Well i certainly didn't buy fakes through Demon Tweeks and they came up too trumps and undercut Tegiwa by quite a long way.

Many thanks to the lads at Demon Tweeks

As for the snide remark about tyres, I've just this very moment taken order of a pair of brand new Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetric 2's. Straight from Germany. Some £20 a corner cheaper than UK retailers. So get off your high horse and stop making assumptions on someone you don't know
Why F1A2. Very poor on the S2000.

In your humble opinion.

These are the XL variant with stiffer sidewalls.

Dry and wet grip is fantastic and they're compliant for road use and when you want a firmer ride just up the pressure.

When on their limits they breakaway gradually and progressively which I like.

To each their own.

I know plenty of s2000 owners that geton great with theirs and for the money I think they're very hard to beat.

Sorry but they're poor. They ruined my Evo which is less tyres sensitive than the S2000.

As per my previous post.

In your humble opinion. My friends Evo 8 running 420bhp was absolutely fantastic on F1's.

I dare say I've probably tried more tyres than most on their S2000's.

-Bridgestone Turanza Er300's, RE050's
-Continental Contisport 1, 2, 3 & 5
-Pirelli P zero Nero's
-Michelin primacy hp's.

None of them were a patch on the F1's.

You're probably the only person that has anything ill to say of them.

All poor tyres for a sports car.

Try AD08R. Then thank me later.

I got AD08R's on the way for my rims. And if the AD08's I had a few years back are anything to go by they'll be great! I've also liked the Toyo Proxes T1R's which were good too. Haven't tried the F1's but I've never had 17" rims before.
