Goodyear F1 Asam 2 are more expensive compared to the ecos**t ones at £110 per corner fitted, but tyres are something I don't compromise on, as braking and handling are only as good as what the 4 tyre contact spots will let you do, when pressing on!

So would rather go for these than the ditch finders.


Recently paid £94 fitted for a brace of 235/45/17 from Kwik fit. Can't say I would use them (Kwik fit) again but the tyres came with £20 cashback so I thought " What's the worst that can happen?"... ::) ::) ::)

40-41 at the front, 45 at the rear iirc :-\ but they are 18"s and it's an estate, not far off full load pressures...

Tried it at 33psi all round but it felt very squishy when pressing on :D

Found this thought I read 32psi for saloons somewhere
