i keep reading about about wot tyres people are using and wot are the best(only looking as im going through the process of new wheels and tyres myself)and all people seem to talk about are the bridgestones,toyo's and the goodyear f1's,do michelin and pirelli not make any decent tyres anymore?aswell as a number of other brands that dont seem to get mentioned,just wondered if anyone had any views on these others...


thanks

I think people talk about these tyres because in people's oppinion they are the best for these cars, so why talk about the rest?

bartmanuk

the rest do need talkin about cause pirelli and michelin make some sh*t hot tyres that go on some meatier motors than ours mate, and thats a fact...lol

P-Zeros were developed for the Diablo and they're still usless on an Impreza - Fact

Yep, but most people on here like to make use of the awd and drive enthusiastically in the wet as well as in the dry. Hence the popularity of F1s and Proxes T1-s. Whilst other brands perform well (often better) in the dry the Goodyears and Toyos are the favoured all round performers (ie dry/wet weather performance, wear rates, noise, price).

so wot makes the p-zeros useless on the impreza?
ive been comparing tyres on reifentest.com and find some of the michelins and pirellis are right up there with the others in the test results when looking at the alround performances....so wot would make these bad tyres for the impreza,especially the michelin pilot primacy.

in these ratings 1 is the best and 6 is the worst

I have had Avon ZZ3's on for 1000 miles now and must say I am impressed

bartmanuk

i'll take your word for it phil as i dont know myself what they're like,but in the tyretest.com they didn't get very good test results,and thats what gets me confused on this whole tyre issue...oh well

okay then,wot about the firestone FH SZ40,firestones flagship in sports tyres,now i had these on a 16v astra gte and they were the nuts tyres,couldn't fault in the wet or dry,and in tyretest.com they even show better results than the Goodyear EAGLE F1 GS-D3....so wot do we all think of this???
