What Tyre and pressures!

[baggiemad]

My 2 front Pirelli p6000 's are coming to the end of their life now, they have been a very very good tyre and lasted me 28000 miles! just wondering what to fit next and like the durability of these but they not so good in the wet, maybe goodyear eagle f1's and  i can get  Avon ZV1's fairly cheaply too or maybe get some more Pirelli's?

any thoughts?

plus what are best tyre pressures for 195/50/vr15 on my BBS RA's?

thanks for your thoughts

Toyo T1R's? 

Dude, sort out your sig. It's too large with too many pics.

Goodyear Eagle F1's, end of story 

[baggiemad]

sig sorted, thanks

Eagle F1's very popular it seems but what mileage can i expect? i'm not a boy racer and rarely rag the tyres!

any thoughts on tyre pressures, as info label on door panel only gives pressures  for 185/55/15 which were OE tyres..

Not sure about the pressures mate, but I can tell you from experiance that you'll get loads of miles from F1's ! I've had Pirelli's, Toyos, Avons, Firestones, Uniroyal's and Yokahama's. Avons wear very well and Toyo's and Yoko's give good grip but not one of them was close to being as good all round as the F1's, I cant recommend them enough

ive got P6000 all round and i use and abuse my tyres, yet they show no wear! as you said not very good grip in the wet, but awesome in the dry. Next set of tyres im gonna try are uniroyal rainsports, i heard in the wet they grip better than in the dry, and with the UK weather, i think a wet tyre is the sensible choice.
Although F1's are in the debate too.

p6000s are, without a doubt, the worst tyre i've ever had the misfortune of having.

if you don't "rag the tyres" what's the point in getting good ones?

erm, cos you dont need to be RAGGING it to need good tyres, 

i got p6000s on mine and they have let go many a time in the wet without ragging it 

never again will i get them, 

good tyres come in handy in NON ragging it situations too 

mates MkII came on nangkegs or summat like that, jesus, even in the dry they were crap, emergency stop killed on of them

erm, cos you dont need to be RAGGING it to need good tyres, 

when driving at normal road speeds, its impossible to tell the difference between brand A and brand B of tyres.
