goodyear f1 assymetric
« on: 08 August 2009, 13:23 »
just got four new F1 tyres on my edition 30, have read all the posts about how bad the dunlpp sport maxx are and now realise what a crap tyre is was.
first impressions are much quieter, steering more direct and drove home last night where I floor it in a fast bend, the dunlops would scrabble and loose grip with the traction control comming on. The goodyears didnt loose grip and no traction control.
Best £420 ive spent

Dont forget to give them a couple of hundred miles to wear in :wink:

That is really cheap though... I paid £520 fitted and thought that was a decent price. Might want to check to make sure you got good stock too.

Yes, there are plenty of pretty convincing copies of these tyres coming in from China - buyer beware!
