c7brown Posted January 8, 2002 Share Posted January 8, 2002 Any suggestions for the best all around road tyre (14") for my 1.8? I currently have pilots but would like something with a bit more grip. Anyone ever use Goodyear Eagle F1s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jam Mad Posted January 8, 2002 Share Posted January 8, 2002 search the archives. yoko a021rs for all round, or avon acb10s for track work and the dry. also yoko 32's or avon ( i think ) cr500's. did i miss any folks ? general consensus is don't touch anything else, certainly not michelins or goodyear. j Edited by - jam mad on 8 Jan 2002 16:10:52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying kiwi Posted January 8, 2002 Share Posted January 8, 2002 c7Brown, I have a set of Goodyear f1`s on my GSI vectra, Although i wouldn`t put them on the seven. I had 032`s and they seemed fine in the dry although leathal in the wet, Now i have CR500`S. Mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WILL FLY Posted January 8, 2002 Share Posted January 8, 2002 It depends what you want out of the tyres. If you want them to last forever and give you average grip for road use and not much track use then Goodyears may be OK, although they're designed for tin tops so probably won't work too well with a seven. you don't say how many miles a year you do and how much you want to spend and how long you want the tyres to last. Once you've answered these questions then we can make an educated guess to which tyres you need, otherwise there's too many variables. At least your wheels are about the right size i.e not 15 or 16 inch. See willfly.net for more info.

WILL FLY Posted January 8, 2002 Share Posted January 8, 2002 Just noticed you're in the gool 'ole USofA, this rather changes things. You could go for Toyo Proxes RA-1 which are street legal track tyres which are supposed to be very good check out herefor Toyo Tires. You also need to say which state you're in (because this will affect the weather ) and whether you intend to drive the car in rain/snow or whatever. See willfly.net for more info.

c7brown Posted January 8, 2002 Author Share Posted January 8, 2002 I am in California but my 7 is in Surrey. I use it when in the UK and make about 3-6K miles per year. Use is varied from back roads to motorways for golf trips to Scotland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
