What you suggest?!
225 / 40 / 18's
I had nothing but Dunlop SP9000's on the corsa and found them very good, TT requires 4 new tyres sooner than I expected 
Do I go for SP9000's again or anyone used or got thoughts on Dunlop Sport Maxx?
I currently have Bridgestone Potenza's on but find them very noisey and seem to wear rather quickly
Be getting local tyre place to order me four in for the weekend hmmmmm choices choices!

Had both Sport MAXXs and Kumhos on my old S3, couldnt fault either to be honest. Both seemed good in the dry and the wet

I have just bought new Falken 452's in the size you put and find them superb for the money
My mates just put the exact same tyres on his LCR in place of the Goodyear F1s he had and he says they offer better grip

Check out blackcircles. They use local garages to fit, and its included in the price.
Just bought me 2 new Goodyear Eagle F1's for the TT, for £230 (225/40/18). They are immense

I have Michelin Pilot Exaltos on mine. Done 17,000 and the fronts still have about 4mm left.
Not tried any other tyres on this car but I will prob stick with these as they have enough grip for me. They dont seem to be cheap at all though from the little research I have done

£165 on black circles but suppose your easily going to see 20k miles on them so not too bad!

I've got Michelin Pilot Sports on the back of mine, Toyo Proxes on the front. No problems with either so far.
