Recommended tyres

[loafer]

On my supra i've had;

Continental Sport Contacts - pretty good summer tyre not to good in the wet.

Goodyear Eagle F1's - Probably the best all round tyre I've had grip levels in the dry are on par with the sport contacts and I they seem to have better grip in the wet aswell.

Toyo T1-S (I think and not R) on my scooby.

Seconded. Just put a couple on the back of the Tubby. They grip in the wet like it's old tyres did in the dry (budget Nanakangs for you I guess!).

£68 per corner didn't seem too bad either, though judging from my Apexi purchase someone will be along any second now to tell me I've been ripped off!

Is this offer only open to Skyline owners??

I am now the owner of what I like to call a baby Skyline GTS-T. Does that count??

I have no idea what is currently on the back of mine, but I think they will need replacing fairly soon.

Sorry, edited to keep my post relevant to the thread.

I had a set of GY F1's on the Celica, and they gripped well, but I did find they wore out quite quickly. Due to the cars amazing thirst, I couldn't afford to replace them with anything decent, and ended up with Hankook Roadstars But they weren't that bad (in the dry)

In my Mini days, it was Yoko's all the way, A520's back then, I think they have been replaced by the A539. Only lasted 5-6k miles, but in that time most corners were taken on 2 wheels!!!
