Michelin Pilot Exalto 2's on my valver.... great tyre

Around 70ish quid each by me in 185/55/15

[EVOgone]

PE2s

 

[Cupster]

GSD3 F1, although this is only a comparison between Conti Sports, Toyos and Pilot Sports.

 

[BigBarry172]

Falken ZE512's - great in wet & dry

 

[Djw John]

Another vote for eagles, only about £35 in 195/50/15 fitment as well

 

[TVO]

Pirelli P Zeros

Tyres seem to be a very personal choice

The Toyo Proxes have been very good for me, seem to be a tyre that's excellent in the dry but a nightmare in the wet...

i have contisports on the front of my 172 and p zeros on the rear.

 

[stokedRich]

vice versa...I have OE Conti's on the rear and P-Zeros on the front - loads of grip with predictable understeer @ the limit...from what I've read the best tyres for the 172/182 Cup & Trophy are the Michelin PE2's standard fit on the Trophy + other hot hatches

I'm alone in my love for Contininetal conti sports

 

[Bandy]

What profile should i go for on Turbines? 195 / 50 / 15 ?

 

[Rich]

For the money Good Year GSD3 F1, worth paying the extra over the Toyos IMO. If money dont matter get the PE2's

195/50s will save you some cash too.

 

[172 Dave]

PE2s mate nowt else matters...

 

[TomS]

I run the standard 185/55/15 on mine and they are slightly more expensive

Rich is right, the others will be cheaper

I was like you with my 205 GTi Tom which ran 185/55, I kept to the correct size despite the extra cost. I felt the car was a lot better to turn in etc witht he correct sized tyres on. No idea what differences are made on valver tho.

 

[TomS]

Yeah i'd rather stick to the 185's Rich, purely because thats what they were made on...

it is standard after all :rasp:
