Ok, after many a wasted hour dragging myself through search results to not find a definative answer here is my question.

i can get toyo t1-r and t1-s in 205/55/15

i can't however get goodyear eagle f1's in this size

however i can get them in 195/55/15, the question is should i go for the smaller size (bearing in mind they are for the front two wheels) or should i go for the larger size and there for the toyo's

cheers

Chris

Which ones would you like ?

I would personally have the 195's on the 15" rims, but whats fitted on the rear ?

[billgatese30]

on the rear is a set of 205/55/15 eagle f1's with plenty of tread left

the fronts are the same but are borderline legally

i would like to replace them with goodyears again as they are a great tyre, but do i do this at the sacrifice of size, or do i just go for the correct size but a different tyre

[Dan318-is]

f1's hands down job done. there is no better tyre, sacrifice anything for it.

at the end of the day chris, the tyre is THE most important part of a car

i would choose the f1 buddy!

[Chaos]

if youve got f1's in 205/55 already then it shows they are available.
have u tried going into a trye place and actually asking if they can order u some ?

[kam-325i]

I would fit the 205's then, keep them the same all round.

I would never mix brands on same axle, but would sacrafice different brands on front/rear axle for handling/safety.

[Simon]

Got to agree, they tyres that were on there are the best available, tried loads, but never found anything better.

Stick to the 205's as well!

[billgatese30]

thats the problem though, if i could get f1's in 205/55/15 then i would have them by now and wouldn't have even asked...but know where can get them and everywhere is saying that goodyear have stopped producing the tyre in this size....so...do i go for a different size and stick to f1's, or do i go for the correct size but go to toyo's?

[kam-325i]

Stick to the same size.

If goodyear have stopped making them, then thats it......

[Jhonno]

stay with the correct size and the toyo's they are good tyres themselves

[philn]

Get 205/50's

Sharpens it up a bit too.

[StuBeeDoo]

Chris, I don't know how up-to-date Goodyear keep their website, but the F1's are still listed on there in 205/55x15.

[billgatese30]

i know they are stu, but no where can get them, even the larger online places like blackcircles and camskill don't stock them

[StuBeeDoo]

That case, go for the Toyo's. People seem to think they're pretty good.
IMHO, you want to stick to 205's - after all, you want to keep the car original, don't you?
Cheers

I got F1's in 205/55/15 in late November/early December, you can only get this size in GSD2 not the currant GSD3.

I think i paid about 140-145 for a pair fitted, not sure if they will mail order them or not but heres their name and number.

The ones Chris has on the sport were neither GSD, they were the original eagle F1's, I haven't seen them sold for a while now, but when they were still available, they were Ԛ£55 each.

[Andy335Touring]

Ah right, i doubt you'd be able to get the original F1's now TBH ?

[billgatese30]

any f1's would be good...never seen originals other than whats on the car, gsd3's are not available in that many sizes and i'm struggling to find some gsd2's but i'm gonna give that place you mentioned a ring tomorrow andy as well as one marc has give me

lets see what they say

[fuzzy]

never used fi's to compare,but i do use toyo t1-r's, and theyre a quality tyre with plenty of grip.
