jules_s3 Posted May 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Thanks Chelsea Mick. Looks like F1's are the ones then...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harj Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 F1's are a great tyre, especially in summer and wet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules_s3 Posted May 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Thanks Harj. Just been quoted £395.32 for all four fitted.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollox Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 17s or 18s? £360 should be easily achievable - that's what I've paid for my last 2 sets from Bracknell Tyre and Battery (225/45 ZR17) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules_s3 Posted May 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 17's. The quote was from Black circles... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea Mick Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Don't know where you are in Essex Jules but Rochford Tyres usually see me allright. £381.36 with an online quote I'm sure you could haggle a bit with them if you phoned or popped down there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durtydurty Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Got mine booked in tommorrow at Tyreland and I got F1's for £360 fitted inc VAT. I was quite pleased with myself!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] So you should be - 3 years ago before I found the £360 quote of Joy, my local Stealer was quite straight-faced in quoting me £660 for the same Tyres Then I found out they would only have them fitted at a local fitter that had already quoted me just over £400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChriS3 Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 I know this has been threaded to death, but the older threads miss out the newer tyres. I'd say that IMO the Yoko Parada Spec 2's are better than the F1's. And for a cheap deal, I've always gone through Black Circles to get a quote, found out where their local fitter was then go to him with an offer.

Keith_S3 Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 [ QUOTE ] Vredestein Ultrac all the way [/ QUOTE ] Heard good things about them but i stick with uniroyal rainsport 1's never let me down on any of the cars i have fitted them to and don't tend to wear as quickly as most that offer the same levels of grip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentley Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 (edited) Mitchelin Pilots every time for me.Had GY's and hated them. Had the new Michelin PS3 fitted at Costco for about £450 (they're doing a special offer 20% off at the the moment) all in. Had Goodyear F1 GS3 previously and the new tyres are tons better. Much quieter and smoother and so much more grippy around the roundabouts and bendy country roads.
