16 inch tyres for 172 cup, what's hot what's not?

[tpivette]

Any recommendations for best tyres for road use on a 172 cup with the 16inch turini wheels? Or ones to avoid!

Thanks for any advice.

I'd be going for continental contisport3's if it where my money, camskills have them for around £69 a corner I think


Edit, there you go

cheers for that. Im running through some others via camskill, but that is a good name at a good price!

Is there any reason NOT to move up to 205 width?

Cost is about the only reason.

Don't think camskills do 205/45 in contisport3s

People complain about handling dif on 205 and aqua planing etc. I'd stick with 195. My money went on michelin pilot sport 3s. Excellent tyres

bloody hell, just noticed 11 pages of tyre poll at the sticky section. That'll keep me busy for a bit!

mines had contisports when i first got it. good tyres. had pilots as well. also good.

i done alot of miles so was a bit expensive to replace all with the same. put toyo's on and they werent as good.

now i have Yoko S Drive's and they are the closest things i have had to the conti's
