Depends on your price range really I guess, Toyo T1's are good value but not at the premium end. Maybe go for what Honda fit as standard? I don't know what they are however because I've got the "Rages".

Dimplyred · 1st July 2008, 18:14

They are fitted with Bridgestones as standard. Have you worn the original tyres out Kahmed?

kahmed87 · 1st July 2008, 18:15

no only done 3000 miles on the standard tyres

Pottsy · 1st July 2008, 18:16

The tyre that does well in all the tests at the moment is the Goodyear F1 Asymmetric (F1A). You may want something stickier though if track days are on the list of duties.

If you are not thinking of fitting them to your new wheels, Falken FK452 tyres are getting some good reviews, in the intermediate brand section.

As has been said already it all depends on your price range

kahmed87 · 1st July 2008, 18:20

have been offered yoko pradas for 70 pound good or bad tyre

Dimplyred · 1st July 2008, 18:21

Yokohama tyres are normally quite good, have a search on the internet though and read some independant reviews on that specific tyre.

kahmed87 · 1st July 2008, 18:21

price not issue just want the best for my money no reason for paying over the odds

Dimplyred · 1st July 2008, 18:24

Have a look at this: Yokohama Parada Spec-2 Tire Reviews & Ratings - Rate or Review a Tire

Pottsy · 1st July 2008, 18:24

EVO tyre test results:

They scored each tyre in 5 categories - wet handling, aqua planing, braking, dry handling and a road test to judge comfort. They also back up the raw time data with subjective reviews on how the tyres felt which counted for 40% of the score.

The results:
1) Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric
2) Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta
3) Continental Contisport Contact 3
4) Bridgestone Potenza RE050-A
5) Michelin Pilot Sport PS2
6) Pirelli PZero Nero
7) Kumho Ecsta STP KU31
8) Dunlop Sport Maxx
9) Yokohama S.Drive

thanks dimplyred

thanks pottsy

Contisport 3 are really hard wearing

K20A · 3rd July 2008, 13:36

Use the T1-R before, very good grip on both dry and wet. The only down side is too soft on the sidewall. The honda std BS RE050 is a very good tyres, with them only 2 track days still very strong on the sidewall, but need time to warm it up. I will choose the Yoko Parada or try the Toyo PX4 (harder sidewall) if I was you. Hope this help.

BTW £70 for Parada is a very good price for 18"
