Lovetyres were selling Goodyear F1 Eagle Asy 2 at £68 a corner recently, Mr Emd.

I paid almost that much for some 'instant slip' Wanli ditchfinders.....which lasted for only 5000 miles.

They look ok and 20db less than the Maxxis i have on and they are damn noisy  :(

Wear rate wont be an issue  ;)

I suggest you check out the independent customer reviews. Most people seem happy.

My rears have covered almost 11,000 miles with plenty of meat (3-4mm) left.

£43 for Linglong-Greenmax UHP and reviews are all good  :o Is a brand name like Goodyear always the best to go for though  :-\

Trouble is with reviews is people's requirements vary dramatically - and those buying such budget ones are after something black, round and will pass the MOT.

In my opinion, Toyo T1R's are quite grippy but don't expect many miles from them. The price that Lord Opti paid for the Goodyear's mean there's no point bothering to look at anything at the top end of the budget list because they simply won't compare on so many levels with them.

Just my opinion, probably wrong.

At that price, Mr EMD should snap up some F1's immediately.
