Tyre Advice
« on: 13 November 2007, 18:45:43 »
Just had a thought on Tyres.
What is the general thought on the best tyre to put on the omega for both performance noise and durability?
I have not had the car that long an would appreciate any advise as to what to buy and what to avoid.
Thanks

Got Goodyear Eagle F1's all round on mine - not too much noise from them, good grip in the dry, and good grip in the wet (as found out when some numptie pulled out in front of me on a roundabout tonight!  >:( )

im using Dunlop SP9090's, they wear well and seem to be a half decent tyre.

Goody F1's are the daddy, no two ways about it, only thing i have found is they do wear a bit quickly....but that could be to do with my driving style  ;D

For general conditions Michelin Pirmacy HP,

but for very high speeds mich.Pilot sport or eagle F1..But these sports tires are not good for rain..

edit : goodyear excellence and continental sporticontact 2 are also worth checking but they are not soft ..

Pirelli p7000 very hard, and some tramlining, easy to get the backend to break out.

Hello mate,

I have used TOYO tyres for about 6 years and never had 1 problem ever !! i currently have the new F4 series on my Cupra R and as with all TOYO tyres they are fantastic,

Great dry / wet grip

Low road noise

Comfortable ride

Good last ability.

Not to pricey either.

Hope this helps you mate....
