f1's
. but don't show them a circuit. I slightly prefer SO3s over F1s as they withstand heat better, on the road in the dry the SO3s have the edge, its the other way round in the wet.- Circuit Pack 
the nankangs are UTTER CRAP im comparison. im not sure what type they were but if it was raining i would not be able to pull out at a junction without spinning the back wheels. for the price id say proxes are excellent.Lauren wrote:Toyo's IMO are cheap budget tyres.
very good for the money

Dont call a 10/10 cost+mileage tyre "a bad tyre" because it doesn't hold heat well on the track, that is totally absurd!!!! That's not what it is for!(IMHO) excellent. It is REALLY cheap, it lasts 15,000 miles, it grips in the wet and dry adequate to my car and ability and I can take it on a track. What more do I want?JohnnyC wrote:steve wrote:Eagle F1 GSD3's

Do they last that long?
done about 8k on them so far, still got loads of tread left

Yep the F1s are very good for the road.
Needel gave my car an absolute pasting around Brunters last year with the F1's at MR2004. He did 7 laps and turned the traction control off. My tyres were just legal at the time. However I they hadn't melted/blistere/deteriorated (to the eye) in anyway afterwards, and believe me he did use them well!'scrubbed' ie, were taken onto the track brand new?steve wrote:JohnnyC wrote:steve wrote:Eagle F1 GSD3's

i'd expect Bry's to last probably half that or less

Do you think the F1's apparent overheating on track use has become exaggerated? I did see a pic on here a while ago of some F1's that had been wrecked by track use, but i'm sure it was because they hadent been
. a days use will though. I trashed mine in 5 laps of Spa, though that would equate to probably 12laps of bruntingthorpe. The sidewalls are made of jelly so it becomes a matter of running them at pretty high pressures which obviously makes them pretty hot. Martin Holdens delaminated pretty quickly too, in fact it was quite worrying. The problem with F1s is they seem to wear unevenly over the tread width so you end up with highs and troughs across the tyre. I think its due to their design in that they have a single tread block that runs from the centre to the outside.- Circuit Pack / pretty good............

Thought they were pretty good on track and nicely progressive wet and dry, though i wonder how much of this was due to the chassis of the car as it was very, very good.- Circuit Pack 
I've been an Eagle F1 fanboy for some time, and have always been impressed by their behaviour on the road - wet and dry. Unfortunately I can't comment on how they wear on the track as I've never tracked my tubby, so just take the word of those more experienced in this department. When my current set of F1 GSD3s wear out, I'll replace them with the same (or newer), but as I've only done about 500 miles on my F1s in about 11 months, it's going to be some time...! -*- Mk2 Turbo Rev2 -*- Mk1 NA -*- Mk2 Turbo Rev 3 = all gone!"Cruisey, Sporty, more innovation, more adult.

I also drive very sensibly on the road, so have never had an issue with low-milage wear either.
