Proxies or Eagle F1s?

[Mysticp]

I know this seems to be asked all to often so im sorry for re-asking... again

I need 4 new tyres for my S and cant make my mind up between proxies or Eagle F1s, I have never tried either but i know proxies are quite a common choice on here.

Regardless of the costs of each. On a performance basis, which would you choose/recommend?

Im open to other suggestions too.

eagles for me

I had proxes and they are awesome, really good in the dry and the wet.

Yoko A539s are good.

[VTS123]

Michelin Exaltos for me. The last pair of fronts on my VTS lasted 33k! They're not cheap initially but work out a lot cheaper in the long run.

yea' i might be looking at buying a pair of A539s, can get them delivered to me for like 40 odd quid each

had a539s and found them a good tyre, replaced them with eagles which were brilliant. Once these pzero nero things on the ibiza are worn down ill be going back to eagles if they are still about then

[Japman]

Ive got yokos,they are good tyres but dont last that long

[Karl]

everyone says that Toyos wear out in a week :/

[CampDavid]

Having run both (and most other decent brand tyres) I'd go with the Eagles, without any hesitation what so ever

Cheers for the input so far guys, some people have commented & not voted though tisk tisk.

I'v heard good things about the Yokos too but i was more swayed by Proxies or F1s, quite a few people have said that the proxies wear a bit too quickly so i was leaning towards F1's (on recommendation from a mate).

I'll see what the poll looks like in a few days time, i was expecting to see a clear favourite although i suspect this might not happen now

I am using Yokohama AVS sport. I can say they are very good and perfect price. I am considering on slicks for my drag days

[nassso]

I am going for Yokohama Parada as my next tyres.They are amazing. http://www.yokohamatire.com/TireIntro.asp?TireID=17

[CampDavid]

Pradas are lovely looking but need gay 16" or above wheels.

I think Eagles wear faster than Proxies personally. But they are loads better

I heard Illegal F1s arent anything special til they warm up?

[knoxy_05]

id never buy a yoko tyre agen there are shit imo they wear far to quick

IMO that's bollocks, the danger with F1s is that they overheat, they're bang on from cold. not ideal on track but E-mence on the road

I have had....
-Stunner emm never agian

-Nankang hmmm just NO!!

-Michelins were quite good long lasting

-Falkens which were poor!!

-Yoko a539 never really impressed me, didnt stand out as a great tyre

-Eagle F1 a good tyre in dry and wet, dont wear to quickly and nice tread pattern, similar performance to the Toyos

-Toyo T1s&T1r very good tyres! exceptional in dry and compared to the other tyres the best in the wet, great looking tread pattern, great value.. the only downside to the Toyos is that they dont last long especially in the summer months when they really heat up and get super sticky!! I had a set on my Fiesta RST and the front T1s's 195/45/15 lasted me JUST over a month during the summer!!! But thats not because i was driving like an OAP!!!

Personally i wont buy anything else now. Im always willing to try others but i always go back to the Toyos!!! Toyos are very well priced to!! They are superdooperlushishness!!!

I fancy a set of the Toyo R888's for the summer...they should be ubersuperstickywikcymuchfunness!!!!

TOYO'S!!!
