One of my tyres is on the legal limit and the other 3 have 2mm on them.
Thinking of replacing them all at the same time to Eagle F1's but wondered what everyone else is using?
205/45/17 is my tyre sizes. Any suggestion's to tyres that you find really good?

im using Kuhmos at £100 a corner... wouldnt recommend them if you drive fast.
i have heard good things with the Toyos T1s though

I have toyos, they're very good, plenty of grip, and high speed ratings.

Go for the Eagle F1s, they are longer lasting than the Toyos (especially on the front) and perform better in the wet. Not that the Toyos are bad, far from it! I have absolutely no complaints whatsoever, love 'em. But with Britain having about 342 rainy days a year, you need your wet grip

But you can't beat a little sliding now and again

I have GY Eagle Ventura 205/45-16 in summer time and Nokian Hakkapeliitta 1 185/60-14 in winter time (probably you´ve never heard of those?)
I think the Venturas are the best tires I´ve ever had and such a shame it´s an old range of tires and not available anymore. Gotta think of something the next time I buy tires.....???
