[corsa]

OK, its been a while since i needed new tyres and now i need 4.

Hawkeye STI,occasional use at weekends and some B road fun, no track days etc so good all rounder required wet and dry.

Dont like the REO70s so what do you all think?

I priced up Goodyear Eagle F1s which i had two on the front and were superb sogetting 4 x 225 x 45 x 17s cheapest i got S/F was £490.00

See what acetingtong can do as always good to keep money in the club where possible

I see Camskill have no stock of F1 GSD3's but another tyre on par is the Toyo T1R which can be had for £70 quid each from them http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php?plid=m54b0s16p1697 I have had these fitted and did't notice any difference from the goodyears

I can also recomend the verdaerdasteinan (ok I will just copy and paste) VREDESTEIN ULTRAC SESSANTA (caps because that is what I copied) very good in the wet but need to run a wee bit higher tyre pressures with them. Very good in the wet and still below your quote even when you factor in fitting http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php?plid=m54b0s16p12403

I have a set of these on the bug (not RIGHT now cause I have the winter tyres on) and they are awesome, they are quite a heavy tyre however and yes run em a bit harder. Awesome in the corners and really good in the wet. Yet to track them but so far they are performing on par with the F1's (Eagle that is)

I have these on and can't fault them.

Graeme,

Please excuse my ignorance if I should know but I'd be interested in your thoughts behind on running at higher pressures as I've got them at stock just now.

Cheers, Pete

Hi Davie

Always had the goodyear eagles, last ones i had were the GSD3s but had to remove and replace as all had split across the width of the tyre, very scary with the speed and pressure they take.

Why dont you try the Goodyear Assymetricals? i have them on the Bmw now and really like them, no probs in the snow either over the crimbo period, From mine they are £200 a corner though.

OOh and while i am talking about that cheers for waving back ya ignorant git, you was coming past the Louon academy just about to hit the A71 at Galston, it was during the holidays, didnt think you would reconise the BMW and me driving it.

Cheers Dougie
