Front Rubber..

[serious tom]

I currently have 17" rims on the front which need rubber.
What I want to know is what do you recommend to put on the front?

I still have a lot of other stuff to sort out before I can even get it on track so money is sort of an issue, but I suppose the fronts last for quite a while, so it should be fine.

Ive heard of a few tyres;
Toyo TR1 ; very good in wet but seems to not last as long as others...
Falken FK452 ; some people rave about them...
Hankook RS2's; anyone?.....
Eagle F1; 100 pound a tire....
Neuton NT5000's; supposed to be a great tyre, surprised many people!

And what are your thoughts on running 16"s up front as oppose to 17"s?
Much difference?

Ive got loads of things to sort out on my 180 before I can get cracking, but just wanted to see what people say, as I simply don't have money, no job, and im still at school.

Only priced them in 15's tom, uniroyals around €60ish and 888's around €95

888's around 170-180 euro a tyre in 17's i think
