   right then people,
   
   want some views on tyres.
   i'm due for some new fronts at the minute i have yoko a539's 15" on.
   
   i was gonna try some other ones this time, a few people have told me their views.
   
   but can't decide between these.
   
   well yoko's
   eagle f1
   pirelli p7
   avon zx3 i think.
   
   personally i think yokos wear quite quick i've had them on 6 months don't drive fast all the time but they haven't lasted long.
   
   apologies as this in the suspension and braking forum i thought better than engine performance lol.

   F1s. Much better than all the others on your list, I prefer them over proxies and pilots too

    has to be the f1's. best tyres i have ever used personally. the avons are ok as well but seem to give up a little on the limit.
    
    here many mixed reviews about the proxies. people tend to say that yeah they grip like shit to a blanket but also wear out quicker than anything else as they are soo soft.
    
    F1's for the kill in my opinion....
