Four questions for you all.

1/. Do you have an F or a TF?
2/. What tyres are you currently running.
3/ What tyres would you use as replacements?
4/. Do your current rear tyres have a reinforced sidewall(extra load)? ie. What is the load rating eg 86XL. (This info is on the tyre sidewall after the size. e.g. 215/40/16 86XL

I'll start. :yesnod:

1/. I have an F

2/ I currently run Nexen 6000 on the rear and Uniroyal Rainsport2 on the front.

3/. I f I was looking for value for money I would fit Nexen 6000 all around. For best grip I will be fitting Rainsport 2 all around.

4/. Yes 86XL

1. Mk1 F
2. Toyo Proxes all round, Front 185 55 15 82V (code PXT1R - Made in Malaysia) Rear 205 50 15 89V (code PXT1R Made in Japan) - all bought at the same time!
3. Probably stay with the Toyos as I find them OK and price was good.
4. Can't see 86XL anywhere but all have the code PXT1R if that means anything
