Goodyear eagle F1 Assymetrics seem to be widely regarded as the best by most on here, as far as price i've no idea! :wink:

Should get a good discount buying 18 tyres  :grin:

On a more serious note i use to use the Goodyears but the last 2 sets i have bought the Yokohamas,
I find they have Great stability, Quite, very grippy and very good even in the wet conditions,

You may want to think about some winter rubber tho for this time of year  :smiley:

I can't afford 2 sets of tyres. I am looking for a set of all year tyres

I've been offered Monza shadows with good tyres. My only issue is how do you tell that the monzas are genuine from a pictures ?

Great website, lots of really helpful reviews. Scroll to bottom to see the 'top 10', GY Eagle F1s number 2  :whistle:

http://www.blackcircles.com/order/tyres/search - This place has some good deal IMO. Crazy amounts of clubcard points to be had also on some deals  :nerd: AND you can pay monthly if you wish to... :smiley:
