getting ready for new tryes on the front of my 3r,had a look through previous posts on tryes and from what i can make of it f1 assemetrics seem to be the favourite?
any advice much appreciated

its a daily driver so have to be good in the wet too,also not too bothered about how fast they wear,rather have the grip!it currently has bridgestone S03s on which seem to take for ever to get any heat in.

thanks in advance syd

yep -can certainly vouch for the Eagle F1s. Using them as a winter tyre on my M400 and am very pleased. Ride comfort better than Corsa', less road noise and much more grip in the cold and wet.

Running Toyo Proxes T1-Rs on mine at the moment.
Did a trackday at Bedford in November and it was raining practically all day, lots of standing water etc..
The grip was unbelievable compared to the S0-3s!! smile

I have a set of Toyo's too

can't really give you any feedback on them as I have not driven it in anger yet with them fitted

however I did notice an immediate improvement in turn in when first fitted

Certainly the Toyo T1-R's, Eagle F1 GSD3'S are a good option for all round all weather performance, and especially the t1-rs are very sticky during both wet and dry wink
What is your tyre size and i can see what i have available and i can send you some quotations

From experience be careful with the T1R's as the side walls dont like being loaded up and that was at 30 psi so not sure what to expect at 18 psi on the front eek
I personally would go for the F1's as I've used them too and they offer much better all round performance IMO.
