    As above really. What are your manufacturer and tyre line recommendations?

    Always been a Yokohama fan both road and track with no complaints - 510`s / 520`s / AO32R`S

    Do have some Toyo`s right now - T1R`s but too new to tell

    Cheers

    Goodyear Eagle F1's I have liked.

    Currently use Toyo T1-S's as they were 20 a tyre cheaper at the time I bought them.

    They don't make A510/520's anymore? [:^(]

    A539's now there's a super tyre - not. [:x]

    I still have six 520`s - 185/60 x 14`s , two of which are brand new. Occasional Winter use only and on steels (6 x 14 ET 38).

    May be tempted to part with them but am up in Aberdeen.

    Cheers

    I got Toyo T1-Ss and I was amazed.

    I'd been used to anything though, inc. Firestones and Goodyear Eagle NCT1s. :)

    I've got some Yoko's A539 on my 1.3 mk2 today! Should be fun on 55bhp and a 4-speed box! :lol:

    I'm worried if i slip the clutch too quickly, the lack of poke will mean instead of spinning the wheels, the car will stall! But they seem fairly good, but then again i haven't had the option to replace the tyres on my alloys yet!

    How about 4 tyres of 90 at kwik-fix? [8(] I've always heard Toyo proxes to be good, and also Avon have a good range!?

    Bridgstone RE720's better than F1's IMHO.

    i used to have the goodyear f1's and changed over to toyo t1-s's , the t1-s's have a mint tread cut in and seem to handle great so far, also they made the steering a bit leighter before i had power steering [:s]

    The only downside I thought of the Bridgestones was the do squeel a bit.

    I hope you're happy with them, I shall quite possibly be buying more when my floppy sidewalled F1's wear out.
