Got a bloody nail in one of my rear tyres and it looks too close to the tyre wall to get repaired.

The car has factory fitted michelin tyres - which are really hard and last ages - but fuck me they're noisy.

Eventually I wanna swap all my tyres for slightly softer, quieter tyres - so now will be the chance to start.

Any recommendations? 205/45/r16

if you want soft, get Toyos, if you like replacing them loads.

if you are on a bit of a budget, the new Falken FK452 is a good tyre.

Just noticed them when looking on blackcircles.

Cheapest tyre in the "very good" category, and when I read the description it does make a point of advertising them as quiet and comfortable.

ran my old corsa on ze512 and i loved them. gripped well in dry and wet conditions and werent too expensive. also had a lush curbing strip and tyre wall on them so you could go low without worrying too much.

then i changed to toyo proxes t1s and regretted every minute of it

honestly man. the toyos were shite. didnt seem as good in wet weather, rubber dissapeared twice as fast, and they rubbed like fuck cos the wall was so thick cos the curbing strip went all the way to the outer edge

im looking at putting 17s on my fiesta over xmas and i will be going for ze512
