Just remember there are 4 different types of tyre for each different make for our car.

17"- 17"XL - 18" - 18"XL

So before you follow someone's advice when they say it works on their car, you need to know which one they are running.

I found the normal 17" Asym sidewall far too soft, causing steering and handling problems.

I'd only ever recommend running an XL tyre these days
More support from pot holes (less likely to damage your tyre/wheel)
Better steering response (no spongey response and odd "rolling" sensations

Just a quick update but I've had the Vredestein's fitted for over a week now and am really impressed.  Obviously it's early days but so far the ride is noticeably smoother, and the grip is increased. Oh and they look cool too :-)

I know ultimately it comes down to performance but I must say looks are also a big part of the decision on new tyres for me & that's why Eagle F1's are so appealing!
