Time for some new tyres... but which ones?
- Thread starter sfmk2.
- Start date
Good Year Eagle F1s are very good, as are the Conti Sport 5s, the Uniroyal Rainsport 3 is available at a very good price recently, but on a previous car and from other reviews that I have read, the common issue with them is that they dont last very long.
I previously had a set of Firestone SZ90s and have just got another set, I think for the money, they are excellent, with very good wear and grip in the wet and dry.

Just upgraded from Pirelli P Zero Rosso's to Continental Sport Contact 5's and I'm extremely impressed. I'll never go Pirelli again.
I have put a new set of continental contisport 5's on the car
I am so impressed with the grip! No wheel spinning even with so much torque! The car handles like its on rails. I have Remapped cr170 lowered on HNR 40mm springs with these tyres and I kid you not it corners precisely with no loss of power or grip whatsoever. A lot more confidence in the corners, roundabouts, bends, twisty roads
Well impressed and defo recommended by me
Not been out in the wet yet

I've just had these fitted 225/40/18 88 Y @ £114 a corner fitted
Transformed the handling, but then they would compared to the ditch finders they replaced.expensive really considering the F1 would have been £80-£90 a corner fitted .
Good year F1 where excellent on my old 130i but no comparison being RWD
Same goes for uniroyalrainsport 3's I had fitted to my R36 AWD, no sure I agree with them being soft and not lasting , they where good in the wet .
Super sports seem to be the flavor at the mo, so thought I'd see what all the fuss is about ......qui trackday at the end of the month
Just drove to work in the wet damp greasy roads
Stil able to out the power down
Very progressive and predictable and even in the wet could get the car up to speed again quickly without having to worry about lighting up the wheels
Update - The back are still like new, literally; they still have the coloured lines through them!
The fronts are totally gone though!! Bald after 10k.
Won't be getting Rainsport 3's again! Currently deciding which to go with next!
When I bought mine It had Dunlop Sportmax RT/TTs on. They were good but reviews suggest they don't last long so when I changed I put 4 Avon ZZ5s on. These wear very well (20k on the fronts) but are a little hard and crashy plus the rears became very noisy even though they were probably only half worn. Recently I changed again for 4 Goodyear Eagle F1 asim3s 225/40/18 for £93 a corner fitted. Much better ride. Only time will tell how they wear.
Recently bought a pair of Yokohama BluEarth-A AE50 for the front and these seem really good, £75 a tyre fitted i paid, Surprised nobody has suggested them tbh
Have a look at Dunlop SportMaxx rt2's replaced my Eagle F1's with them seem to grip better. Check out tyrereviews on the web.
