Les meilleurs pneus pour la MG MGF

Je n'allais pas acheter ces pneus jusqu'à ce que quelqu'un sur un forum de club dise qu'ils étaient géniaux, malheureusement ce n'est pas le cas. Ils ne sont pas du tout aussi bons que les T1R, dans les virages à n'importe quelle vitesse, je sens que l'arrière se déplace à cause du flanc souple. J'ai augmenté la pression atmosphérique mais je la sens toujours se tortiller. Il est maintenant terrible de conduire et j'ai payé 300 £ pour le privilège :- (Ils sont peut-être bons pour une voiture à moteur avant mais malheureusement pas pour un moteur central.

The MGF is picky when it comes to tyres and tyre sizes. Therefore to be specific:
2x Yokohama Advan Neova AD08R 195/50 R15 82V
2x Yokohama Advan Neova AD08R 205/50 R15 86V
that replaced (the by many beloved... as long as the road was bone dry) Toyo TR 1 185/55 R15 / 205/50 R15's. The Toyo's were a good summer tyre but squirmy in the wet and the limit of cornering speeds wasn't much higher that say a VW Golf before things got "interesting".

Despite the concerns of Rover MG of under steer with 195/50 in the front I decided to risk it (185/50 R15 being almost impossible to get these days). The tread pattern is more of a racing tyre than your standard V tread (Toyo TR1). This means 1. huge blocks of road gripping rubber, 2. a much more rigid (stable feeling) tyre and 3. a very unique look to the car. Under steer has never been an issue and I've had a lot less over steer than I did with the Toyo TR1's and factory Goodyear tyres (so many years ago).

Cornering speeds: 90 degree unbanked turn = 60 to 70km/h
Swerving between cars / obstacles speed: 80 to 100 km/h
Burnout minimum revs: 4000 rpm (TOYO 3000 rpm)

This is a tyre you want to drive hard. Arrive home after "a bit of fun" and you'll smell the rubber. Extremely stable with plenty of grip on dry surfaces, and less tread wear / sidewall deterioration than the Toyo TR1 after 2 summers (which needed balancing every year). Breaking feels more controlled and changing gears at high revs will actually surge the car forward.

Here we have roads with traffic obstacles in the centre of the road that cover only half the lane in concrete paving stones. The AD08R will actually pull the steering wheel towards the centre line because of the grip (unlike the Pirelli, Toyo or Michelin I've had on other cars on this road). Response / feedback from changing surface conditions / quality is incredibly clear.

I'm supposed to mention comfort as well: if you want to know about comfort, buy a French car and move to a retirement home, and don't be surprised when an MGF overtakes you for being old.

If you're going to invest in your MGF as a true British performance sports car, these are about as good as you can get to performance summer tyres without having your own pit crew changing from racing slicks to treads every time it rains. That is, until Yokohama bring out their replacement for the AD08R.

(Australia) Have had these and other Falkens on the front and rear (currently just the rear) of an MGF. The front tyres are currently Nankangs which are good, but the Falkens definitely have the edge on those. We previously had a Series II Mazda MX5 which came on Pirellis and was terrifying in the wet until we switched it to Falkens. Dry grip never ceases to amaze me, ditto wet grip, progressive breakaway, quick recovery, good steering feel. Can't comment on noise as these are pretty noisy cars anyway, but for now they are my tire of choice, I can't imagine it's worth spending more, especially having been let down so dangerously by one of the big Euro names.

(Australia) I have these tyres on one end of an MGF and Falkens on the other, this was not my ideal, and I thought I'd be itching to replace the Nankangs. However they are as good as the Falkens in most respects with the only noticeable difference that they are a little less 'crisp' turning into a corner. I now have the Nankangs on the front and the Falkens on the back and am quite happy. Greasy off-camber bend on my way to work that has given me big moments in other cars on other tyres, the Nankangs grip to a very respectable speed, then understeer mildly and predictably in the wet. Would probably buy Falkens next time for that slightly better feel but these are an excellent tyre.

Bought these to replace what I think are shockingly dangerous Toyo proxes T1r's on my MGF,
I have only done around 5miles on these but there is more control of the car as its mid engine rwd I now feel confident i can now throw the car onto a corner and come out facing the correct direction.

These are very good tyres and going to buy 2 more for the front of my car shortly!

I am on my second set of these tyres and have found them to be of comparable value to much more expensive tyres. No problems with handling in wet or dry or road noise. My car is a MGF sports car and I would not say I am easy on the tyres but I am impressed with these. I used Event WL905s prior to these and was at first dismayed when they were superceded by these but my fears proved unfounded. I would recommend them.

Do not buy these tyres (or any triangle tyres for that matter). These are the worst tyres ever. I was driving along a wet road and coming up to a slight left hand bend when the rear wheels lost traction, would not regain traction and I ended up in trees. I was only doing 45mph in a rear wheel drive MGF. I only just bought it a few weeks before and never thought about checking the make of the tyres at the time. I will never have budget tyes likes these on my car again and will check before I buy from now on. I've compared the wet grip of these tyres to a Falken and the triangle is 21% compared to 87% - enough said. The wear is excellent. I don't think they will ever wear as they are so solid, thus slippy.

good enough at the price but wore quickly and didnt inspire much confidence

I don't understand the negative comments on these tyres. I can only assume the originators are driving as if they are at Santa Pod Dragster circuit. I found no problem in dry or wet conditions nor on motorways or country roads. Perhaps it's just that the tyres are better suited to certain cars but for the MGF I have no hesitation in recommending the WL905.

I had two of these tyres on my MGF they were on the front. The car tracked all over the Road, quite disconcerting! changed them to the rear and they behaved much better, however they seem to be constructed from very hard material and are useless in the Wet, beware.
