good year eagle F1 vs Toyo Proxy t1's

[Allan wall]

hmm, which tyres to get, all my tyres are getting a bit bald, i have always thought Goodyears were the best, and my brother swears by them. But everyone seems to rate the Toyo's any thoughts?


i now this has been asked loadsa time, but cant be bothered to look back! hehe

What is your budget?

Give the guys at Southam tyres a ring and ask their advice and charges. They are part of the Micheldever tyre group 01926 813888.

I use Eagle F1 on the front and NCT5 on the rear - but the HGT still goes straight on at corners! I am going to go for Conti's next on the rear them and some soft Bridgestones on the front.

Re: What is your budget?

im using f1's and i love em! those toyo's look pretty good but no idea about performance!

goodyear are replacing the f1's

read a review in a magazine the other day of goodyears replacement for the f1 and they gave them 10/10. Said they were quite possibly the best road tyre yet! pricey though!

OVERSTEER!

How the hell did you get your car to oversteer? The bloody bravo understeers sooo badly to almost have the handling of an supertanker!

Re: OVERSTEER!

mine doesnt understeer too badly normally, but when it does at a certain point if i just lift off the throttle the back end will start to go, i read it in a Topgear mag once i think and they called it 'lift off oversteer'

i do have uprated Dampers set quite hard, but not OTT hard,
