Dave Haggas Posted November 17, 2006 Author Share Posted November 17, 2006 Well had the F 1s fitted this morning.Havent tried any heroics yet,let them bed in first!As far as looks go they look wider than the Pirellis,esp on the rear as they have a lip on the sides so the tyre is now wider than the rim.The old tyres looked odd as the rim was wider than the tyre. Price wise total cost was £395.00:( ,But got over the shock now;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveR Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Well mine lasted over 15,000 miles including a track day... Simon/Bobbeh/anyone else who mainly drives road but visits the odd track on the same tyres - what do you recommend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Price wise total cost was £395.00:( ,But got over the shock now;) £395 for a whole set? seems well cheap, I'm in need of a new set too, and F1s look promising. May I ask where you got them from and what sizes let us know what you thing of their performance once you've had a chance to bed them in and test them out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supragaz Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Just treated myself to a new set of F1's all round (245/40/18 front & 275/40/18 rear) as I had a slow puncture on front ns tyre and treads were getting low. Love the look and grip they offer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike B Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 £395 for a whole set? seems well cheap, I'm in need of a new set too, and F1s look promising. May I ask where you got them from and what sizes Pretty sure that's just for 2 - certainly that kind of money for 19's. If it's for 4 then I'll have 5 sets please!!

SimonB Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Set of 4 in stock sizes should be around £400. I use 245 40 18s and 275 35 18s and a set costs about £600. They're pretty good value. Micheldever are usually the cheapest if you're anywhere near - my last couple of sets I got from Christchurch Tyres as they're only £10 or so more expensive and just round the corner from me.
