Good Year Eagle F1 Asymmetrics, very good in the wet, very good on 1/4 mile runs in 330ft-lbs MK2 Leon Cupra and very good on the track in my LCR.
They are in a different league to the Toyo's but also a bit more expensive.
With 400BHP don't feck about, get the Asymmetrics

What sort of price are these ?
Darren,

Too much middle of the road these.
Good dry handling but very soft and rubbish wear, R888's better.
Alright in the wet but to nearly as good as the F1 Astmmetrics.

Not worth it TBH.
If you want an all out dry road performance tyre get R888's
If you want a tyre to be very good at both, get the F1 Asymmetrics

the contis have got to be good if they are fited on M3s as standard

They are very very good but I think the £130 a tyre price puts people off, you running these on your leon?

I got a pair of nearly new ones on my other wheels I was thinking about swapping them over with mine.

no one rate continental sport contact 3?

yes, i have them and i think they're great.
they're better than F1s imo and 2nd only to michelin PS2s.

they're not cheap, but if you're running 400bhp, i wouldn't skimp on tyres..
