Mockngbrd Supersonic March 5, 2008 Share March 5, 2008 TOmpang this tread... been surfing around alot for new tyres.... my budget for each piece is below $200 a piece. Need some help and advise if possible... so far, i've a few choices.... Goodyear F1 heard very conflicting reviews on this tyre... so not too sure yet, apparently those sold are "Made in Thailand"... so not too confidence inspiring... with some online reviews complaining of lumps developin in the tyres after not too long.... BUT, does anyone here have this tyre and how does it stack up with regards to others? It's well within budget tho.... Hankooook EVO S1 Read some rather good online reviews for this, Hankook's flagship street tyre, but does anyone have it? It's on the highest side of my budget tho, so is it worth the $$$? Falken ZE912 Seems like this is a pretty new tyre, so not much reviews on it.... anyone has tried it b4? Another tyre on the higher side of my budget but not as much as the Hankooooks. So far, these are the 3 i've shortlisted... still on the lookout for more... suggestions are welcome. Any suggestions for tyres from other makes? What Yokohamas / Pirellis fall within this price range? Priorities are Handling, Wet weather Handling and wear rate.... not bothered if it's noisy..... (Tried out Federals too on my previous E30, not too keen to hav em on the E36, cos price wise, i dun mind adding in more for other makes) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodyear already officially rebutted the rumours that F1 tyres made in whichever countries are of different quality and standard. They even challenged those who made false claims. I think you can say the tyre is no good but you can't say that F1 made in a specific country is lousy lor. Hankook Evo would also be a good choice.

Akula Turbocharged March 7, 2008 Share March 7, 2008 one question, will 245/40/17 tyres fit on my 17 x 7.5 rims? Yes, although ideally should be 8", 7.5" is still within tolerance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyke Supercharged March 7, 2008 Share March 7, 2008 one question, will 245/40/17 tyres fit on my 17 x 7.5 rims? probably not as the width of the tyre is about 5cm wider than the width of the rim. check the specs for the specific tyre to see the recommended rim width range, for eg: http://www.bridgestonetire.com/tireselecto...Product_ID=1113 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
