Righto, so i'm after some tyres, i have narrowed it down a bit from the blackcircles site, they seem to be the cheapest and i've had a good gander around, just after any feedback from anyone who has used any of them.
I have been using Yoko A539's, which i didnt find too bad, but looking for a bit more grip rerally, and i know its asking the earth & near enough impossible, but wouldnt mind something that will last a while with aggresive driving now & then?
Kumho KU31
£36.33
Falken Ziex ZE-912
£40.96
Toyo Proxes PX4
£46.16
Yokohama S Drive
£39.09
Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3
£58.97
Pirelli P7
£61.96
Tyres are needed to be in 195/45/15 due to tyre/arch unfriendliness, otherwise i would go for something like the 888 or yoko advan.
Any help appreciated, any other tyres you can recommend, please do.

I rate the s-drives, but people are always saying good things about the f1's.

Heard the wear on the F1's is pretty bad like, and wet handling isnt too hot.
The S-drives seem canny for the money, i'm swaying that way, get decent reviews.

Imo they're pretty good in the wet and dry, but only have Michelin energies to compare them to

Sam, what are they like in the dry?
My car is mainly a dry use car, not every day.
Will do more looking into the yokos as they seem very well priced.

Never heard of them dude.
Found this on Ebay...
4x Toyo Proxes PX4E = £149 + 15pp
4x Toyo T1R = £160 + 18pp
Worth the extra cash?
Seems a canny deal really.

yes really good, id reccomend them definatly...!
ive found tyre wear is pretty minimal aswell, but then again i never wheelspin or anything, and its only used on the road
i have them on a corsa dropped 60mm on spax adjustables and it goes round corners like its on rails in the dry.... well as best as a corsa could haha
