My New Boots ...

[Sharkie]

Didn't these win a tyre comparison in Wheels or Motor recently ?

I know the F1's won something last year, but faintly remember these from Motor? as well.

At $184 a corner it is quite cheap. Even the Adrenalins are close to $250 a corner.

So you did not decide to competely destroy the contis at Warwick then Dave?

Yeah, Johan ... got another trip south before then and decided to get the new tyres for that. Besides ... wanted to try the new ones out at Warwick.

$184 is a good price.

OK ... I've tried them out in the wet now (up the 'goat-track' to Lamington National Park) ... they're easily as good as the Contis in the wet ... felt no slippage or insecurity and braking was no problem. Well pleased.

I haven't heard anything bad about the Federals so far, and I'm looking at the 595RS-R's for my next tyres, but I will give Marangoni's a look see(I personally have never heard of them until I read a tread about them a while ago and looked them up). I have have a real thing for semi slick R spec tyres though, and can't find many in the 205/45 R16 other than the 595RS-R. The Toyo T-1R is a great tyre too...

Hoyhoy.
Blitzen, I'm fairly sure you won't find the 595RS in a Australia, have spoken to the importers who may bring some in one day.

I'm picking up the 595RS's in Canberra when I head down there next week. I couldn't get them anywhere in Darwin, but didn't have any real trouble finding them anywhere else. One of the Tyre Powers in SA said they would ship them to my door for $310 each landed, which was a good price, considering their RRP is $300.
