Focus RS: What Tyres?

[asbo]

Ladies/Gents

As above. I am looking to put a set of decent tyres on my RS as it came with a mix n match afair from the garage I bought it from.

What would you lot recomend?

should I stick with the OE Pilot Sports, or try something else?

I've stuck with OE Pilot Sports on mine, can't really fault them for mixed daily driving, although there may well be cheaper tyres that would do just as well. Only real moan would be that the rim protector on the PS really doesn't protect very well - but then I should stop parking like a numpty...

How you liking your new toy otherwise??

Hi

I have Perreli P-zero Rossos on mine. They good value and handle very good wet or dry. And they don't seem to be too soft either...

had michs which were good but wore out unevenly (geometry checked numerous occasion seems just a trait of the tyres) then goodyear f1 which were brill but wore out very quick (only 6k on the front but my driving style probably dont help) tried some yoko pradas which were unbeatable in the dry but soon as rain comes car became a challange to keep on the road and wore out quicker than goodyears tried contis but had to bin them half worn cos they started to fall apart (same thing happenend on my st170)now have a set of nokians (dont laugh i work in a garage and the rep gave them to me for free!) which have done really well surprisingly. They have been as good as the oe michs but not quite as good as the goodyears (lasted longer though) and they are cheap to!


And before you ask track days and santa pod causes very rapid tyre wear

Still running Pilot Sport 1's on mine though the latest batch dont appear to be quite as grippy, perhaps a different compound than before.

They give me pretty good performance all round wet and dry.
