right cos its getting to that time of year when a Turbo'd Corsa is gonna become a deathtrap (more than usual).. im gonna be needing some new tyres.
wanna get some that are going to give high performance in both wet and dry conditions, also nothing too soft cos i will go through them in a matter of months.

i have tried a few different makes of tyres over the years.. my personal favs have been BF Goodrich profileG tyres.

im gonna need them in a 205/40/R17

have heard that Proxy's are crap for powerful FWD cars in the wet...

any help lads n lasses

As pete said.

If u wanna save some pennies. Avon ZZ3's are AWESOME for the money, i usually pay around £75 per corner. They fit em to 182 clio's out the factory.

Get good perfromance in both wet n dry.

Got 2 new fronts for mine the other day. I opted for Hankook Ventus Prime. And i'm very very impressed. They are far better than the Continental Conti Contact Sports thingys I had before. Great in the wet too.

I have proxies on at the moment, They seem to grip well in all conditions, however my 306TD is hardly powerful.
