[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

if I remember correctly, Opti bought Goodyear Eagle F1s (asym 2) around 90 £ size 235 45 17..

ps: efficient grips dont do well in tests..

.....and they are brilliant. Check out the independent customer reviews, Mr Entwood.

Your right. No gt in that size.

Tempted to try RT myself. But I'm extremely reluctant to go for the modern designs due to all this fuel saving bollarxes.

Safer bet would be sc3 but they are more expensive I think. ...? Not familiar with oe sizes these days.

I had good year eagle f1 symetric on my old 3.2 when I got it. Seemed ok if worn out. Goodyear own Dunlop uk.

They look a possible .. £117 and they do a 97 XL as well ......  rubs chin in thought ...

BTW  .. I use this site to read reviews from the comments you kind folks have made .. anyone any opinion on its accuracy / bias  ??

While it's OK as a rough guideline to pick out the real horrors, I think there are too many variables to consider.

Masses of different combinations of the below:-

Driving style
Car (RWD / FWD / 4WD)
Car (Weight)
Car (Power output - same car different engine / gearbox)
Roads used
Wheel size
Suspension wear
Country (different compounds in other countries)
Bullshit factor of reviewer
etc

[feeutfo]

..and the reviewer understanding various issues that may well not be attributable to the tyre, like car set up.

....and I don't care what cem says, reviews are of no use unless the tyres are tested on the car you own. Especially when comes to stability, they just don't include that in tests.

[Entwood]

I take what you both say .. but like all reviews personal preference will always make a difference... given Opti's views above, combined with that sites ratings in comparison to other tyres .. methinks I'll be phoning around locally regarding the Eagle F1 asymmetric 2's but with the higher 97Y XL rating

Many thanks for all the inputs, anything else will also be considered

probably a wise choice.

I would recommend the Goodyear F1 assymetric 2's

or

http://lovetyres.com/tyre/Dunlop-SportMaxx-RT/235-45-17

You either get good grip or a low wear rate. Dont expect to magically get both.

I am thinking of getting these as a single tyre all year option.

Chris.. probably its time to remind you what I did say..
 
I said that a test with various tyres with measured amounts is meaningful if compared on the same car  and the relative test order wont change considerably on an other car.. 
 
And I dont care what you say either

I have said it before, but I love 235/45R17 Pirelli Rosso94Y tyres.

Not cheap at £125 each, but give me a good comfy ride, and great performance if pushing the beast!

If I recall correctly, I paid £96 delivered, plus £10 a corner for balance and fitting.....235/45/17

[Entwood]

Found a local guy who's doing 4 @ £120 each total .. VAT/valve/balance and the poxy disposal fee all in .. So once this steering play is sorted they'll go on ..
