who\'s got goodyear f1\'s

[t2rew]

who\'s got them and whats the verdict. ??

im not over impressed with mine. while going round the outside of a porsche on a curved duel carrageway a traffic jam appeared before me. the porka just stopped. i was doing my best impression of a car with abs by pumping the peddle so as not to leave the side of the road. (it was a curved road) i did stop but the tyre smoke was imence. i couldnt see a thing behind me.

although i was happy to be going around the porka it was lost in the embaresment of all that smoke. :reallymad

right now im not sure if they are any grippier than the old 205\'s that were on there before. what do the people with them think of them? should i buy slicks? should i slow down ?

the stop was in about 70 yards from flat out halfway through 3rd ( well within the speed limit) :spank

mine\'s got them all round on the stock T2 wheel,  i found them quite good but i\'m only comapring them to the kumo\'s that were on my FD.  They have quite a good reputation i thought.

I like them, but then id never think I can outbrake a Porsche.

those dunlops dont come in my size.

im compairing them with the 5 year old continental contacts 205/55/16. these things are 235/40/17 and 255/40/17. now the old tyres would slide out under power and it would lock up under hard braking. these new ones really dont feel much better. im going to experament with pressure\'s to see if i can make them stick a bit better. a mate of mine with a 993 porsche has p-zeros and he said his tyres become much better once warmed up on a track and im hoping mine will be the same.
my car wont be finished till it CAN out brake a porsche.

g11ary, those hawk pads are much better. can you e-mail me a bill for them please.

Porka\'s need good stopping power, else you could land yourself in a bit of a problem.  :eek

We have them on Sarah\'s FC and my GTR and I can\'t fault them and Sarah says they are very good on the rex.
