CaMpylobacter Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 dz101 direzzas = rule me. last well but still stick in wet and dry pwn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegreatestben Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I got dunlop sp sport maxes in the that size for 150 fitted at tonys. Supposedly the best dunlop they make. Still made in Germany too. Grouse tires, I'll buy again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2_escort Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 i can tell you that direzza dz101's are better then sp sports. another good tyre is the bridgestone MY01, not quite as good as the direzzas but cheaper. other good tyres are eagle F1's but are crap in the wet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyteler Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 WOAH! .. WOAH! WOAH!!.. WOAH! .. WOAH! This isn't my Batman Glass. Seriously though... so, Callum, you're saying the guy that said Eagers were a good tyre has another astounding piece of misinformation. I just can't believe it.

kpr Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 i'd go for toyo t1r or goodyear f1. toyo's seem to be a bit better in the dry and f1's bit better in wet. pretty retarded saying f1's suck in the wet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ke36 Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 anyone driven on gt radials? seem reasonalby priced at $160 fitted each can also get the dz101s in town for 200 fitted each lot of the other ones are $200+ beaurapairs quotted me $275 for the f1s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowgan Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 i roll GT radials on my cressida, in 195/50/15s. the' ol' champiros. gud as tyres, havent had any problems other than camber wear (given). and they have a sexy as hell looking tread pattern (in my books, others may wana argue) and nice lil anti kurb lip thing that makes the sidewall look good stretched. well recomended tyres, far beta than the potenza GIII's i had before.

mk2_escort Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 the eagle f1's were on a rb25det skyline, a mate of mines, and it seemed to loose traction very easily but maybe it was just because it had a big turbo and plenty of grunt.... thats the only reason why i thought they werent that great in the wet. thats also comparing to the adrenalins that i regularly drive on and there isnt much better on the market but are more expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2_escort Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 nankang ns1's are old, ns2's are the new ones. they are good bang for your buck tyres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmystar Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Had GT Radials on my brothers last car. They are pretty average. Had toyo proxes on my last car and they were pretty good. Only $150 each aswell which was way better that anything i was quoted at tonys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
