I brought my car with Eagle F1's on it and when I had to get two more I stuck with em. Now I need to replace two more so again I've requested they get Eagle F1's in as they don't usually stock that kind of tire here on Waiheke Island... Oh and I have the China made ones and they are still great, give excellent road handling and I can throw my car around corners wet or dry and it just sticks! When I had to get two new tires for my WOF over a year ago I moved the two from the rear to the front and put the new ones on the rear and got over two years of driving out of them. Just gotta keep the tire pressure up and treat them nicely to ensure you get your money's worth at the end of the day. |

I have GT Radials on mine aswell. I used to have Kingstars ( they were new on the car when I bought it ) and I would NEVER use them again! You go to accelerate out of corner and they ass end of the car was all over the show! It was like I didnt have the traction control on. The chick reckoned she spent $800 on them. My GT Radials cost me $660 for 4 new and I havent had any problems. My money is on Toyo tho! Just couldnt afford to buy them at the time

Mine came with Pirelli P7000 on the front & Kumho Ecsta Supra 712 on the rear. The Kumho's are fun in the wet but don't give you a lot of confidence at open roads speeds when you hit a twisty section & its raining. Bang for buck they're not bad especially if you're on a budget. I'd take them over any of the cheap Chinese rubbish like triangle & linglong etc. Hyper has them for $139 in our OE size. I will need new tyres for my next WOF. I'm looking at Dunlop Sport Maxx as I can get them cheap through work. *EDIT* I ended up getting Bridgestone Potenza RE001. They're awesome value for money. I take back what I said about the Kumho's being alright tyres. They're rubbish in comparison. |

i must say after a bad near crash expiriencewith my old GT Radials and some other rando firestone tyres my investment of $800 into 4 new tyres paid off. it was a toss up between the goodyear eagle f1's and toyo t1r's after searching around and finding out that most of the eagle f1's nowadays are made in china and no longer germany i decided to jump @ a special price hyper.co.nz had and got the t1r's and man what a difference they made. i will be buying nothing more in the future they're superb in the dry , give a fair amount of feedback and whine before they let go and when they do its controlable. in the wet they are something else. id be willing to say they're just as good in the wet as they are in the dry. for the first 6ish months going round roundabouts in the wet they just wuldnt let go ! not even a budge which was amazing to me. i just feel a lot more secure knowing i have good rubber which wont suddenly let go and spin me out of control when they're at the limit and are quiet and comfortable on the daily commutes

yea I have just replaced my two fronts with toyos (long story, had to get rid of two tyres that both had enough tread to last me a lifetime :angry:) , seem to be much nicer than the nankangs!! Haven't got to drive in the wet yet though, that will be the big test for me. They were expensive but I don't mind paying money for decent tyres because they really do make such a difference! |

id say try the toyo t1r's or the dunlop direzza's ive heard nothing but good things about both / had expirience with the toyos and they're resonably priced for what you get my next set might just be the direzza's or my trusty toyo's !
