- Will new tyres transform the way your MGF drives? We compare old vs new (Yokohama) tyres on the same road to find out.
Here’s some further info’ if you’re interested:
All-rounders:
Avon ZV5
Bridgestone Potenza
Bit more focussed:
Nexen N2000 or N3000
Toyo Proxes
Yokohama Advan V701
Tyre sizes:
Early MGFs on R15s: 185/50 front, 205/50 rear
Later MGFs on R16s: 215/40 front and rear
Trophy and TFs on R16s: 195/45 front, 215/40 rear
This car is on: R15 195/50, 205/50 profile Yokohama Advan V701s, up 10mm width front
Opinions differ on the benefits of wider tyres at the front, but naturally it should reduce understeer at least in the dry.
I also can't comment on the rate of wear at the moment, but will update when I can.

Have Toyo TR1's on my F and Toyo T1Rs on the TF. Nice tyres.
Greetings from NZ I have been using Toyo Proxes for 10 years and find they handle really well in wet or dry
Oh boy do I miss my MGF...!
We run Yokohama S-drive tires on our Fs and they really work well on the F.
Recently got a set of nearly-new Falken 914s. (What was on before was very nondescript). First 60 mile journey I did, I was very struck that when I got home I felt very little fatigue. The car feels far firmer and more poised, less twitchy. These days they have been superceded by the 310. Reports of these are good too. MGF experts have recommended both.
This is fortuatous, I have to buy x4 new tyres and was thinking about Yokohama's and this has just sold me thanks. (MGF tyres are a minefiels :-s )
I put 4 matching new tyres on my MGF . , they were only coopers (Avon) but they transformed the car . Definitely worth sorting your tyres on these
When i first bought mine it had Nankang, it did a 360 on a roundabout at a very slow speed, it just let go. I went and bough 4 Avons it fixed it right away and have run them ever since
A year on, are you still happy wit the tyres?
What is the warning light on?
The power steering is disabled (fuse removed)
