Anyone used these and if so what are the results.

I`m wonder if they come wider which would work well for me because the only suitable sizes are .

205/50/16 and 235/45/17

Are they noisy for road use .

I find them ok but if i am honest wish i had spent another couple of hundred quid on 888's.

I have 215/40/ZR17 front and 265/35/ZR18 rear. Again i should have not got greedy and just bought the 255's but wanted the bragging rights rolleyes

i have them 255/17 rears and 235 17 fronts

they handle the Ls power quite nicely,

very good in the wet too, which is one of the main reasons i chose them over the 888 which are less wet weather happy.

I think they are a good all round tyre, if like me you undertake longer road trips where driving for long distances in the rain is inevitable on occasions......

Love mine, provide plenty of grip and very easy going when it comes to stepping out, which is bloody hard to do on track! But doesn't snap round like some performance tyres can. Just need some on the front as the eagle f1s just can't compare

Same. I went for them due to the "death trap" tendencies of 888's if you get caught in the rain. Mine have been on 3 months or so and i'm getting rid of them. Don't like them at all...

Any modification needed for the 255`s ? do they come wider than standard tyres.

I was hoping 235 and 205 would be wide enough ,I know Qbees 235 R888`s catch the rear arch .
