could you tell what was on the back bridgestone or michies, as i had p zero on the back and michies on the fronts and the rears are shot and was planning on getting bridgestone for the rears

[R80TER]

bridgestones were on the rear and to be honest, they are crap imho. in the wet the are not much short of dangerous. (to be fair the tread is low, but legal)

[markymark34]

Ive just put 2 255 Goodyear eagle asymetric's on the rear of mine and they have a decent level of grip in the wet and are excellent in the dry. No complaints plus far nicer ride than with RFTs/

[magic77]

In past I've run on Dunlop Sp9000 on my e46 and they lasted ages including a ring trip around 30K on them and still had decent enough thread to sell them on with teh car

Before Eagle F1s and NCT5s

F1s are great in wet but very soft so only last around 10k on a front wheel drive car, NCT great in wet and dry and last much longer amazing comparing to bridgestone rfts

[Yahoo]

I have swapped to Eagle F1s - a great tyre, only criticism is that they are a bit noisy.

[R80TER]

well first impressions are good! a good level of grip in the wet and the ride is so much smoother!! i can now not worry about dislodging a disc in my back when i go over small potholes, road noise seems to be down and in general i am very happy!

Had the tracking done too and the toe on the front was out, so happy days. now £540 lighter though...

oh forgot! i got a 2for1 cinema pass valid unlimited for 3 months for buying goodyears too! happy days!

That's great! Now all you need to do is find a good movie to use it on. Good luck in the hunt.

You have had the same day as me!!!!! I have just changed my Bridgestone RFT's today for Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetrics.

Only driven home with them on at the moment so a full review will be posted after the weekend.

freaky man!! did you get cinema tickets though?? lol

[iBeech]

I've currently got RFTs on. If i switch to non rfts, do you get a warning light on the dash for RFT?

Is there anything special other than buying the right tyre and take it to the garage for em to fit?

No warning lights etc, nothing.

Pretty much so, yes. Enjoy.

The warning light comes on when the pressure in one of the tyres drops below a set level or the rotational speed of a tyre differs by a set amount, depending upon the type of system your car has. It makes no difference what the structure of the tyre is (RFT or non-RFT). If you change tyres, though, the system needs to be reset, probably because of a difference in pressures before and after. I had to do so each time I swapped out my wheels whether it was the rotational method or with the TPMS xmitters (I've had both systems).

No I didnt!!!!!

Saying that I did get the Goodyears fitted at a good price and I probably wouldnt have used the free cinema tickets...

Im on 18" wheels and I paid £489 for four Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetrics + £9.80 delivery + £20 to have them fitted. All in £518

I got my tyres from www.camskill.co.uk who were the cheapest by a country mile.

How and where do you get this reset, and what happens if you dont?..

[Dr Dave]

It's all in the manual.

Even my wife sussed it out!

Camskill dont seem to do the 19s
Checked on blackcircles and they are £215 each ! Cant believe 1" is so much more expensive. Extra £370 quid for a set?
