Anees Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Hi guys, Hope everyone is well. I have just bought an Evo after selling my S2000. Info here (hope the link is ok): http://www.outlawjapclub.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=2910 The car at the moment has the standard Yokohama C-Drive 235/45/17 tyres on it. The front tyres on it are abit low and it needs a geometry doing too but I want to get the tyres changed first. I am looking to get a whole new set of tyres for the car. Now I have also joined the MLR (Evo owners club) and the owners on there are raving about Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetric tyres with lots of good reports. I am abit worried about this however because I know Tony doesn't rate them and my very bad experience with them on my BMW (and owners on the BMW club said they were good too) so I don't want to repeat the same mistake. Past thread: http://www.wheels-inmotion.co.uk/forum/ind...?showtopic=4185 Saying that I had them on my S2000 and they were great. I personally have been impressed with the Vredestein Ultra Sessantas I have fitted on my BMW so I am tempted to just go for those. According to MLR Goodyear Assymetrics seem the No1 choice for most road user, with the Michelin PS2 a close second. Any advice appreciated. Thanks, Anees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 I'm not sure you can go wrong with any of the tyres mentioned. They're all top spec premium rubber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anees Posted February 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 True mate..but what I learnt from the last experience is that not all tyres seem to suit all cars, hence why I am more careful this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Well you've done as much groundwork as you can by asking the owners club. From my understanding of the 3 the goodyears will probably be the most comfortable, the Michelins wear the best and the Vredestein give the most direct feel.

Anees Posted February 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Right think I might take a slight (calculated risk!) I have noticed that the Michelin Pilot Sport PS3s are now out and are supposed to be as good as the PS2s in the dry (where they are already just ahead of the Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetrics) and much better in the wet. I think they are worth a bet and I can't see them being a bad tyre - the PS2s are one of the highest rated tyres about but I can't find any reviews for the PS3 hence the slight risk.

jon Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 I think that's a safe bet I look forward to your thoughts, I'd imagine they'll be positive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CIH Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 is it me or does the Pilot Sport3 look too much like an Energy ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tango Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 BOUGHT THEM http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php?plid=m54b0s312p57900 Hopefully they are more sticky then a very sticky thing, stuck to something very sticky! Let us know how they perform Anees. I have Pilot Sport PS2's on my IS-F and they seem OK, but I don't have anything else to compare them against Guess it needs to be 'Apples for Apples' so the IS250 on Toyo T1-R's isn't up for comparison Anyone (Tony?) know if the PS2's are going to be phased out by Mitchellin for the PS3's? Seems logical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
