All Round Tyres

[nigelonich]

Any ideas for a tyre that will suit enthusiastic road use for a CSL rather than the cups? I have falken tyres at the moment which have been quite good although the previous owner fitted them. Must be good in the wet as I live in Scottland.

Thanks

Scotland. ... id go for tarmac rally tyres :)

[s.mac]

good year F1's or asymmetric

Uniroyal Rainsport 2's are good in the wet but not so good in the dry

[Yanto]

All round tyres are good. Those square fookers compromise ride, even with OEM suspension :thumbs:

Hi,
Markcsl and I both use Falkens. I thought the Falkens were better than PS2 in the wet and just about as good in the dry. Never tried supersports but for half the price and the roads mainly wet here, Falkens are a good buy. Where in Scotland are you. Cups are probably best for the 2hours annual sunshine it you can change your wheel quick enough

Cheers
Derek

Im in Aberdeen City but use the car to shoot over to the Fort William areas mostly. So on average im halfway between the Lecht and Aviemore!

I might go for another set of Falkens as to be fair they were good so ill avoid brand snobbery. Ill have a sniff about at prices, its damage limitation when buying tyres.

I was using Falkens too, and another mate with an M3 and we both rated them highly, even on track they weren't half bad. Now the car is down to a 3rd car, it stays on Cups all year round. :thumbs:

I used the Falken FK452's on my CSL and i really rated them aswell.

I have heard great things about the Michelin Supersports and they will be the tyres i will be trying next.

Hmmm might have to give these falkens a try. CSL's road rubber is almost on the limit so upon return from the bodyshop I'll need to have the wheels refurbed and new boots fitted.

I recommend Michelin Supersports. Had them on the car for the trip to the Ring last weekend very impressed with them:thumbs:

i remember bealo on his Falkens keeping on my tale at Snetteron (rainy day and me on CUps) so they must be good :)

i liked the Falkens tbh on BEalos the few times i drove it. Wet grip was better than PS2 and dry grip not quite so good, the tyres seemd a bit too hard in the dry.

They will not be as grippy as PSS

Just so you know

Falken Rear £170 each
Super Sport Rear £260 each

Think that was on mytyres

the super sports have a nice chequred CSL pattern on the side wall though....

[Graham]

Eagle F1's are a great all rounder!

[billyboysm3]

Also got Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetrics all round. Great wet grip.

So I went for Super Sports.

As of today Fronts were £190 each from Elite and rears were £234 each from Camskill.

Shame they couldnt be bought from the same place but the saving was decent by using different sources.

These are supply only prices.

I have a part worn set of Falkens if you need to pass an MOT....
