New Tyres For 2005 Gs300

[Tone the Bone]

Hi all,

I will soon be buying new tyres for my GS300, now almost 2 years old [one of the first of the latest body shape] . I have done about 23,000 miles so the original tyres have done well.

I do not drive the car too hard, and wish to have tyres which are as quiet as possible, especially on motorways.

I usually replace tyres like for like with original brands, but the first quote I have had from my dealer was over £900 for the four tyres.

I have looked around, people on this site are using other brands, and I am sure tyres like Pirelli PZero, or Dunlop SP Sports are good quality branded tyres, but can be bought fitted for about £600 for the set. But . . . I don't want to fit them then find they are noisy or less well suited to the car.

Tyre size is 245/40R18

Any advice re trye noise and changing from the originals?

Thanks,

Tony

You got same size as me on the GS, and the P Zeros are very noisy compared to the Goodyear Eagle F1s I have got on now.

Just bought 4 Eagle F1s they will be fitted tomorrow 275 X 45 X 20"s.

I am replacing the Continental Sport Contact. So I will let you know how these are.

How do you find the F1s Maneesh?
