ancullen Posted October 20, 2005 Report Posted October 20, 2005 I just bought two tyres for Lola (due to one being viciously punctured and me feeling a need to have tyres matching to a point). I got Goodyear Eagle F1's in 195/50 R15 from my local Beaurepaires. Now I was quoted $120 per tyre, which is what a mate paid for his in the same size only a couple of weeks back, but when I went to pay, both tyres, including fitment only cost a total of $230, so the tyres were only $105 each!!! :thumbsup: I was quite happy to pay $120 each, but $105 seems a real bargain! And it's much better than paying $280/tyre just to get Yokohama A032R's, even if they are super-dooper grippy. The Eagle F1 shouldn't be too bad, and the mate that bought some said he thought they felt quite grippy enough for track work. Of course, I'll still buy some A032R's one day. Just not any day soon. :D Quote
ancullen Posted October 20, 2005 Author Report Posted October 20, 2005 NOTE: I didn't use any discounts of any kind, not even a discount for being so damn good looking. This price is available to anyone. I don't know if it's nation-wide or just up here, but I think it's worth looking into if you're after tyres. Quote
Super Jamie Posted October 20, 2005 Report Posted October 20, 2005 eagle F1s are an alright tyre, they're certainly not shit yokohama ac01 c-drives are better, but you get what you pay for Quote
ancullen Posted October 22, 2005 Author Report Posted October 22, 2005 Never heard of those Yoko's before. Are they street sport type tyres or are they more of a racing semi-slick sort of thing? Quote
irokin Posted October 22, 2005 Report Posted October 22, 2005 Slightly offtopic Falken RT-215 Azenis semi slicks are....now discontinued :harhar: but you might be able to pickup some end of line bargains? I think theyre being replaced by the RT-615...but i don't like the new tread pattern...http://www.eurostyleseast.com/mmSTORE/Imag...azenissport.jpg Quote
ancullen Posted October 22, 2005 Author Report Posted October 22, 2005 You don't like the new tread pattern because it looks weird, or because you don't think it'll perform as well? Quote
irokin Posted October 22, 2005 Report Posted October 22, 2005 yea I just don't like how it looks. It LOOKS like theres less rubber but there probably isnt. I guess it will perform as good if not better as the RT-215 because falken takes their development seriously. Quote
Super Jamie Posted October 22, 2005 Report Posted October 22, 2005 it doesn't look as cool as the old one nor does the yoko ac01 sucks to own good new tyres :harhar: Quote
