looking to replace all my tyres want some really good tyres i currently have parada spec 2's and while they are good in the dry they are for jobby in the wet.

Edit ,,,,Oh yeah they are going to have to put up with a substantial hp increase

I'm about to get new all around to.

On the ad08 now.

Probably going to try ad08r next.

The Rainsport 3s are great but they have the worst wear rate of any Tyre ever in the history of pre ky jelly.
I get 7k out of the fronts on my van.

Bridgestone seo2 seem to be a hit with tuff tyre walls, helping cornering.
And also eagle f1's are my personal fav. Done over 25,000miles On a set. And great in rain too

I spanked a set of avon zz3 on the bimmer like they were $10whores and I was feeling punchy. Great allrounder, got my sub 10mins on the nurburgring and lasted really really well. Couldn't fault them.

I've used them on my daily like forever...... Audit Quattro 2.5tdi and missus 3.0tdi , Feel like a premium tyre tho midrange price...way better than falkens!

Had falkens on my rx8 when I had it. They were ok. Caused the car to suffer understeer followed by really aggressive snap-oversteer. I've just ordered a set of Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetric 2s for the Honda. Will give them a review once I've done a few miles on them

I fitted a set of these on my 5th Gen after two sets of budget tyres

Eagle F1's transformed the ride and really reduced road noise , very happy with them

Pretty sure @Merlin rates the Falkens

I've got Falkens on the back axle of my Type S which were fitted by Sam when he owned it. I need to get new front tyres and have been thinking about Avons as I had them on the previous Lude and had no problems with them.
