I believe the Dunlop RT2 is the same tyre as the Goodyear F1 Assy3.
Any info to back that up?
I have a tyre dilemma. For a while I have been getting the "check tyre pressure warning" about every 3 weeks.
When washing the car at the weekend I noticed one of the fronts has a small chunk out of the side wall.
The tyre pressure warning relates to one of the rears so on Sunday I dunked it in a drum of water and found 2 leaks. The first is that it is leaking around the valve seating due to alloy corrosion. The second is a tiny cut in the tread near the side wall so not reparable.
All tyres have 5.5mm to 6mm of tread.
Fronts are Dunlop SP Sport Maxx GT 235/40 R18 91Y
Rears are Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 255/35 R18 94Y
So, I'm looking at wheel refurb to fix the corrosion around the valve seating ( they are all a bit shabby now).
But I'm at a bit of a loss with what to do with the tyres.
Best of the mid range come in at around £300 for a set.
If I go for new Dunlops on the front & new Goodyears on the rear the price is around £390 but I could keep 1 front & 1 rear as spares. Only slight issue with this is that the new Goodyears would be Asy 5 rather than the Asy 3 I have.
I'm going round in circles with this and i'm finding making a decision varies by the hour.
Any comments would be appreciated.
PS - Don't do many miles in it. Rarely wear out a set of tyres, they usually die from punctures or side wall damage (live on an unmade road with plenty of potholes)
