so can the stock 16 inch rims fit 225/50/16??

hi ppl,

am after opinions of having to choose between : [195/50/15]

Goodyear F1 Eagle GS-D3 $160ea
vs
Toyo Proxes T1-R $150ea
???

I have tried both in that size and would recommend the T1R. Main problem with F1 is that it screechs and squeals when going hard. The F1 feels a bit more precise and direct, but the T1R does feel a bit grippier.

Goodyear F1 Eagle GS-D3 for $160ea??? ive got quoted 110 fitted and balanced.

Goodyear F1 Eagle GS-D3 don't have much grip.
They have extremely soft sidewalls. They have alot of side to side movement. They are however very progressive when they loose grip.

well im in sydney, but that is a much better price.

i guess that's one of the good things about this thread. As every
tyre retailer has different prices, you at least can find out if you're
paying waaaay too much for a tyre, getting a good deal, or somewhere
inbetween.

thanks guys for the opinions.

appreciate it.
the tyres needing replacement, actually are T1R's. Have no qualms with them.

what size where your tyres, as the size changes the price

also where are you getting you t1r's from as i want to get them and at 150 im stoked

Lol, still no luck with any G3's or C.Drives (195/55/15) for under $150... best quote was $165 a piece...

Hi Arron,

Try to call them, http://www.magwheel.com.au/

Look for costa or theo.. I am sure they can send some tyres up to nsw or get some for you with not extra charge.

Tell him u need Z212 same as S2.

Btw I just got a few sets of tyres from them for my mates....

hankooks = Z212.

225 40 17 $220
235 45 17 $215
215 45 17 $195

they quoted me around $210 each...

cheers mate,

but already got some new tyres on my car..
got G3's for a very good deal through a mate..

thanks for your help though...
hopefully others will use your input to good use!

I got quoted 220 for 15s for the goodyears! I used to have T1Rs and they were very good tyres. Grippy in dry and wet and they are very predictable. But you do need to keep the pressure up on these tyres.
