POLL: Which is the best all round tyre

[acidstrato]

i find it funny how fair this poll is...cos how many people have honestly tried all of the options...not many i reckon..if any

that said, iv tried atleast 3, maybe 4 iirc, and T1 Rs all the way

 

[ibizacupra]

t1r=poor

cheap but poor

 

[cordobabrendy]

wheres the marshal matrac ku17's ? ive had mine on for thousands and they grip well and wear well for a softish rubber.
otherwise f1 gsd's they were on last time.

 

[chrisbond69]

why do people class toyo as an upgrade on new wheels do they still do t1s? how much are goodyear in 205/40/17 ? wat about the michelin pilot sport items on web site called black circles they review them along with toyo and goodyear f1 gsd3's

Is Bridgestone RE050A not an option ? Had good feedback from those. Had Yokohama AVS Sport and they were nice, now trying Eagle F1 and they are better. Next I'll try some RE050A.

t1r=poor

cheap but poor

and yet it seems to be the most popular...after all the poll is looking for the best all round tyre

50% cos of brand worship i think though

they do, but the T1R was the new design out, and supposed to be the replacement of the T1S for more road use

Just had 4 t1's fitted, happy days - toyo dealers says he's now selling more and more 's' over the 'r'

Still had to wait 2 days for them though. The R is ****, feels like youve got budget boots on. Never again.

i got the size wrong i am running 205/40/r17 not 45 and i voted for t1r's when realy im running t1s's sorry

and also T1-S users are posting under T1-R poll option.

T1-S is the better tyre of the two
in the dry I would go T1-S over GSD3, but all round (for UK wet weather) I side on GSD3's overall

i work in alloy wheel and tyres shop! iv jus put a set of 195/40/17 yoko s-drive on my mk3 cupra only coz its very very low on coily's and didnt want it to catch, seem to grip very very well in the dry! aint had a go in rain yet as its like a million degrees outside! i ran falkens befor these seemed ok in dry but no so good in the wet! parada's are a very gd tyres but you wont get many miles at all, but hey wat can i say i only got 6k out of my falkens!

 

[chrisbond69]

looks like the t1s and goodyears seem to be favz ill ask shop for t1s i think as can get them cheaper ill get goodyear next time

 

[cupra_matt]

At first i ran T1S but poor wear rate, tried T1R which were just the same, maybe a little better both were 195/45 R16.

Now iam running P Zerp Nero's 205/45 R16, these are much better in both dry and wet and seem to be wearing ok on a 280 BHP+ front wheel drive car.

Plus iam biased to Pirelli as my brother is the compound development manager for pirelli.

 

[sssstew]

i agree with what acid said, as i havent run the others i can only vote on what ive used. which is michies for me, im more about mileage that outright grip though. looking at about 25k from a set of 4 rotated,.

 

[chrisbond69]

shoot i wish i had 25k for mine ive done about 7k and mine are almost worn and i dont drive that hard.

 

[Niall]

Uniroyal rainsport 1 good allround tyre

 

[Abster]

Eagle f1's gsd3's are sound and have not disappointed me yet. Had them all round for last 2 sets n never felt the need to try anything else since I found them. Not had more that 8.5k out of a set though which is a bit of a killer on the pocket.

Ran the a set of Michellin Pilot Exaltos (fitted by the dealer) for bout 18months. The mileage was decent 14kish but the handling wet n dry just doesn't compare to the F1's

 

[mat20vt]

little off topic, but anyone know the cheapest place to get tyres?

 

[Bizacup20vt]

running p zero nero's on mine, good alround tyre wet and dry, wearing well too!

 

[nogutsnoglory]

I had brand new toyos on my car when i bought it in feb and just replaced the front 2 a couple of weeks ago, when I went to the tyre place I said i wanted the best hard-wearing all round tyre for the cheapest price and I got 2 of the avons for about £200.
The toyos lasted 5 months so i'll see how long these last but theyve got loads of tread and grip well too
