235/45/17 is the official 17 inch size. You may run into insurance problems using narrower variants. Also, the rolling radius is wrong, buggering up speedo etc.

I have used GY F1 Asym2's for about 18 months on Omegas, but will not buy any more. Relatively poor life combined with the better end of mid-range grip make it quite an expensive tyre offering very little for me.


I'm afraid only micheline pilot sport 3 is left that you didnt try and spit ;D
You've clearly never met me ;D

Joshwyatt - what useless shite tyres did TBE have on when I bought it from you? Was it PS2 or PS3?


yep.. personally I never had the chance to meet you but I know the tyre list you have used and which you didnt like  ::)

I would certainly buy these tyres again.

If memory serves I paid something like £94 a corner for 235/45/17 from 'love tyres'

My local Vauxhall dealer fitted them for £10 plus VAT each.........total £48.

Interesting isn't it. Person A has tyre Z, and considers it the best ever fitted on the car, there for, it must be the best tyre in the world and there can't be anything else worth considering.

Right? :) Is that really what we're saying? :)

Of course it depends on the individuals needs. And experience.


A good tyre means many things to many differant people. If I recommended sc3 over f1 you'd complain of noise. If I recommended rt over sc3 you'd complain of wear. If we then went back to f1 you'd say where's the grip gone?

But as the advert mentions specifically to grip levels. I can definately tell you there are better available. As cem says you mostly know those tyres by now. Dunlop rt and ac3 mo. BOTH of these have more grip.

... However they do have other downside, relatively speaking.

Anyway. Point is, they can't be maximum grip tyres if there's tyres with more grip available. Good tyres all things considered but there's better available and the ad is slightly misleading.

You can do a hell of a lot worse than f1's too of course. :)

Auto(no)grip anyone... ;D

Worth bearing in mind too that grip and longevity are mutually exclusive...

The perfect tyre.

Free.

Never looses grip ever.

Never wears out.

Always gives bullit straight stability.


Until then there will always be questions.



.....Or somebody implements concrete tyres and rubber roads. ;D

Sc3 are alleged to be superceded by sc5 so no tester will get sc3 off conti without paying for them. Hence, not in tests.

They are still available though. .....As are sc2 in some sizes....well I guess so as I keep seeing them new on other cars.

And if your tests imply Toyo proxy are better than sc3 or Dunlop rt regarding grip purely because they aren't present in the test then that is NO advert for tyre tests or cem's logic.
