Post by: petesimcock on September 13, 2015, 09:38:48 pm: Goodyear eagle f1s are popular on here. I use them and they're great I just get through fronts a bit quick :/

I think they're about £81 a corner on camskill at the minute

Try tyreleader as well as camskill for good prices.

I bought the car with dunlops on but they are so noisey at low speed just wondered how the goodyears would compare.
Cheers.

Post by: pudding on September 14, 2015, 09:54:00 am: F1s on the car when I bought it. Had them before on other cars and they're not all that. Tramlining increases dramatically past half worn, which has always been an F1 trait. ContiSport 5 or Michelin SuperSports on next.

I've not had an issue with them when they are worn other than the noise increases slightly

Post by: PM30S on September 14, 2015, 02:49:09 pm: Tyres are really down to personal preference.
I have had some very powerful cars in the past and have tried all the major players Michelin Pirelli Continental Yokohama Goodyear.
From what I have gathered most of my cars have felt like they have had more stability and control with Michelins fitted.
Have pilot sport 3's on my stage 2+ eddy.
Have had prior cars with 6 to 700bhp.
It's basically how you drive as any tyre will loose grip with these figures.
Golf drives spot on with 400lbsft of torque on the pilots.
