235/45/17 Goodyear Eagle F1 Assym 2 on all four corners.   :)

Just bought a new pair of the same to replace the rears. They are a damn sight cheaper now than I paid for my current set.  :-\

255/55R18 goodyear wranglers.   Set of 4 brand new from assorted sources, including the bay of E, for about £250. All fitted, ready for winter, thanks to some pocket money cash to the apprentice.

The Bullet is on 4 x Dunlop Sport Maxx RTs - Not as good as its predecessor, the TT's, from a durability and straight line stability point of view, but still ideally suited to my car. Durability is not great though.

TBE is on 4 x Nexen N6000  :-[ - absolutely shite tyre from a grip point of view, but does make that highly strung car go straight

TBE also occasionally sits on 4 x GY F1 Assm2 - given the grip levels, cost, durability and those 3 faulty tyres I've had recently, I will not be getting any more.


(thank god this is Omega only, else I'd have to say what shite is on the battlebus)

Price is irrelevant for me, as sadly these tyres do not suit me/my car. Tried 2 sets, so I know its not just one was duff. Both sets ended up with some form of unexplained damage.  Which reminds me, I must chase whats happening with those ones with the inner sidewall damage.

Odd really. Having used a fair few sets of GY F1 Assym in both the 1st and 2nd incarnations, I have never had any of the issues you mention.

Thing is we all drive our cars differently  ::) Some at break neck speed some at captain slow , so a tyre for one wont have the same grip for everyone .. even in the wet   ::)

What TB is saying is, he needs more grip. But still hasn't/can't/wont learn to drive within the grip level of the tyres he has. ;D

Where as D seems to be saying that he still hasn't/can't/wont learn that the Sun doesn't revolve around Earth. ;D

Both are ..... Quite incredible really :(.   ;D

I would certainly buy the Goodyears again. :y
The 'instant slip' Dunlop Sportmax that a certain portly admin raves about ::)...... don't seem to do that well in independent tests. ;)

'Some say' they have about as much grip as Bambi on ice. ;D
