they are good but wear out silly fast.
my mate got 2 on his diesel corsa and they were nearly bald after 3 motnhs and 4kmiles

iv got kumha ecsta spt on mine on the front cant fault them at all in dry or wet :y:

[stevosvts]

Dunlop fast response they where £50 each and they stick like glue in the wet. Seem to have lasted ages aswell.

[blackvtrt]

i've ran most tyres and toyo's are good but eagle f1's are better and worth the extra money

[L20VTS]

I have eagle f1's and they are ace!

Thats what I've got on the front aswell, the Kumho Ecsta SPT KU31's, pretty good grip wet and dry.

[tomgarrett]

how much do eagle f1s cost??

[jimbo06]

Yoko a539's are discontinued iirc but i thought they were good whe i had them, yoko S drives are spot on for the money imo aswel

[Fulch]

Yokohama A539
Well worth the notes

+1 on that :y:

[Mark_Prydderch]

my friend bought a539's for his vtr last month? have they only just discontinued them?

[Vtr_Alex]

thanks people i think im gona get the proxes. thanks for your help :-)

[DanT]

Proxes ftw however i have heard ALOT of good stuff before about the F1's

[DAN-VTS]

proxes are slightly better in the wet than the F1s both still very good tyres

yoko tyres are pants in the wet

[JamesR]

Total n00b when it comes to tires, but dont all these semi slick tires or proxes or R888 dont they wear out quicker? or become illegal quicker?

Am guessing not but am a unsure.

Yeah, you're pretty much sacrificing wear for grip

[dinga]

r888 are track tyres.f1/toyo t1r are very good road tyres,softer rubber wears quicker but gives much better grip wet,dry and inbetween.a small price to pay imo.

[RichM]

Toyo R888 are track tyres but are also road legal.

[dinga]

yes they are,but youd have to be crazy to use them day in day out !

[RichM]

Yeah, true!

[JamesR]

Rich, you got a progress thread mate? the car looks nice from your sig.

[RichM]

Cheers mate. Nah ain't made one, can't be bothered and its only a few mods done to it like lowered, sub & amp, induction, tinted windows and vts gearbox lol.

Still worth a progress thread mate, and you can just add to it, and put the link in your signature :y:

Should make one. :y:

[jVaTyR]

do the yoko or Toyo's Fit on The VTR ALLOY 14 " .. 185 - 55 ? . . . . .

[MiniGibbo]

Yoko's or toyo 888's seem to be the best for dry track days.
Goodyear eagle f1 asometrics (sp) are the best for road and wet tracks.
Michlin Ps's and conti' sports are next best things on the road/track to the asometrics.
Goodyear eagle f1 gsd3's are the next best thing and what i have all round after the above.


For a saxo id recomend toyo t1r's not as good as the others but are good enough for a saxo buy miles and should see good wear.
