Need to buy 4 tyres, size 235/45/17.

Have narrowed it down to:

Falken ZE 512
Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3
Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric
Dunlop SP2000E
Toyo Proxy T1-R

Anyone used these on facelift Omegas? Comments?


Cheers all - Graham

My vote is on Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric. its better for rain than the other..

[TheBoy]

Not used any. Used Dunlop SP9090 on my MV6 (same size)

[pscocoa]

I used Michelin Primary - seem fine - thought this was the standard fit.

I used Michelin Primacy - seem fine - thought this was the standard fit.

They wear the best of all the above, a little more expensive though.

I've seen the Toyo's on good value but never tried.

I've got SP2000Es on mine. I found them a little bit noisier than the Primacys if anything but not anything to worry about, and good value. The fronts have been on there about 15k and seem to be wearing OK. Plenty of life left in them yet. A little inner shoulder wear but that's almost certainly a camber issue so off to WIM next week. Grip levels seem perfectly acceptable.

^^^^^^^^^
The fronts last forever.

Have been lucky to get any more than 15-18k out of any tyres on the rear of our estate. (Is under load from towing though)

I have Toyo's on my MV6 really good tyres but a little noisey

[sounds2k]

I find avon ZZ3's good too ... but they wear quickly ...

[old cruiser]

Got the Falken ZE 512's on mine and have lasted well , not bad in the wet but strangely enough feel odd occasionly on dry roads, but that could be just down to road surface as these wide tyres can give you some nightmares in the lorry tracks on motorways if you see what I mean, so, for the price not too bad a choice.

I currently run Goodyears and Conti's and both seem excellent.

I also have some Michelins on the rear of the V plate and they are rubbish, much to hard and poor on general grip. Yes they wear well but, its at the expense of general grip which is not a compromise I am willing to make.

Which model GY and Contis?

Ideally I want to spend around £80-£90 per corner fitted and balanced.


Thanks everyone! Anyone used the GY GS-D3s?

[Marks DTM Calib]

Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3

 and

How are the GS-D3s for tramlining? Noise?


Cheers.

[Jimbob]

I have Continental Sport Contact2's all round, find them excellent!

Quiet, Grippy, and completely cured the tramlining I had before.
