Or shall i be American i call them tires! :insanity:

Anyway looking for some 15" (

) tyres, which do i choose

Eagle F1's - ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£212.80 posted off mytyres.co.uk
Yoko A539 - ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£175 posted off egay
or
Toyo T1R's - ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£194.00 posted off egay

All are 195/45/15's

Want a fairly Tufty tyre (i imagine with the Charger she'll be spinning a fair bit :insanity:

) but with Good grip in wet and dry. It will be used on track aswell so i don't want to have to fork out 200 notes everytime, as the tyres are far to soft and worn away. :rolleyes:

I have had good experience's with Toyo's, heard good things about the F1's and ive seen alot of people with the yoko's and Moe's uncles team use's them i believe.

I want your opinions.

Ive got toyo T1R's at the mo and they are great, feel dodgey for the
first 500 miles though i will say but after that they are brill.

I wouldn't get t1s's though as their not quite as good ive heard.

Eagle f1's are also brilliant wet and dry.

I wouldn't bother with the yoko's tho if you want wet and dry tyres
as they are only good in the dry IMO.

hope this helps

Agree with Emlyn there!

Had A539's on the Fiesta, and could not get any grip in the wet - they were absolute cack. Then went for Proxies on the other 2 wheels and stuck them on the front, and they were awesome! Could tell instantly the difference! VERY good in the wet, and you can get them for a damn good price compared to the other quality tyres

Disclaimer: My experiences with A539's were exactly that - experiences. Personal ones at that. So if you disagree with me - tough fooking sh!t - that's what I think of them! IMO.
