**Unofficial Tyre Thread**

[rossk26]

The amount of tyre requests/questions we get on here I thought I would put together an unofficial tyre thread to reduce the amount of new threads that arise.

So I'm after 2 new front tyres in 225/40/18, and I want Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 - (225/40 R18 92Y XL). Cheapest I have found so far is Camskill and Lovetyres @ £210.98 delivered. Can anyone find a cheaper price?

Its simple buy what will fit your car in this order for a road car thats driven in a sporty manner with maybe the odd trackday:-

1. Michelin SuperSport
2. Goodyear Eage F1 Asymmetric 2 / ContiSport 5
3. Pirelli Pzero / Bridgestone RE050A

If its just a road car driven around town, aim for best braking tyres so:-
1. Conti CS3 / CS5
2. Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2
3. Michelin SuportSport

If your driving like a hoon everywhere and doing a lot of track work but its also your road car:-

1. Yokohama AD08's
2. Michelin SuperSports
3. R888's

Thread over.

That's a very good guide! But I was more after trying to have someone beat the price I found

Gibbo you missed out Bridgestone Potenza RE70

 

[mrk]

Where are the Sessanta tyres!

 

[bledd]

No one has made it back alive to comment

Camskill it is! £10 fuel voucher for buying 2 tyres, that'll do me.

An AD08 competitor for sure, but I think its only available in very limited sizes as it was a Subaru o.e. tyre.

Having had both I would not be ranking CS3 above F1A2.

Good information to be had, tried the newer CS5 yet Fox?

What about the CS5? Can get them for roughly £10 cheaper than the F1A2's, however it comes out equal as with the F1A2's they are giving £10 fuel voucher...

Time for bigger wheels or a new car then.

Conti refuse to produce them in my rear size so no

 

[Firestar_3x]

They are excellent, however it would be hard to pick between the CS5 and F1A2's.
