i didnt have eagle f1s on my integra but i was going to get some but was warned not to by people on the integra forum as the side walls are soft. the car came with falken ze??? tyres but where not very good so went for hankook rs2 tyres on recommendations and they are great.

Value is not what they cost, it's whether it's worth spending the money on them.

Also bear in mind, there are a lot of problems with just saying how many out of 5, but it's just a guide and not particularly scientific. It will however, get all the comments about particular tyres in one place which threads that people make when they're thinking about buying don't do as effectively.

Percentages would have been better. Possibly too pedantic though.

3/5 = 60% easy as that


I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

Sunny tyres = 0 for eveything.

When people say durability is this based on lowered cars with tyre wear on the inside or just general tyre wear?

Listed them all, but not too happy with the way it plays out on there.

I now have the data so I'll work with it to get them rated and some guide prices etc.
