My MR is on 19" Falkens atm, my first experience of them as I bought CSLs with them part worn & they're far less grippy than the 18" Vred's & a lot stiffer.

Been through about 4 sets of 18" Sessantas.. never thought noise was an issue and the wet weather grip has been astounding, plus they look cool :D

As daz says though they are quite old now so the game should have moved on although this seems to just mean the prices are just as reasonable.

I've got the latest Evo tyre review & I might price up some of the others for a change, but if there's more than £100 in it which I suspect there will be, I'll pull the trigger on a set of 19" Sessantas as I totally trust them :)

My vote goes with Goodyear F1 Asymetricals.They wear well and are great in the wet and dry with no issues with noise.I get more noise from my EBC turbo groove discs than the tyres.

I was interested in these too so quoted them up for 19" CSLs.

235/35/19s 265/30/19s

£690 for the Vreds
£890 for the Goodyears

Are they worth £200 extra? probs not. Getting my Vreds fitted in 3 weeks :thumbsup:
