bugger - smack a pothole last night that ripped a golf ball hole in one of the rears, so the tyre gum and inflator weren't much use - hobbled home the last 10 miles at slow speed

Currently it's running on Goodyear Eagle F1's EMT, which seem pretting good - however I was wondering if anyone have recommendations or comments about swapping to Brigestones S03's or Toyo Proxies ?

(I've got S03's on the porsche and Toyo's in the mini - both excellent tyres)

In the light of day i realise that they are the runflats - only reason why i could get home last night - but think I'll move to the Toyo's, there are some good reports on the US forums about the Proxies. Though strangely nothing about the S03's

Sorry to hear about your hole!

I got my C5 Z06 tyres from North Hants Tyres (01252-318666) as for John or Paul. I got the Kumho Ecsta non-runflats rears are about £150 each and fronts about £80 each. NHT usually have these in stock or can get them within a couple of days, also NHT give a CCCUK discount so I hope you are a member!

thanks vetteheadracer

I think I'm going to go for the Toyos - I've got them on my mini (i know not very similar) but the handling and grip was so improved from moving away from Runflats i think it's worth a go
