tyre time....

[Aimez]

I have F1 they are great but the only place I get them under the price you said is camskill.co.uk (delivered not fitted I need thou as was gettign them fitted when my wheels done) for £100. They seem to be being replaced my a new Goodyear tyre now so not easy to find in a n emergency which people tend to forget about!
Not even listed on some trye websites. When mine are worn I will get Toyos as they are everywhere and the next best thing and easier tog et one quick.
By the way I didn't recommend 215 (thou I'm sure there is nothing wrong), I have 205 40 17 as that is all that will not scrub on the ibizas 17 on full lock apparently.

ok cheers!

I cant seem to get F1 GSD3 for very cheap at all, and no where near me does them in 205/40/17, except for one place thats wants about 150 a corner, for that price i can get both fronts done with toyo T1-r's. Think im gonna suck it and see with them

My car has done about 11k with P-Zero's they have been ok. just want something that will last longer!

I use to get around 10k out of toyos on the front of my Corrado but went way past that with a set on the front of my Lupo. Guess it just depends how they are driven.

I Have used both toyo and F1s and the are both good but the f1s edge it for lasting that bit longer.

A friend of mine has a set all round on his Volvo and managed... an amount he will confirm in a bit...

 

[knight85]

cheers, i dont drive particularly hard or fast. I do about 50 miles a day to and from work, so they get regular usage.

For the price i can get the T1's i think its worth it.

i doubt that going up to 215/40 will scrub as the difference in size is minimal, but only time will tell (once i get em on that is)

From what I have heard Goodyear F1s are no longer availiable in 205/40 17.

Bought one last week!

But the reason I do not recommend them is hardly anywhere stocks them and price hunting is then limited and when you need a tyre quick it a pain in the bum!

 

[knight85]

right T1-r it is then.....booked in for next week

[knight85]

why thank you!

milltek arrived yet? i got my replacement through last week!

 

[Aimez]

yeh had it a couple of week but what with the broken window and bent alloy and new tyre which was only sorted yesterday I have to wait to be paid before fitting now! I am going to get a cupra bumper first thou otherwise it won't be fitted sitting right.

ahhh gotcha. You got the correct part then? if not i have a lovely pre-facelift one you can have hahaha!

whats with the broken window and bent alloy? must of missed that one?

 

[Aimez]

Came back to my car and the rear 1/4 widow was shattered in Pikey Crawley and on the same night bent alloy and damaged tyre. The wheel place I got my powder coating done cocked up and took ages to sort it all so taken nearly 3 weeks to sort but all cost money I didn't wan to spend.

I posted up pic of the exhaust and people on here seem very sure mine is okay and Sarah at Awesome said she triple checked mine as I had the 2 wrong parts with my ARB I got from them.

So not having much luck lately!

sorry to hear that! my modding funds have all but dried up now, as have started a saving account lol!! i think once i have done had a remap, put my hids and spacers on, ill be finished for a while! unless the euro millions come in !!

im sure with all that bad luck, good luck is just around the corner! keep on

i had some pikey steal my front number plate! was a pressed steel euro style one, well annoyed, as have to spend 15 to get a new one, plus it takes ages as gotta take my V5 in etc...

blummin' thieves!

 

[Aimez]

Sorry to go off topic but where you getting your plate done, is a legal dubmeister one as a few of us at our meet want them but have to drive all the way to Kent for a dubmeister supplier!?

As for being finished yeh right!lol I still got a bit to do before I am finished and can't move out on the amount I earned in the last year so not saving too much!

 

[teepee4bh]

ZE912's are a good tyre and very good value at Camskill £45 Each !!

 

[PLuKE]

I got 4 Toyo T1R's back in November from Black Circles at £58 fully fitted. TBH am not thrilled by the Toyo's, I find they start washing out far to early and to easy IMO and dont think i would buy them again.
I have done 5k/6mths with them fitted and the fronts are showing a fair amount of wear on the fronts, I have it fully tracked at the same time as having them fitted and always checking/adjusting tyre pressures every week.

Mines a Sport TDI 130.

 

[teepee4bh]

i've got Good years all round on beemer

F1 asymettrics on rear are very very grippy and not bad at £90 a corner.

original dunlops on FR are very noisy and a bit scary in wet

Yea they are legal dubmesiter one! got a supplier near me so its quite easy to get hold of them. I really wanna go to a meet, i have never been to one before, but most of the 'local' ones are still a bit of a trek!

They look really good, untill someone steals one , when i order a new one, im gonna get the seat sport number plate surrounds to screw in!

hmmmm, few people saying the t1's are that great, i really would get F1 if i could afford 140 quid a corner, but i cant really! i need to ge tthe next best thing, and from what i have reas/heard the T1-r's are the ok, and for 57quid a corner fully fitted...??

 

[Aimez]

F1s are £100 each delievered form camskill.co.uk even cheaper elsewhere fitting included but I know that is not that cheap.
As I say I will get T1s when my Eagles are dead as they are pain the get quickly as not many tyre places stock them Goodyear have either new version or just cutting down maybe?

Where you getting the plates, nearest suppliers to me are all 60 miles away, Erith, Sidcup or Slough.

Come to the National meet it is a massive trek for us Southerners but worth it!
