Just a radom question to see what treads people use on there cars.

Seems to be such a wide choise out there and just wanted to hear peeps thoughts.

I run Goodyear F1s on the front and budgets on the rear, Fedrals

Due to the camber I run on the back I eat tyres, plus I find the feds do a bloody good job

I have T1-R's on mine all round, and when warmed up they are so awesome. Even with my beep geometry that's completely off, i'm often surprised at how much grip there is.

Cold they really are not so good though. Better then most others that have been warmed up, but you can defianitly tell the difference between warm T1-R's and cold ones.

GTR came with falkens which I hated on the GTST, I must say for the money they work really well on the GTR.

Haven't managed to try different brands on the same car except when I switched to Pirelli's (P Zero's) and they were brilliant.. trade off is they were soft... although I don't think many tyres would stand up to continual burn outs Laughing
