Like most others i have found goodyear eagle f1's to be the best tyres i have ever had. A close second were Hankook ventus evo v12, excellent grip. Listed as Hankook k110 on most sites  :happy2:

At the moment im edging towards the f1 as2s. Cam skill have them on special for £102 each and £10 worth of fuel for every tyre which looks pretty good. Do you reckon its worth ringing up my local dealers to see if they can better it? Im in the Reading area, does anyone know anywhere good?

Call tyre barn a call mate
I use them for tracking and all my tyre changes for last 2 years, never had any damage done by them, got a really good relationship with the guys there.

I bought my tyres from Camskill they were 87 quid each plus postage plus fitting at £10 a corner.
This place did them 94 each fitted ergo would been cheaper.

They do not fit personally supplied tyres anymore though.

I usually go for f1's or similar, i was once a bit tight for cash and didnt want any of this cheap chinese rubbish so tried some uniroyal rainsport 2's and have to say i was really really impressed with them, think they were around 70 a corner. definatly worth a look for the price anyway!
