Tyres help

Ok, so they are not the "be all and end all F1's" that you rant about, but michaelin make excellent tyres for all weather conditions and always have done. There is no denying that, and they make some of the best tyres in the market for all types of cars and all applications be it shopping cart or performance sports.

Which is why they came... last in the last Autocar preformance tyre test. Yes, last. Bottom. Not my opinion, not their opinion, fact as a result of proper testing under lab conditions - the best thing you can get to an impartial view on tyre performance. It was last in almost every single wet performance test. I take this sort of information over and above some chap on a forum with a VAG diesel who thinks they are awesome. Of course you think they are awesome, you spent what, 400 quid on them, you are hardly likley to then say you wasted your money.

Good luck next time you brake on the wet btw, where your lovely PS2's take nearly 65 metres to stop from 70mph, well over 10 metres more than Eagle F1's and 7 metres more than Bridgestone Potenzas...

...But of course fox, unless its your favoured product it doesnt get a look in really, tyres must be Goodyear F1's cars must be either a mondeo or a bmw, get a bit boring after a while, and very predictable. :rolleyes:

Not half as predictable as irrelevent tirades from yourself, lets bring Mondeos into a totally irrelevent thread, how totally boring.

Thanks
Im probably gonna give some Falkens a go, I just cant justify the £ on F1's or Proxies or some funky Yokohamas Ive seen
Good choice imo. I can only compare them to the Dunlop SP Sport 3000's I had before (which at the time I thought were great) but they seem to be very grippy yet still have a treadware of 3xx which I don't get, still I'm not complaining :p Its been wet more than it has dry since I got them and they are VERY sure footed even on roads with visible standing water. Considering the price (comparable to many budget non brands) I can't fault them. Infact forget the price I can't fault them non stop.
