Need Tyre Advice Please

[Pyrah]

At the moment on my 16" OZ Supers I have Toyo T1R's... 195/40/r16

But the problem is they are too low profile for me as Dudley have terrible roads.

I would like to know what tyres are Cliosport favourites?

P.S if anyone wants my toyo's then you can have them £200 for all 4 (Almost New)

I can't fault Conti sport contact 5's or Michelin Pilots tbh...

I quite like the Hankook v12 evo's, It all depends on budget.

205/45 is about as big as you can really go on a 16" rim, its unlikely to make a massive difference compared to what you have.

What suspension are you on?

Hard suspension is more likely to be the issue, especially if your dampers are knackered as it ends up crashy.

Had all new dampers when i had the springs fitted as the ones before were original and knackered. I might see what they are like once im slammed and then ill figure something out. Thanks for your help though

"Slammed" and "terrible roads" are unlikely to lead to a happy ending TBH mate, but good luck

Well, by 'slammed' i mean lower than i already am but yeah it needs lowering as the mk3 is too high and bodyroll is awful

Apologies didnt realise it was a mk3, you can probably get a lot bigger profile tyre on there then, sorry I just assumed it was a mk2.

The 200 for example is 215/45/17 IIRC

So based on that a 205/50/16 at least should look ok.

Sorry mate i should have said.

Do you have any recommendations tyre wise?

TBH for road tyres the T1R arent too bad anyway IME.

Is it just a road car or trackdays too?

Its just road pal. And tbh they are really good, especially in the wet but the profile lets them down. But i cant argue for the price i payed for the alloys with these

conti sc5 are worth a look mate mine are about fooked now but they have done 16k on the road and 2 dry track days and one wet, cant fault them really.
