I always swore by Uniroyal Rainsports on my performance cars in the past, apart from my Rover track/weekend car which I just drove around on Toyo R888 track tyres because I didn't use it daily. That said jacq's T4 does very well on the eagle F1's, approx 400 bhp and even in the current very cold very greasy roads its useable at full throttle and boost with these on. 1st and 2nd, and to an extent 3rd if it's not completely dry take abit of finesse but handling and braking wise they are great and in a standard power T4 your not going to stress them power delivery wise either. Id go with the eagles if I was you.

The German ADAC web site has some good test data on most tyre sizes:
http://www.adac.de/infotestrat/tests...SourcePageId=0 In general terms Continental and Dunlop seem to give the best wet and dry braking distance figures, although Goodyear and Michellin are very similar in many cases. Every tyre size gives different results in terms of which type is best and they even vary from year to year. |

Just fitted Michellin Pilot Sports to my 1998 V70R. What a difference. Some numpty before had put Greenstone Sport tyres on there, budget. By Christ it took them a while to get the tracking right though...
