    My tracking went today on the M25 and took both my front Eagle F1's with it

    I am in search for some new tyres and looking around the new but I don't have a clue about the brands and so on.

    I don't take it on track I just use it for fast road and long motorway journeys, any suggestions boys?

    Thanks!




    Edit -

    Photo of the tyres the wear is on both inner tyre walls.


    Someone suggested camber? as the front is on 50mm springs, how do you adjust camber on a saxo?

    your tracking went today and took your tyres with it . . .

    I assume so, Ive never noticed it before?

    Ive checked my arches and so on for rubbing, but can't see anything..

    Both inner tire walls had worn down to the wire :/

    i know its my job to keep vehicles road worthy - but i check my tyres every fortnight, tread, condition (regarding side wall / potential damage) and pressure.

    i dont understand how people are so oblivious to their tyres :s

    Truthfully though Tonts it was fine, as I drove on the M25 and got to my destination fine, I checked my tyres last week and they was fine. I drove it once to the shops within the week and that was that :/

    you dont go from fine, to canvas from going to the shops...unless it was 300 miles away.

    its been happening for a long time mate. not having a go, just sayin it takes longer to case that kind of damage than people think.

    i.e my post above.

    I was taking the piss when i said A048's. but no, the ones you linked clearly aren't A048's as they say S drive on the link, just in case you're still wondering.

    Michelin PE2 if you want the 'best' all round tyre for a saxo.

    what price are you thinking? i had uniroyal rainsport 2s but found them truly dreadful. now i have a pair of kumho ku31s on the front and they are fantastic

    Those kumho's are a good tyre for the money, but personally i love my rainsport 2's . Much prefer them to the proxes t1r's and they are cheaper too. Just my opinion.
