Tyre recommendations for 18" wheels please?
My choice is:
Bridgestone RE 050
Good Year Eagle F1 G3
Toyo Proxes T1-R
Not sure which one to pick for excellent all weather driving & handling.

I have the T1-Rs. Not a patch on the RE070 I had on the 17" rims, but at least they don't tramline. Wouldn't buy them again, probably try the Goodyears.

Got a set of 225/40/18 on the Wagon. Never given me a problem, often slatted as they are cheap, but i am sick of replacing expensive tyres because of a puncture. Had Eagle F1s once and they let go in the wet with no warning and I ended up in a hedge. Had Vredestein on the car when I bought her and they were leagues ahead of the F1s also.
Think alot depends on setup and driving style too.

Recently fitted these and after a bit of scrubbing in, what a fantastic tyre they are! The Vredestein Sessantas I had on before that were also very good, but they wore down in next to no time and seemed to be well past their best in performance terms after just 3-4000miles

The new F1 Assymetrics are a totally different tyre to the outgoing GSD3 they replace with much stiffer sidewalls. Truly exceptional turn-in and are outperforming my Sessantas in a number of respects despite not being fully scrubbed in yet. Oh, and £83 a corner in 17" is a nice price

yoko parada s 2 have just gone on my baby (thanks RCM) and they seem very good so far and i think they look Amazing.
Also had load of white line goodies, PFF7s and full geometry by the boys at Roger Clark Motorsport so not sure if that’s got something to do with the feeling of unlimited grip
