(T) New Alloys

just bought a set of 17" claws from ebay. the only half decent tyres i can get fitted locally at a reasonable price are goodyear eagle F1. does anyone have any experience of these on the stilo.

ps: stilo boy, there is now a set of 16" 6 spoke alloys and tyres that are 1 month old, sitting across the river from you. go on you know you want them.

Ah, they were in my watch list if I recall - nice choice of alloys

No idea about the F1s though, sorry.

Don't have any experience on a Stilo but had Goodyear Eagles on a Punto. They were a good tyre, quiet, grippy good in the wet. I will probably change to them when the dunlops on my Stilo are worn out

thanks SHC it was the quiet bit i was interested in as big tyres like that tend to kick up a bit of road noise.

The Goodyears were recommended to me, I was looking specifically for quiet tyres as the Punto had the worst road noise of any car I've ever had. They did the job very well.

I'm using Eagle Ventura's at the moment. As of yet I have never managed to slide them and the ABS has only activated once. In other words they stick like glue.

thx guys. one set of goodyear eagle F1`s now on order.

I planned on bidding on the Claws, but missed out 'cos i was working.

BUT..... send me a pic of your old wheels, condition and your proposed fee! windygates@tiscali.co.uk

i have emailed you the details stiloboy.

I ordered the stilo 17'' alloys as a factory option and they were all fitted with goodyear F1 eagles. I've run them on the car for over a year and had no problems. They also look quite sporting with there directional arrow shaped tread.
