My tyres are Pirelli P Zero Assimterico, i would stronly recommend them, but they are expensive and do wear quickly, the plus side is the shed loads of grip you get.

that is a strange size and will be expensive. 195 45's would be cheaper.
I cant rate the eagle F1's high enough, especially in the wet. They last ok as well I think. Depends how you drive!

Got yokos on the now(all 4) and don't feel like they are wearing quickly.
Will be getting Toyo's when needed though.
But Yokos are fine the now....Would recommend them..

Toyo Proxes seem to get rave reviews everywhere for great grip in wet and dry conditions, as well as quite a long lasting compound. Try looking at Michelin Pilots too. Very good tyre IMO.

Also, the Michelin Pilots come in lots of sizes and may cater for what you need.

I have gone through so many tyres on the outer edge and found Yoko's too soft they wore the quickest. I am now using Avon ZZ3's and they are the best I have found for grip and lasting.

In the past I've had Falken, Toyo Proxes, Continental, Michilen and Dunlop.
Out of all those I'd say the Dunlops were the best. Wet grip is amazing as is the size. 195/40/16. Toyo Proxes were also good and they last well. My Dunlops have outlasted any other tyre I have had though probably due to the 40 profile!

Yoko A539's are good in dry & wet conditions, but on damp roads its like being on ice!!
F1 eagles are the best for all round

I had Toyo Proxes and then Eagle F1s. The Eagles were excellent in the wet (slightly better than the Toyos) but in other respects, the Toyos were more than a match - a superb all-round tyre for the money . Add the fact that the Toyos were 40% cheaper and it explains why my next set will be Toyos.

yokos are ok as long as u go for the AVS sports. A539 are crap IMO and wear very quick, i have had my AVS sports for over a year now and still got lots of tread on them
