get conti's imo there the best allrounder. 195/45/R16. Kwik fit were doing 4 for 3 recently on them as well.

Be careful. The contis have a stiffer tyre wall than most...I got a full set of Uniroyal Rainsports and it felt like the car was floating and around bends it felt awful so I'm always worried about changing them. I have done some track work and tbh the Contis were ok imo. Better tyres out there but also much worse

Back on Contis on the FST and I just dont like the way they give up grip. they seem to slip quite easily. Also poor tyre life and they squel realtively easy. PE2s are significantly better in my experience.

F1 Eagles for me as good as PE2'S in my opinion at a better price.

I used some eagle f1's on my 172 and they were great

I bought 4 conti's a week ago after spending 4 months on the tyres I got on the car when I bought it in Jan (stupid random assortment of two conti's on front, one Mich and one cheap on back......does not inspire confidence lol).

Kwik-fit, went online and got 30% off so £278 for 4 'all in' price. Very slippy till they started to bed in obviously, but I slightly agree with the coment made here that they give up grip easily. Generally v. good tyre tho all round and give confidence once you are used to the limits. Also with the same tyres all round the car feels a lot more balanced and 'neutral' when being pushed in corners now!

they can be a bit shite in the wet, but are reasonably hard wearing you can get 10k easily out of them unless decked on its arse.

I think once warm they grip fine and thats coming from the roundabout capital of the UK!
