Type R Tyre Choice

[P1H]

Thinking in advance.....

What types for an EP3 represent a good balance between price and performance?

Probably toward the lower end of the price spectrum.

Goodyear assymetric 2's XL are very good IMO.

What sort of price are you looking to pay?

Don't see the point of running a car such as the EP3 and skimping on tyres. Put the best on it IMO.

EP3 always ran well on Potenza's!

went with FK452's on the front - the rears refuse to wear lol! So far so good. Very slippy during the first 200 miles, but broke in nicely. Also quite cheap! Type-R does not like soft sidewall tyres, imho, I had Toyo T1R's on the front before and the car felt a lot more "floppy". FK452's are much stiffer. Since FN2 has no spare wheel maybe should consider runflats - even stiffer sidewall.


(edit: just noticed EP3 - but FN2 is not much heavier, so similar rules should apply)

You should try the Bridgestone RE070's think they are about £99 each now.

I'm running some Matadors on the front at the moment, they are a bit stiff when cold but progressive enough to keep you out of trouble. They would be st on a track day, but they have certainly made my driving smoother on changeable road conditions. Seemingly they are wearing very well too.
