Hi, sorry for creating another tyre thread (the board is plenty), but I have a specific quesstion here. I have found for the same price Goodyear Eagle F1 and Pirelli P6000 Powergy, what do you think I should go for? the deal seem good for both, 102€ each, for a 195/60-15V. How do you compare them in therm of noise, steer sharpening, stiffness, performances, dry & wet performances, fuel economy? How long do you think they would last, considering that I got 65000 km (40000 miles) from my Michelin Energys?
I saw on the tyres in exposition that the F1 has 200 as treadwear, is it high or low? I don't what it means. The Pirelli had no treadwear on it.
There was at the same place for the same size Goodyear Venturas, a little cheaper at 97€, what kind of tyre is it? is it any good?
try continental premium contact 205/60/15 W
i have just fitted these tyres, they are great compared to old P6000's, and cost the same money as you are looking at. {in the uk anyway}
From the tyre size given I would think you have a CSE like my wife. Hers had Michelin Energy on when we got it and yes they lasted for ages and ages but I did'nt think the grip was great.
Sorry to be boring but it kind of depends on what you want from the tyre.
I usually go for Pirelli P6000 (origional not powergy) on my AERO for slightly more grip but they don't seem to last that long.
We replaced the Michelins on my wifes CSE with Continental ECOCONTACTS which seem to suit it very well, reassuring in the wet, quiet on motorways, nice ride, wear seems good so far.
Don't get AVONs, I had some a couple of years ago, they did'nt last very long and had poor grip
In my previous CSE I had several sets of (original) P6000s. I found them fine, and preferred them to the Michelin Premacy I switched to. The Michelins were noticeably quieter, though.
On the new CSE I've got Gislevd, or however it's spelt. They seem OK, but noisy.
Replaced the 195/65 michelin MXV3 on the CSE with
205/60 P6000 (Ronal 5 spokes) Found the Pirelli gives more grip & less road noise.
(but seems to be wearing out faster)
I've found that Pirelli's have good grip to start, but by about 2/3rds worn they lose grip and spin like mad.
