First time I've EVER had to buy anything that I'm bothered about (the Corsa used to get budget ones!)

I want something that will grip but not wear out in 2k. Also as light on the wallet as possible (£50/60 a corner realistic?)


Here's the choice:



Any other website worth buying from?

I was eyeing up the Yoko's, but want something that I can use in the wet.

I'm not looking to race around, just want to trust the car at a roundabout etc.

I've got Conti Eco Contacts on my car. Not sure what the difference is between the Ecos and the Sports, probably the speed rating, and the profile. I think they are good, they last a long time...

I suppose anything is better than the Nexens I've got at the moment.

I don't want the buy the Falkens becuase they are the cheapest though, want them to be good.

Ed, really not wanting to spend £90 a corner though

I had T1-R's they wore ok but were a bit skittish in the wet.

Eagle F1's in 205/40/17's aint much more on my My Tyres tbh

My mum has has 205/4017's on her Focus ST170 and they are some varitant of Yokohomas but aint the crappy Parada Spec 2's.

Fad, shut up! Clio's rattle, sunroofs leak, have a shoddy dashboard and a driving position that you have to spend 6 months getting used to!
