Tyres

[geezaman]

I need to replace a couple of tyres on my M3 E30, at the moment I'm using Goodyear F1's. Great tyres and no complaints, does anyone know if there are any better on the market??

How do I add pictures to messages??

Thanks in advance geezaman!!

Look in the FAQ section, which will explain how to post pics.

I have Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD's on the back of mine, awesome grip, wet and dry, but quite soft and wear quickly!

Pirelli P7000s I also recommend.

Toyo T1-S or T1-R, the T1-S will be cheaper as theyre being superseeded by the T1-Rs. Both will be a bit cheaper than the Eagle F1s, performance wise its highly debatable which is the better tyre but you probably wont be disappointed with any of the choices!

toyos are very good, its also a bonus they are cheaper than eagle f1s

they have a very progressive breakaway which is nice

I use eagle F1's(22545/16) and they are great. The cheapest I have found them for is about Ԛ£117 from blackcircles.com. Let me know if you can find them cheaper!!

just ordered 2x T1-S for the rear yesterday, from blackcircles, Ԛ£87 all in for 195/50/15s. hopefully arrive tomorrow so i can get them on for stevenage. already have em and like em on the front but curiously the budget tyres on the rear seem to have gone bald since i put that lsd on!

My T1-Rs were over double that! But in 205 size
Guess sum peeps are trying real hard to get rid of their remaining T1-S stock

[Karan]

i think its cos of the size toby ordered

i wouldnt mind some t1s actually, they have served me well and if they are cheap i may get some

Theyre Ԛ£34.90 on www.mytyres.co.uk in tobys size inc delivery too!

[Toby_Unna]

thanks for that will!

[Karan]

do you recommend 195 section for the rear?? surely thats insane with all that power

[Toby_Unna]

it's had these crappy budget tyres on the back since i bought those mims, i didn't want to put the decent 2 toyos on the back cos i knew i'd want to drift it around everywhere anyway and they wouldn't last long.

even with the cheap rears it's fine in the dry (it wasn't before i changed the suspension, the 316 stuff didn't like bumps even in the dry!) and should be better with the new t1-s's. as will says it costs a lot more to go a little wider, and they're only going to get torn to shreds after a few hundred roundabouts anyway
