Should I swap my tyres?

[l6rth]

Should I swap my good years eable f1's nearly new for some toyo t1r's? The f1's came with the car but I'm thinking if this car is a keeper that I should change them so I get the best from it sooner. As the f1's are nearly new and the few miles I do a years it's going to take along time before I change them but are the Toyo's that much better? I know the eagle f1's were they tyre of choice years ago.

Nothing cheap in those sizes .

Thanks for looking,I think I can get a set for around £350 plus fitting but are the t1r's much better than the eagle f1's? I only drive it in the dry.

I don't think they are a bad tyre. Unless you're unhappy with them or they are old (check the manufacturer date on them) I would leave them on the car. Get it on a track and wear them out there.

It's not that they are bad or that I'm unhappy with they but I haven't drive one on toyo's and wondering if there was a huge difference and if there is I could sell the f1's while they are still good therefore not costing me that much. But if the difference is only marginal then I wouldn't bother.
