Falken ze912 or Toyo CF1 for 185/55/14

Now wanting some good performance tyres for my VTR alloys. On the road I drive smoothly, but I also drive on the track, so I'm wanting a tyre that is good for both at a good price.

Any inputs of what to get?

Cheers

CF1s get my vote underated tyre, guess probably because of its looks

[harry289]

Yeah couldn't fault them on my last vtr :) I'l go for them then.

And what do you mean looks? They look awful in the pictures but when they're on the wheel they look good in my opinion :)

Just couse alot of people seem to go for how they look lol, theyre an asymmetric tyre rather than directional. People seem to buy a tyre because of its V shape look.

Oh right, thanks for letting us know.

Some people like ones that look nice too :S

ive never took notice tbh so whats the difference between having a v pattern to not, grip? genuine question

[Mochachino]

They look different. Ask someone that buys a tyre by how they look and they will tell you why, as I dont have a clue!

I use the ZE912s on the road and find them a pretty good tyre. The only thing i've noticed is they tramline a bit more than the Michelin PE2s I had on before. Apart from that, no grumbles from me. My mate ron used to use them on track IIRC and didn't have any problems.

Yeah its hard buying tyres for VTR sizes. Would love some A048's but they are £400 a set!

Just want a tyre that will keep me pretty stable on track to cope with my chassis set up and brakes.

CF1s all the way!! i have them as road tyres on my vts plenty of grip even in the wet :)

[harry289]

Yep getting them on tomorrow :) had them before and I couldn't fault them just my chassis set up is a lot firmer now
