Spec me some front boots

Need 2 new fronts on the Leon (150 tdi) currently running Falken 452's which i have found great but they seem to be around £100 a corner now and there are a lot of tyres at that price, how are the Toyo Proxes T1? Size is 225 45 17. The Falkens have lasted about a year and done around 11k and i dont drive that hard the car just munches them so i dont want anything mega soft thats is goign to be bald in 24 hours

Originally had Pirelli P6000's on which i found dire.

Goodyear Eagle F1's

or Assymetrics if you can't find them.

Had a few sets on my leon and they're fantastic, think mine were £370 fitted in April (for 4)

Seconded - F1s work very well on my vRS.

/Awaits sidewalls of cheese comments.

Yes F1's are good but don't wear very well, get some Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta's if they do them in that size.

I have some of these on my LCR! They are brilliant

Got 4 of them fitted etc for £413. Which are 225/40/18. So a little bigger!

Sessanter ultracs all the way, they are phenominal tyres on my st3

i run conti sportcontact 3s and i think they're fantastic. they offer ridiculous amounts of grip in both wet and dry. whether they're worth the extra over the F1s is another matter though. but having never run F1s, i can't comment

I loved my proxies, altough got falken 452's now and would say they are very very simliar. With the proxies being slightly better in the wet. When it comes to new tyres proxies are going back on though for the extra £10 a corner.
