I need to change my front tyres, they have been on the same wheels for about 10 years now and are showing a little bit of cracking.

 

I have Bridgestone S-02 on the rear, anybody recommend some good Bridgestones or other make for the front?

 

They are 235x40x18 I think.

I believe that the FK452 has actually been discontinued and rev'd up to the 453 - lots of avenues don't hold any stock of the 452 anymore.

 

I've recently put on Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric (245/35/18) and they are great tyres. I wish that I made the change to them sooner than I did - much better handling.

 

As for Toyo (T1R & T1S), I had them on my old VW and didn't rate their wet performance in the slightest. In the dry they were good though. :)

If I could match an S-02 then I would!! Cannot really afford to scrap 2 excellent rear tyres to get to a matched set, and its been unmatched for about the last 5 years so it should be fine. I like all the grip to be on the rear, I wont corner hard in the wet, but I will accelerate hard and need good rears for that.

 

Almost nothing recommended from the Bridgestone range, do they not have a class leading tyre now?
