Anyone else like to contribute?

What are they like in the dry / wet compared to the OE S02's?

Would they have to be 34 or 36psi?

I hear Dark Horse Remoulds from Korea are really inexpensive...

I don't understand this fixation on price. Get the best tyres you can afford as cheaply as you can. I think its worth spending that bit extra (a couple fewer beers on a Friday night, or one less packet of cigarettes) on the car I (a) value and/or (b) enjoy driving... if you don't you risk either the car or the enjoyment.

I had them for a while... thought they were ok at the time but when I put my F1 GSD3's on I realised they really are soggy... as soggy as a digestive left overnight in a cup of tea which was repeatedly heated... in fire... fire from Mount Doom.

Erm, yeh they are soggy.

yeh the sidewalls can be a little flexi, i used them on the teg for wet track use, then put them on my wifes S they seem to be as good as anything else outthere, However, as i knew about the sidewalls i got them in 18 instead of 17 as there is muxh less sidewall to flex.

Looks like I'll go for the RE050's then.

What are the F1's like? Are they better than the S02's and RE050's?
