El Andrew Gold Donating Members 2,019 Member For: 9y 2d Gender: Male Location: Canberra ACT Posted 30/01/21 04:16 AM Share Posted 30/01/21 04:16 AM My Invos are almost toast so I'm in the market for something new for my FG. Didn't mind the Invos - got 25k out of them but found them a bit average in the wet. Car is still a daily for now, with the cruise etc so want so want something grippy but not that will shred too quickly. Pricing on Invos at the moment mean it is worth looking at other options. About $220 compared to $180 last time. Other tyres on my short list are: Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetric - heard good think about these, are about $290. Haven't seen much on this site about them though. Bridgestone RE003 - about $250. Guy at the local Bridgestone reckons he has them on his modded FG and they grip well and he gets 40k out if them. Have seen elsewhere they wear pretty quick. Anyone with any recent thoughts or experiences on any of these? I reckon I'm leaning slightly towards giving the RE003s. Might be the last set of daily tyres I get for it as considering buying another car for the commute in the next year or so, in which case I'd probably get PilotSport 4S next time and save them for he twisties.

I work for good year so naturally I would suggest them. the asymmetric 5s are good all rounder for daily for sure. Pilot sports 4s are up there but also goodyear developed a competitor called the supersport and both are very similar and go head to head alot with not much between them, end of the day I say get whichever you get the best deal on. but the goodyear has slightly better wet performance than the pilot sport. a bridgestone dealer would of course have a potenza its the only grippy tyre they have lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to spend more the PS4's are the way to go you can find them around $215-230 these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every tread pattern and compound is different though so I'm probably being unfair. Unfortunately the PS4 doesn't seem to be in stock anywhere at a sensible price.Will be good R&D at any rate.

I think they are made at a different place than the others. The guy I bought tyres from was the same only FM800 rest are crap. But anyways. They are just good bang for buck. Better than any of the even 'good' Chinese stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With over 300 at the wheels it was sketchy to say the least. They only stayed on the car about two weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
