new tyres for c70 T5

Hi,

I know this is a topic which has been visited a couple times, but I am thinking of getting Michelin Pilots on my 98 C70 T5 coupe (17inch wheels). I am prepared to pay up to about AU$300 per corner, and have been told about Pirelli's Rossos (which are a bit more) - any suggestions or recommendations?

thanks

Kieran

Hi Kieran,

A Volvo driver in Oz?! You must get some stick! I travel to Perth frequently and people are always taking the mick out of me for being a Volvo driver.

Goodyear Eagle F1's are great. Excellent wet grip too.

i just fitted 4 new good year f1 eagles to my 850R after exhaustive research. they are amazing tyres, it's like driving a different car.

I was very unimpressed with PZeros, I know Rossos are said to be slightly better, but I would use Michelin PS, bridgestone or goodyear F1 in preference.

Thanks guys - I will look into the Eagle F1

Eagle F1 is the only tyre as most have said, they are impressive, i have experienced the odd shower in perth and if you get pirellis there will be one experience for you and it wont be on tarmac i think

Eddie,

Perth WA or Perth Scotland?

If Perth WA it's a shame I did not know sooner - I'm more or less finished in Perth now so any Australia trips are usually to ACT and NSW.
