Post by: slider955i on March 10, 2014, 11:16:18 am: need a new set of front tyres , think the remap is taking its toll lol

Post by: Marc-5-GTI on March 10, 2014, 08:20:11 pm: The F1's have great grip and wear well! only tyres I'd fit, though i haven't tried the michelins, but i've found that the F1's work so why change :laugh:

Post by: zayd on March 10, 2014, 09:07:32 pm: £119 for Michelins!

I fitted 4 Goodyear Eagle F1 Assy 2's for only £97 a corner.

Post by: Twiggy on March 11, 2014, 05:20:40 pm: Got Yokohama Advan AD08 on mine and they are very impressive indeed (just not in the frost or snow or standing water come to think about it).

Other than that they are great :happy2:

Post by: slider955i on March 14, 2014, 07:40:24 am: black circle are quite good for a fitted price £102 ea but fi autocentre where the cheapest at £92
i ended up paying £104 just because i wanted them now , f1 was a 60 mile round trip for me so decided against the cheaper option ,
these prices are for 225 45 17 goodyear f1 assy 2 xl

Post by: Twiggy on March 24, 2014, 04:47:45 pm: I normally buy from blackcircles but just got my summer tyres from camskill (camskill are a little cheaper) got to factor in fitting the tyres though. My local tyre fitter is £10 a corner.
