Looking at new front tyres

[Ady182]

Now I've always been a fan of the Exalto's, had them on every clio (bar the cup) that I have owned, my current ones are near the tread limit so need a new set. I have Toyo T1's on the rear which to be fair aren't bad. Im confident in the wet with them because I drive to condion, sometime give it some beans but it's never been out of shape. Also did some tracktime at rockingham where it felt good also.

Now the quandry I have is 3 fold.

Toyo's (cheap, not great in the wet)
Hankook V12's (Great in the dry, better than the toyos in the wet)
Michelin PS3's (Great all rounder)

After much research obviously the michelin is an excellent all round tyre but £££s, I dont mind paying but obviously for my need (which is around 4-5000 pa, occasional trackwork) But Im looking at the price and the review of the Hankooks thinking I may go for them, especially at the price below which I think is absolutely outstanding!

Comments are welcome as I'm crap at making my mind up lol!!

Thanks in advance

Those sound very decent for the price mate (the Hankook's), I will be considering them myself. You are better off getting an opinion off someone else who's tried them or similar as it will be more useful than my comment .

I have T1R's all round on my clio and they are far from the best in wet/greasy conditions, had a few moments with mine.

I have the hankook's on my daily drive (Corsa) and they are miles better than I expected. They are brilliant in the wet and not too bad in the dry.

Personally I would go for the T1R's if your doing pretty low mileage.

Michelin ps3's IMO

 

[Ady182]

Tempted by the Hankooks obviously way cheaper than michelins and they have excellent reviews.

Go for the Hankooks, a lot of people on here rate them highly and they are cheapest of the three so win win.

At the end of the day the Michelin's will be best, but that's what you pay for.
And ultimately like you said, it comes down to what you need from a tyre.

I recently put Hankook primo 415's on the front...absolutely awesome! Black Circles does em pretty cheap!
