sure its been said 1000 times but your tyres are the only thing connecting you to the road, kinda worth paying extra for

I drive high performance cars with all different types of tyres on on a daily basis.

If you want to buy cheap budget tyres then go ahead, you asked for an opinion and I gave it. spend a few £ extra and get some goodyear gsd3's or Uniroyal rainsports.

albeit not by much i really dont see the need for spending a fiver extra each tyre for one that performs pretty much the same as the cheaper

Goodyear Eagle F1's. I now know 4 mates that have these and rate these alot. Once my Yokohama's have run down (I dont rate these) I'll be getting the F1's

Ive had firestones, acelera and both have thrown me off the road in hot conditions and arent even worth rating in the wet. Moved to proxies t1-r's and were brilliant in normal conditions but not so good in the wet. Eagle F1's are by far the best tyre ive used so far in my driving life
