Em135eye · 08-28-2009, 08:21 AM

Eagle F1s are better.

dxb335d · 08-28-2009, 08:27 AM

I've been using either goodyear eagles on my wifes focus and back in day on my leon both worked great with them

dxb335d · 08-28-2009, 04:05 PM

cheers for the input Majic!

I used dunlop sport on my e46 and found the wear rate brilliant but if its a real rocket front wheel drive F1 seem to be better as while they wear faster they offer a lot more grip.

Over last few years I've come to followin conclusion

goodyear Eagle F1 - FWD hothach / soft and tons of grip
goodyear NCT5 - FWD hatch great grip and wear rate not as grippy as f1 though a set lasted on my diesel leon 150bhp for over 25k
Dunlop Sport - had on my e46 and even after 20k they still had tons of grip

if its for your car with track driving in mind then F1 if its pottering to the shops NCT5

hope it helps
