Replacing tyres

I'm going to head down to wakefield later this month to finish off my runflats. Will be looking to replace them with normal tyres afterwards. Got quoted $192 for the Goodyear F1 GSD3, which seems pretty good compared with $300+ for runflats.

Red Cooper

what can i say, changed my run flats 4 weeks ago, toyo transpath mp sports imported
from Japan for $145.00 balanced per wheel. Did the early morning sunday run. tires handle very well.

Should have done it years ago, now have a much softer ride now.

PS buy your self a punch kit at super cheap and a cheap compresser.


good luck

I'm using this at the moment, and it is proving very helpful - although there is so much bloody choice, it's gonna be a bugger to make a final choice!!

True that, I only wish I did all that looking up before I bought my Potenza GIIIs.

Thanks for the link. I've only got 16s, so the F1 seems to be the pick of the bunch.

I just fitted some Pirelli Dragons and they completely transform the car from the Nexens I was running. These Dragons are the business, mighty sticky!
