I am doing to say the goodyears as I had them on Knottie 1 and they were great. Plus all the traffic cars at work have them on and those guys swear by them.. :thumbs up:

I'd avoid the Michelin's at all costs, had a few sets in the past on different cars & never liked any of them.

Why limit your choice to those brands?

Ive always found the michelins to last for a long time and provide excellent grip. Only thing wrong with them is that they are very expensive.

Would have to disagree with grip levels, especially poor in the wet, ok in the dry but nothing special - hence lasting a long time.

Good enough reason imo. GY excellence on missus car are great and wearing well.

I run pilots and i have full confidence in them :smilewinkgrin:

Michelins are the daddy, but they're usually the most expensive

I had Michelins on the last car, didn't like them in the wet either.

Currently run Bridgestone on the coupe, no complaints at all but they do seem to wear quickly when new and then settle down, so they burn through down to 5MM then seem to settle there for ages. Done about 20K on them and they are at 2MM on the front and 3MM on the back, which isn't bad. Pricey though.

hi i've decided to go for the eagle f1s as they were 30 quid cheaper and the tread pattern looks cooler aswel

I know what you mean, but looking cool doesn't help with corners :-) But that's why I had the pilots on the last car!

I don't know if they do run flats but best make of tyres I have run were bridgestones, can't remember what ones but they were about £100 a corner and were really good on wet and dry
