Default Tyres Again

The effects of the last Academy Day have finally caught up with me and I need to replace the boots.

I read a stack of posts to find which make are considered best and came across a poll taken last September which put the Bridgestone S02 (S2000 specific) way in front. I've posted this poll to see if opinions have changed before I lay out some more hard earned cash

I'm happy with my F1's, but am tempted next year to get a set of SO2's again for the summer.

I am happy with my F1's but I am not getting a lot of miles out of them My last set of rears lasted 4500miles and my current set will need replaced soon and that will be more like 4000miles I get out of them.

I only ever drive the car for fun though.

The next set I buy is likely to be F1 GS-D3's though I may consider Toyo Proxies

You must REALLY rag the car to get so few miles out of them, Steven!

My first set of F1 rears were changed after around 8,500 miles (by which point they were barely legal). My current set of rears are around 8,000 old and have got a reasonable amount of life in them yet. The difference is that this set hasn't been tracked, I'd guess.

Do they make them in the right size yet?

I put these on the Scoob and they transformed the car

How many of the people that have voted for "Bridgestone S02 - Happy" have tried another tyre on their S?

Happy with the SO2 (s2000 specific) ones. Waiting to see what the winter driving will be like with them.
