What type of tyres do you have?

[Simon K]

I've used T1R's for the last couple of sets on the Bananawagon. Just have to keep on top of rotation otherwise the fronts get eaten. Good in the wet and dry.

My01. Unimpressed.
Direzzas. Average.
Grid 3. Average.

Love my goodyear F1's...

Pretty unhappy that they are being replaced.

[Snoozin]

^ It stands to reason they'd replace them with a superior product though, does it not?

[Paulio]

Eagle F1s here i sleep with them

[Willdat?]

On my Corolla BZ Touring...

Goodyear NCT5s are evil...I went through a set in 15,000kms... (about 3 months)

Replaced with Nankang NS2s which seem a lot better for a similar price, will probably last a similar mileage, but a lot better grip inbetween.

Now that I'm using the car only for 25km + trips will replace with Direzzas

I'm looking to replace 4 tyres.

I'd be interested in the opinions and experiences of others - in particular I'm tossing up Dunlop Direzza vs. Bridgestone MY-01.

My Experiences:
* Dunlop Direzza - Great tyre, good grip, bit of road noise. Good value for money.
* Bridgestone Potenza G3 - Excellent tyre, excellent grip, lots of road noise. Not worth the extra $50 per tyre over a direzza.
* Hankook Ventus - Poor tyre, poor grip, loads of wall movement. Stayed on the car for 2 days before I traded them. Aweful, would never by them again.
* Yokohama Advans - Good tyre, good grip, little road noise. A weee bit of wall movement.

What vehicle and application??

[MrBeef]

Savero Steel Belted A/Ts

good on and off road i find

[Mr Revhead]

pretty weird tread pattern on those adrenalines.... when we first got some in i thought they'd cocked up and sent us all one side instead of left and right

[Prymal]

wait - the f1 is discontinued ? * frown *

hmmss well that kinda sucks

had Sportmaxxes briefly on my old Gt4 - they were not as good as the f1's it had previous

probably go michelens or Potenza's next for the group A ..

What vehicle and application??

Caldina GTT (Manual, 3SGTE Turbo). The car is used for weekend driving and holidays - so long trips up and down state highways and windy corners near the coast.

For the price and application you can hardly go past the direzza, otherwise if you are the kind who likes to push their car a little more the new f1 will be available later this month.

[1I1]

Toyo Proxes on the front (not sure on exact spec)
Some cheap as rainmaster's or something on the back.


205/40/17's on AE111. They were on the car when i got it, the rears seem to grip ok but i still do not have great trust in them.

[AE86less]

I <3 direzzas.

Except I hate not being able to do skidzz anymore cause I can't overpower the rears

[Silent Knight]

wait - the f1 is discontinued ? * frown *

From what I know they are still being made, but only in China now rather than Germany and the quality isn't the same...

There the odd sizes that still gets made in Germany though...

[Alex B]

F1's are being phased out for a new model afaik.

With those heavyass chomes it wont be able to lose traction anyway

[fxgt race]

Currently on goodyear f1 but soon to be bridgestone potenzas RE01R which should piss on any tyre i have ever owned.

[Adamal]

Currently got Toyo Proxies Vimode on Thinass. Have to say they're an excellent tyre. Difficult to break traction in the wet. Great for MR2's.

[BZG Wagon]

Hmmm... just found a cheap supplier of Eagles.

That begs the question:
GOODYEAR F1 GS-D3 ($200 ea)
**or**
Dunlop Direzza DZ101 ($199 ea)

I've had the direzza before which means I know what to expect. I've heard good things about the eagle though.

I've haven't heard much good news about the MY-01 so that is out of the equation now.

[RBPOWA]

TRIANGLES! cant beat that cheap price haha
