Has anybody had any experience (good or bad) with these tyres??
according to this months max power mag, they're very good but wondered if you guys have ever tried them?
i'm just shopping around for tyres at the minute.

Very much a muscle tyre, with an aggressive 'I will grip' tread pattern.

Middle to good, the price is beneath the benefits for sure..... but there are better makes on the market now.... The F1DSG measured against customer feed back, rules the roust at the moment.

Have to agree, these are the ones that Tony fitted for me and are the best tyres i've had. Held up very well at bruntingsthorpe, awesome when they get hot, started to marble towards the end of day but back as new after a few mins nice driving.
Rob's Lexx
well after a lot of debate and talking to various different tyre dealers and reading up in 'Which' magazine and Max Power, i've opted for the e.
Got a great price on them aswell, so fingers crossed they'll be the buisness!!
Getting them fitted on saturday...so watch this space!! :D :D
Rob's Lexx
Just to update anybody interested in these tyres.......

I got them fitted today by the boys at Nottingham 4 wheel car allignment (great peeps and top service :D )
the tyres look very aggressive with a mean tread pattern and they hold the road like super glue.
If any of you guys happen to have this month's max power mag, then there's a track/road test between the marangoni, dunlop SP, Toyo T1 and Yoko (can't remember which), etc and these bad boys beat them all.
when it decide's to rain a little i'll go see if they're worth their money :winky:
i'll get a pic posted at some point.
Rob's Lexx
can't seem to upload pics??? has it been restricted?? help appreciated admin??

like i said mate, i went for the marangoni's. they are very good and good value (just a little cheaper than the F1's).
read the article in max power if u need convincing. :D :D
i was offered eagle F1's at £90 a corner and the marangoni's just a little under that
Rsarin
in your reply you said you went for the e.is that an abbrevation for marangonis,or is e the model.

nice one mate,i like the thought of these tyres i may go for them,im using the bridgestone potenzas at the moment and they are good but want something a bit more meaty,these should do the trick.will be interesting to see how you find them in the wet.

That is one mean tyre tread.
£90 a corner for the f1's isn't bad.

yea £90 for the F1's is the best price (by far) i've found. that price was all in, fitted, valved and balanced. :D
the marangoni's were slightly less but all in all, the boys a nottingham 4 wheel carallignment did a great job and offer very competitive prices!!
yes, its a very mean tread pattern :winky: :D

yeah those marangonis look the bomb.Can you give me the address of that place in Notts im gonna go get some sorted tomorrow.
