I have TOYOs on my CUP mainly because I just got it and the fronts were already TOYOs so when I replaced the rears I went like with like. I ran TOYOs on my Fiesta ST though and never had a problem. Good tyre, not too bad with regard to road noise and not bad in the wet.

Best tyres I ever ran were VREDESTEIN on my Focus ST - don't know if they are available/easily sourced for the clios profile but they were exceptional.

can either use the OE 195/45/16 or the 182's 205/45/16. lots about tyres on here - they came on 195/45/16 Contisports originally, which are still avail for about 60/70ea. few other options in 195/45/16 for similar money. not sure, but think the Toyos may be a bit cheaper, and are a popular tyre anyway

OE tyre on the 182 was the 205/45/16 Michelin PE2, which are silly money in comparison (£90+ea). Hankook V12s are popular in the 205 width and similar money to the 195 Contis (got some one at the moment and they're fine - hoping they'll last longer than the Contis, which don't seem to wear well)

probably just best to stick with a well recognised brand
