Ok, its time for new rubber after 12k (really suprised they lasted so well, reasonably hard driven car)

Its a STi Type Uk 53 plate, Standard 17" wheels, currently with RE40's

Would like something that does not tramline so much if thats possible and softer would not be a problem.

Any ideas and suggestions (and cheap sources) would be greatfully recieved.

 

Toyo Proxies either T1S or T1R.

 

Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3's

 

www.mytyres.co.uk is all i can say....

Yep definately Goodyears GSD3's

 

just tyres, are doing toyo 225`s at 92 quid fitted.

 

I can only see them for £96 on Just Tyres, wonder if the price has gone up already?

Also, some of the reviews on the www seem to suggest that the Toyo's have a softer sidewall and roll a little more, anyone found this to be a problem on a Scoob. My RE040's seem to wear the edges pretty quickly already, so I wouldn't want it to get worse!

Yokohama parada spec 2's cant rate these tyres highly enough.

 

Goodyear F1s for me - cracking tyres.

Someone was raving over the Michelin Pilot Sport 2's here not long ago, but they did dreadfully in the Autocar tyre test in the autumn (if you believe anything Autocar writes)

 

Interesting! I'd heard good things about the PS2s and they're certainly expensive enough.

Mine are due for replacement soon and I'll be going for the Goodyear Eagle F!GSD3s. I've heard too much good stuff about them not too. Didn't they also win the last tyre test in Evo magazine?

What pressures are people running with the GSD3s?

I recently fitted the XL variety with a stiffer sidewall, but my once tight and pointy WRX03 now feels like it has a fat wobbly ***. It does not inspire confidence at anything over 50MPH.

 

Yep definately Goodyears GSD3's

 

Eagle F1 GSD3's

Now coming to end of second set at 40,000.

36psi front; 33psi rear

 

Any more comments on the Toyo Proxies T1S?? Are the sidewalls too soft for a scoob?
Cheers
Alex

 

Im running 225/35/18 Toyo T1S with a tyre wall that thin there can't be much flex in it

I have no problems with mine

 

i had 215/45/17's on a beemer and i swear it change the drive totally so gsd3's are all good in my book, scooby will be getting a tyre transpalnt as and when i get me some alloys.... all standard at the moment.

 

Thanks for the reply's

In the end stuck some Michelin Pilot Sport 2's as I got them for an ok price and the RE40's were so low they must have been borderline illegal.

But what a difference, the scary tramlining has vanished. Turn in seems good and grip ok. Need to fully scrub them in but initial impressions after about 10 miles sliding about are good.
