[coffey]

just bought myself sum new alloys

7" x 17"

wot sorta money am i lookin to put decent rubber on them cos my last alloys i went for the cheap route and boy was that a mistake....every roundabout in the wet u were guaranteed to kick the rear end out if u wanted to or not at 20MPH hock:

Toyo Proxes T1-S, ive had them a couple of times, as do many people on here. Cant say a bad word about them! They are very affordable and stick the car the road like glue!

 

[coffey]

price?

 

[Marc]

uniroyal rain sports i have found to be good for the price... the toyos dont last very long, very soft tyre..... the daddies gotta be the goodyear eagle f1's but you will pay a lot for them

 

[Harry]

Cant actually remember what i paid for mine, they are 18s. Everyone seems to get them (including me) from Harrys Tyres just off the beersbridge road in belfast. Give them a call, as they are the best prices around for toyos.

 

[Bronk]

pm armo!! he will help u out

One thing I must stress is that if you buy a performance car, buy some decent tyres for it. I remember seeing a new civic type R once with a set of silverstones on it. Not that I'm slagging silverstones, but they are a budget tyre, not something you put on your sports hatchback. I have toyos on the civic and although I think they are decent enough, I find it hard to know how they will react, especially in the wet. I'm gonna try something different (and probably more expensive again) next time.

I had F1's for a while there too, now those are tyres, they stuck to everything and i could drive in the wet the same as i do in the dry.. They also just wouldnt die, they lasted aaages!
I know what you mean about the toyos in the wet cooper, its a bit scary sometimes.

totally agree. i put Eagle F1 GSD3's on the peugeot and its well worth it. do NOT skimp on tyres. its all very well having all the power, but if you can't get grip on the road, your bucked.

Whoever said uniroyal rainsport.... i agree again. these are a good tyre. they lasted forever when i had the seat leon (and that was with some pretty aggressive driving at times), and i still haven't found a better tyre in the wet (including the F1's).

You driving one of those RWD subarus coffey :lol: Expect to pay £70/80ea for 17" eagle F1s, bit less for the likes of toyos. Try harrys tyres in Belfast for some good prices.

[Barry]

I prefer the back roads myself !

PM me with details of the next track day & you never know. I usually only find out about track days once they're over.

 

[Boydie]

back roads are far better

Dont even go anywhere else for Toyo's, nobody and i mean nobody can beat their prices, Toyo's are always normally in-stock
