new tyres

[G19RNT]

am way to take my 17s off for the winter and am gna b replacing the tyres with something a bit grippier was thinking of either toyo proxes uniroyal rainsports or yokohama paradas but thought i would ask for some advice first which tyre do you think would b best?

Start by bining the Prada's:eek:

[G19RNT]

take it there not very good then the 1s i have atm are budget tyres that came with the wheels and they really are useless in the wet and are really noisy

[Craig]

the paradas will be even worse in the wet... just ask Nenah or MarkyC.. ;)

I have had the Proxes on my 18"s and have no complaints:)

Toyo Proxies all the way, i've had Parada's before, worse than ruflats :eek:

Gaj likes the Eagles, i think :)

Eagle F1's just won the tyre of the year thing on evo Magazine... So I think they would be worth the extra.

[Craig]

apart from my experience Fergus where all 4 eagle f1's delaminated (which if you don't know means the tyre was basically peeling apart)...:eek:


they do use them on all the fast cars at my work and they swear by them.. ;)

Had eagles on my Mini and loved them to bits, such a good tyre.

Would have put them on the RX8 had it not been for the Bridgestone RE-01R's tempting me away :p they wear pretty quick to eagles will be next :p LOL!

My personal choice is generally Michelin Pilot Sports.... partially as they last for ages....
