Im on my 3rd set of eagle F1's GSD3's this year my first lot encountered and road full of nails and all had to be replaced due to the nails hitting the sidewall, cost £400, got my new set and they where too big for my 850 so sold them to get 215/35/18 profile and then got rid of my car and got the C70and needed the bigger 225/40/18 tyres ahem! another £400.

On the day I got married I got another flat tyre which was plugged up

Grippy and look great. Great wear, but unlucky for me I guess.

I'm looking at getting some Hankook ventus prime K105 xl ones. Just wondering if anyone had used these and what there thoughts were.

I found somewhere that sells the toyo t1-r for not much more. 9dont want to spend more then £60 a tyre as just paid the car tax ( and got to get 2 new front shocks)

I'm just after a tyre that handles well in all weather conditions and that the tread wear is good. I'm thinking the tread wear is alot better in the hankooks then the toyo's, and the hankooks grip pretty well in all conditions fromt he reviews i've read.
HI
I'm sure that working for the NHS you qualify for membership at Cost Co they only fit Michelin but they are a lot cheaper than anywhere else. They are also good tyres. DOH just read your other post woth knowing anyway with christmas coming up
