Thread resurrection!

So how were the tyres? I\'m looking at these as they\'re just under £80 a pop rather than the £103 for F1s...   a mate of mine with a P1 has bought a set and reckons they\'re good but I wouldn\'t mind a bit of extra conformation.

Running these Falkens on mine and I\'m impressed with them.  Best value for money tyres I have brought and seem to handle the power pretty well too!

Really pleased with them to be honest - I was worried that they would lack grip but have noticed no difference betwene them and the Avon ZZ1\'s (I think) that where on before.

Bang for buck they have got to be pretty much the best.  :driving
