BF Goodrich profiler 2

Hard compound, long lasting, reasonable price, abit ropey in the wet and lack dry grip.

When they run too low im switching to Continental premium contact 2 or maybe kumho KU31

If you can find an Eagle F1 then get some. I have never looked back since I had the first set fitted. I found my last one in Germany though

I had Uniroyal Rainsports, didn't like them and seemed to wear quite quickly to me too.

I now have Goodyear Eagle F1's and rate them very highly - same price as Uniroyals give or take £2 a tyre, seem to last better as well as grip better in the dry - yet to try them hard in the wet though.

I got mine from mytyres.co.uk, and was told they could take up to 10 days to get to me as they were coming from Germany - they took four

I've got Michelin Pilot Exalto's on my Corsa SRi and they grip very well in the dry and wet, and them seem to be lasting well enough too. As other people have said they arent cheap though, they were something like £85-90 a pop fitted in 195/45/16 .

F1 tyre review

Would you purchase this tyre again? probably
Comments
Una buona gomma, molto rumorosa da fredda poi riscaldandosi migliora, consumo abbastanza elevato
