tyres help

[mtopple 0]

I need some info as I can't make up my mind. Need to replace the front tyres and want a pair that are excellent in the wet and not soft as I do around 25k miles per year.

ones I am looking at are;

Toyo T1-S

Uniroyal Rainsport 1

Goodyear Eagle F1

Will consider others but looking on review websites theses seem to come out on top.

Cheers

Yes they do - help that is....

For my two cents, I have used the Proxes, and they have unrelenting grip...until it rains. I used them for a while and also had a friend who span his 'rado with these on a badly cambered STRAIGHT road in the wet.

I now have Falken Ziex 512'S which are a fair compromise. BF Goodrich were on the Golf when we got it and they were nice and progressive.

i have TOYO T1 R as stated its a step up from the old S version and they grip like f*** wet or dry on my car, they stretch well on 8j rims too!

I've found the Goodyears to be much better in the wet and dry than the Toyo T1-S.

They are more expensive though!

Sure I saw the Toyo 215 45 17 size T1-S at E38 for

tbh...I don’t think you can go wrong with any of the above.....I’m running rainsports and have done for a couple of years now with no complaints what so ever..........for the sort of miles your doing, the t1s would not be my 1st choice, as they are a very soft compound and not sure you'd get 25k out of a set...like the others say t1r's would be a better choice should you choose go down the toyo route, and as for f1 eagles...a top tyre...if I could afford a set I’d be running them on all my cars...lol

I've got Pirelli P Zero Nero's, can't fault them so far.

Thanks everyone, I think I'll go with the Toyo's T1-R as funding is a little low at present as ideally I would go with the Goodyear but they are around

i used to have pirelli p zero's, they were definately not as good as the t1-r it was the first set of tyres 17's i had on my golf, so i thought it was the profile, but they allow too much road noise in, are unccomfortable, and from the balding on the passenger edge, constantly lose grip (and understeers) on right hand corners....once i backed off, and got oversteer, they arent predictable, taking my toyo's to the track (my car isnt that fast though) was alot better, although i did get through 1 set in a day.

I'm pretty sure the P Zero Nero's are far better than the P Zero's, the Nero's are the flagship tyre in the range unless I'm mistaken. They're certainly the best tyre I've ever had.

goodyear F1`s would be my next choice after t1`rs only the prices sway my decision!
