What are peoples experience of different tyres on a 928, I think I've got the message that Brett likes the Falken tyres, my local tyre centre recommend either Continental Contisport 3's or Pirelli's or the Good Year F1 Asymetrics, any recommendations?

Re: Best tyres for a 928 GTS?
I'm with Brett and use Falken 452 tyre's as does my friend who has a modified Skyline. Got Pirelli PZero on my Golf GT which are brilliant in all weathers but it eats them at a rate of a front set every 8k miles
Haven't used any other makes for a long time now.
Hope that helps

Re: Best tyres for a 928 GTS?
I have used the Good Year F1 on another sports car and the grip was the best I ever had and little road noise. But like Andy it ate them. I don't know if driving a big saloon up and down the motorway all week made me use all the available grip I had at the weekend. None are cheap and it depends on how many miles a year you plan to do.
Good luck.
Good luck.
