6 weeks on and I still haven't decided on the tyre I want next, ridiculous !!!
As I go thru a set a year I definitely won't be going back Michelin's due to wear. P Zero's - I'd like to stay away from then due to issues I'm having with them on S8 at present - back steps out quiet often. I've tried Kumhos and Toyo T1 Proxes in between only as they both have been recommended by the tyre garage, not impressed with either, good tyres, but not good enough for the size, weight and power of the car. So this week I was 99% sure I'll be getting Contis 5P, but then last lot of reviews from ''real drivers'' @lovetyres.com has put me off - literally on the day I was going to buy them. So the tyre I am looking at now are Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 - 95% sure at the minute it what I want, but do I?? I've decided last night that I won't be trying Nokian's or Vredestein's or Falken's. Landsail is just not convincing enough to give them ago either. But, even if tyre tests are showing that Bridgestone Potenza's S001 are worst than F1's and all the other premium tyres, how much do you really trust Auto Express, Auto Build magazine and all others along with online tyre reviews. Majority reviews are based on much smaller and lighter cars plus is there an ''envelope'' from manufacturers involved when testing all premium brands? It is fairly easy to fabricate some of the results, make one tyre loose the grip sooner than the other. Any one on here could share some feedback on Bridgestone's ?? Bridgestone's or Eagle F1's ?? or I should really reconsider Contis 5P again ? I'm not bothered about the noise as it's cancelled either by the exhaust or music. Not bother either about the fuel economy while doing on average 9-11MPG. Grip, breaking - wet and dry. Comfort would be nice due to running 20s. Got 4x new OEM TPMS sensors ordered and all I'm missing now is new tyres. Please help if you can, I am one of the most indecisive guy you can imagine and having a good rubber in all conditions is very important as this is the only contact between the road and the car, so pretty crucial element, well, most important !!! Thank you all ![]()
