These any good?

Will be purchasing the ZIEX ZE-912 195/40 R16's for £50 a corner.

I don't want performance, just durabilty, and these are the cheapest I can find.

Thanks

If you are after a cheap long lasting tyre, try hankooks. It takes me 10k to go through a pair of them.

In my experience they are very durable, but fucking dangerous if the roads are the slightest bit moist. I've had them in 16,17 and 18'' and all were awful performance wise.

using Dunlop Sps just now on my nova (in 16s) pretty awesome.

Falkens were indeed a tad frightening in the damp.
