Yokohama A539s... any good?

These any good at all? Can get some from work trade price. How do they compare to F1s?

Cheers.

 

I've had them before, they don't last very long!

 

Nowhere near F1's.

Wear very fast, aweful in the wet/damp.

Very good in totally dry conditions.

 

I had mine 4/6K miles, no major wear, Not that great in damp conditions.
Dry great Soaking wet better than damp

 

Dont waste your bucks!

 

Need some new tyres too, been looking for ages but can't find the right ones. Heard a lot about toyo but how are they for comfort? Need something smooth and comfy without giving bad handling.

 

w@nk tyre compared to the F1s

 

As posted on another thread,I'm pleased with the new Toyo T1-R I've got on mine at the mo.

Comfort?ermmm

 

Always liked 'em myself, cracking in the dry & never thought that bad in the wet- but ive not tried F1's.

Ace in the dry tho & cheap too

 

I may just try them as i have no money at the minute for F1s! I can get them fitted and all for under a ton and need it sorting asap really.

Cheers for the replies.

 

Get Toyo T1-R's

Only a couple of quid more than A539's and better tyre if the T1S is anything to go by.

 

Fair weather tyre only imo.

 

So what tyres DO you like guys....I'm interested...need to buy some news ones...size will be 195/50x15 ish

 

i wasn't impressed at all with yoko 539's.

i only use uniroyal rallye540's now...i love them, especially at this time of year. shame my vr6 is off the road at mo (at bodyshop), and i have to use my cheapo mkII gti which has some very cheap cr*p on it.

 

Best tyres for me so far are Toyo Proxes T1-S. They don't last that long though.

2nd: Eagle F1's
3rd: Bridgestone Potenza S03 Pole Positions

 

Goodyear Eagle F1`s here, best tyres I`ve had on a car bar none, superb either wet or dry

 

found the 539's to be very good in the dry. as stated by others, not too good in the wet. i'm a very careful driver in the wet though so not a problem for me. used the 539's on track and they do hold up well. for that money, buy them. unless you like racing in wet weather conditions, putting the lives and property of the public at risk, that is.

 

F1's for me.....

missus has that tyre.....seem ok in dry but again not to good in the wet!

 

i had 539's all round on my mk1 and i needed new fronts so i bought some f1's and quite frankly for the extra bit of money ( 539's 45 and the f1's 55) there is absolutely no comparison. the wet grip on the f1's is outstanding , to the point that i lost the back end a couple of times which are still shod in 539 rubber .

 

I had these on my MR2 Mk2 - it got VERY tail happy in the wet but was great in the dry...wear rate's a bit high though
