They are made in Holland, and the reviews based on 12 tests 6 in the wet and 6 in the dry ive see are very good beating the "named brands" ie Pirelli, goodyear, dunlop, Toyo etc etc Prices are a slightly more expensive than Falcons

Tread looks VERY similar to the Goodyear F1s :) Must be good as they're about the best tyre you can get for the Supe ;)

 

Yeah I have seen these advertised in car mags here in Holland and thought exactly that about the tread pattern. From the ad picture the texture looks very similar to the eagle f1. Wouldn't surprise me if it was a made under license copy or something like that. I would buy my tyres here but they are so sodding expensive. I will be ordering two falkens from camskill later on today or tomorrow £116 each for 275 35 18 452's not bad seeing as I paid over £200 each for the pirrelis that only lasted about 3000 miles.

 

i changed from f1s to potenzas and find these very grippy;)

 

Yeah I used these at first on my first supra, better grip in the dry than the eagle f1 but the wet performance is not so good. That said they have gone through at least one evolution since I used them. They tend to be more expensive than F1's as well

I got some Marangoni Mythos tyres, well priced and perform well (had never heard of them before)

 

Budget tyres afaik mate. Have you had any other tyres previous to compare against?

 

Not slating them as i've not tried them personally, but my mate has them on his S3 and is far from convinced.

Can you talk about these in this thread: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=121244 and add another write up in a couple of thousand miles? Those tires look good, but I'm curious how they shed water to the outside. It looks like the water would get trapped in those grooves in the middle.

 

Which Potenzas? I've just ordered the 960 Pole Positions as they are supposed to be very good in the wet.

they came on the rims i got reacently...not bad for a budget tyre, enuf for some very spirited driving and equally good in the wet, they are easy to tell when your near the limit.. but they will never be in the same league as potenzas etc but then there no where near the price.

leaving them on there 4 now..when they wear down i will go to potenzas as ive been in a couple of sups now with these and there nothing short of emence!

I've just put Potenzas all round on my Supe and the grip is in a completely different league to the Kuhmo Ecsta Supras and Sportivas that were on it before. Fantastic tyres!
