Tyres

[niro06]

No idea about r888 but t1r's are poor in the wet, don't let anyone else tell you they're not because they are. Ive had a few tyres on my gti's now and t1r's are definitely scariest in the wet and thats compared to some shite ones like nankangs.

Sorry mate dont agree i find them fine in the wet,just my opinion worth fuck all I know but my opinion none the less

R888's are supposed to be better in the wet than anyother top brand tyre in the dry...but they will only last 3000 miles.

after going from paradas to budget tyres on the new wheels (were meant to have toyos, long story), i wouldnt recommend paradas to anyone.

on a dry warm day in the middle of summer there brilliant, in the wet you would be better on just about any budget crap, and even in the dry on a cold day there not great, its only when there warm that they really come alive, oh and nearly dead, so if you have got about 2mm left in the middle of summer on the 1 hot day of the year, you will love them.

Quick thread hijack:O

Can anyone recommend tyres that are good in the wet and have a decent lifespan?

 

[inahole]

The Avons i have just put on have passed the wet weather test today, as for lifespan, should be ok but i seem to lean on em a bit so...

^Thanks David, have you had those before?^
Between those, the Avons, and the trusty Goodyear NCT5 for me I think.
