Rob332 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 So I was gutted to find out the company I ordered my tyres from are out of stock on MPSS. I'm looking at alternatives and noticed Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2. Has anyone ever tried these ? If so what do you think of them ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david89 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Can't say I've ever had Eagle F1s. Which company are you buying from? I've just put on MPSS on the back and PS3s on the front of my 370z and they're excellent. Bought mine from Camskill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian@TORQEN Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 What sizes are you looking for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHEZZA Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Just get them from somewhere else. Here's the OEM sizes from tyre leader presuming from your avatar that you have a 350z https://www.tyreleader.co.uk/car-tyres/michelin/pilot-super-sport/225-45-zr18-95y-428120 https://www.tyreleader.co.uk/car-tyres/michelin/pilot-super-sport/245-45-zr18-100y-428433 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 liking the eagle f1s I put on my beemer - really good price these days, seem to be handling 370lbft of torque alright and are wearing very well. No problems at all in the wet either. the MPSS might have marginally better dry performance, but in the wet i'd say the Eagle F1s are better.

PS3s are shopping trolley tyres despite the PS designation, they're going to hugely inhibit the front end performance of your car. As to the original question, I'd happily put on the F1s, 050As or AD08Rs if I couldn't get MPSS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Payco Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Have you tried Openeo for tyres. By far the cheapest I have ever sourced tyres from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Bradders- Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 as above, use somewhere else, oponeo + tyreleader are the 2 cheapest in the uk as far as i am aware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Asda are dirt cheap right now, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob332 Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 Asda are dirt cheap right now, too. I know, that's where I ordered them from originally. With the discount, I got a quote for £261.14 for the rear 2 fitted ( 245/45 18 ). Absolute bargain ! I got an E-mail from them today saying they were out of stock. I need them on for next Friday as that's when my MOT expires. That's why I'm looking at alternatives form ASDA, as they are so damn cheap at the moment, I want to try and buy from them. I'll have a look at all your suggestions tonight cheers !.......I'm meant to be working Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomzzzcattle Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) Costco do MPSS at a very good price! but you may have to become a member first, I cant remember!? Also, I have got Eagle F1 on my rears at the moment and although they are quite good- I do prefer MPSS!

david89 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Yup, why not? Not something I've noticed so far, although the previous owner did have 3 Bridgestones of vastly differing age/condition and a Dunlop before so I guess I haven't known better on this car...

brillomaster Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 its not so much of an issue if you're just pootling around, but if you're pushing on and reach the limit of the tyres, PS3s will let go long before PSSs will, so the car will understeer. and even within the limits, PS3s will make less grip than PSS. personally, I don't corner my road car hard enough to notice bad front tyres - however it would be very obvious on a track car. I think Dan pushes his road cars quite hard... that said, if you're out for a drive and the corner you think is a fast 3rd gear sweeper turns out to be a 2nd gear hairpin, the car with mpss all round will make the corner, and the car with mps3s on the front will understeer into a hedge. and its when the unexpected happens that you need decent tyres. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjt Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I used the Eagle F1s for a year on the 350z, through winter and very wet weather and on track at Anglesey; couldn't fault them for the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martybhoy Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I'm in the same position. Currently looking at tyres and in the space of a week mpss have went up by approx £100 for a full set. My decision comes down to. Full set of toyo proxes t1 sport at £400 roughly Or MPSS full set at over £600 Trying to see if they're worth the extra money tbh.

Ekona Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Not even close. It's like choosing Lidl budget salmon flakes over Harrod's Smoked Salmon Fillet Rubbed On A Virgin Thigh. You'll save that easy in tyre wear alone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll save that easy in tyre wear alone. Don't mean to thread hijack. Really that much of a difference? The Toyo's get good reviews obviously not quite as high as mpss.

Ekona Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Honestly, yes. If you don't think the MPSS are utterly brilliant after one year I'll refund you the £200 myself. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martybhoy Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Haha screen shotting this. Ok point taken, along with the many other forum users and others reviews I think I'll hold off and just put some money by for mpss in the future.

Jetpilot Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I would be very surprised if anyone was unhappy with F1's, no reason not to go for them if you cannot get mpss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
