Tyres
 

after looking at my rear tyres earlier, i need 2 new ones, they are Eagle F1 GS-D2 one is starting to split on the inside wall, and the other has 2 small bulges.

what are the best in your opinion for the s12,

the AVON ZZ3 205/45/16 look nice. can get them for 62.50 each.

Toyo proxes are my favourate. There not that expensive.. Have you looked on that my-tyres site in links section?

The size your after would be the same as that i would go for

yeah i been on that site, tis where i found the AVONs, thats the size that i have atm, and seem to make the speedo about std. so i shall keep it.

you say toyo's, i always thought they were a cheap make, do they grip good in wet and dry???

toyo proxes t1-s's are awesome in the wet and dry for a road legal tyre. They have won many tests done by mags etc.Im sure a lot of other people would rate them well too. Ive never tried the tyres your looking at but i dont think i will ever get round to it as im so happy with mine.

maybe google search a review on them mate. see if you can find anything more detailed on them rather than my babble lol

it looks like the t1-s is now discontinued. but they have the t1-r that seems to be out performng the t1-s, getting 5/5 on most sites for wet and dry. £58.20 delivered from your site.

**on this site, they review them, and someone also said the t1-r is the uber version of the t1-s.

i think thats the tyre for me, ive heard a lot of bad things bout the eagles on this and the sx forum, shredding the inside wall.

i think i have two t1-s tyres and 2 t1-r's. Didnt really notice any difference between the two. Go for it.:)

Consider Falken 452 s mate. I ran toyo t1 s and r's on my subaru and due to silica compound awesome in wet and dry alike. Now i run falken 452 s as slightly cheaper but still silica compound last longer and excellent grip. Mailorder best my tyres as stated in previous thread.

i have now ordered the toyo proxes T1-r, the falkens wernt available in the size i wanted.

how long do they normally take to be delivered??? also, is it normal for them to phone you to double check the delivery address???

Cheers.

they arrived today, great service. well recommended.
