Another what tyre thread...

[Ev0]

I need to replace the tyres on my Impreza WRX and think I've narrowed it down to either the Contisport Contact 3 or the F1 Asymmetric.

The car currently has F1 GSD3s on it, they've lasted pretty well (from what I hear about the wear rate normally!) but road noise is shocking with them.

So out of my 2 choices which would you go for and why?

Or are they much of a muchness and I should just go for whichever out of the 2 I can get cheapest?

The size is 215/45/17.

Forgot to say, 90% of my driving is just trawling up and down a dual carriageway.

Yeah price difference isn't much, £172 for the F1s or £180 for the Contis, then take them somewhere for fitting.

That per tyre?

I've just ordered 4 new SC'3 for my car, to be fitted on Wednesday.

Ev0 are these online prices? They seem extortionate.

Use your noggins, for the pair of course

Those prices were supply only, had a quote from a local tyre place of £190 for 2 fitted so will likely be going with them, that's for the Goodyears.

Hope the road noise is a little better than the previous F1s currently on it!
