[Liquid yellow 182]

Just wondering what tyres would be best for my car looking for some decent yet affordable ones, went and looked at wilco earlier and got offerered a few so wanted some CS advice

guessing you have 195/50/16's???

conti sport contact/dunlop sp/goodyear f1 £90-100 per corner
toyo t1r £70-80 per corner
pirreli p6000 £80-90 per corner
falken ze912 £60-70 per corner
nankgang £55 per corner.

my money would be spent on toyos or go for (4) 195/45/16 and you get better choice/ can knock £20-30 off the above prices as its a more popular tyre size...

Go for a different profile and get Michelin PE2's

I asked about toyo and they said £105 per tyre and atm i'll only be buying 2 tyres so should I go for them? will be taking it for a spin round a track soon to at a beginners day lol

Kumho Ecsta get half decent ratings and they're pretty cheap tbh.

kumho ecsta nearly killed me with only 85bhp in my old 1.2 AVOID!!!!!!

for the cash, i cant fault toyo T1R's £30 a tyre in 195/50/15 from camskill or ebay, i swear by them on my dci, they hapily put down 190lb/ft!

on my 172 i used to swear by eagle F1s but they got quite expensive and imo are probably not worth the extra over the T1-R, i rarely use it now tho so dont mind paying for R888's
