Goodyear Eagle F1's fitted

Post by FabZ4 » Sat Mar 28, 2015 1:24 pm

I was following recent treads on non RFT's and decided to make the change to Goodyear Eagle F1's. For anyone else thinking of this I can certainly say that the ride is much smoother and feels more stable and predictable when changing direction and, of course, it's a lot quieter. It may be just new rubber but it feels like the car grips the road better too. I 'm glad I switched :driving:

What have you done in case of a puncture?

So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with. :thumbsup:

Spent £25 on a 12v air compressor and a can of tyre puncture repair sealant. I read recently that most breakdown recovery calls are from people who have punctures and don't know that the car does not have a spare wheel since most manufactures don't supply one! I also have an Audi A1 and that only comes with a can of repair sealant so at least I have a chance of re-inflating a tyre on the Zed with the compressor.

The Kumho winter runflats supplied with mine have very little traction. Fifth gear at 100+ mph the traction light keeps blaring at me. Even in seventh very briefly. Can't wait for my rear Supersports to arrive.
