I'll be plumping for those, remember T_T being on here a while back and having very good things to say about the PS2's.
