Standard 172 Cup - 195/45 R16 Tyres

[geoffn]

I’m looking for 4 * new 195/45 R16 Tyres for my 172 Cup. Car is bog standard – honest and will be kept that way.

I don’t do very many miles a year, the car is rarely used in the wet and just want 4 “good” tyres, they don’t have to be mega grippy etc.

Been considering:-

Pirelli PZero Nero GT £60.65 each inc vat

Uniroyal RainSport 5 @ £52.25 each inc vat

Toyo Proxes TR1 @ £48.30 each inc vat

Any thoughts or other recommendations please ?

Thanks.

I ran the Pirellis on my 182 for about 3 years, albeit in 205 45 16.

I found them to be a decent tyre that worked all year round. They also seemed to last ages too.

I'm running these on my 182 , 205/45/16 and I'm happy with them in both the dry and wet, wear rate is good.

Pilot Sport 3 or 4 if available all day long for me!

If you want a ‘budget’ tyre I’d recommend the TR1 far better than the outgoing t1r, plenty of grip in the wet and dry. But if budget isn’t an issue Pilot sport 4 all day long

Michelin Pilot Sport 3 are available in that size.

I'd go with these over all of the above. At £50 each you cant go wrong.

My clio 172 ph2 feels like its on rails compared to a lot of other cars ive driven, on both wet and dry conditions. It might have something to do with the Pilot Sport 3 tyres fitted by the previous owner. Not just the car itself.
2 and a half years later and about 25000 kms since ive bought the car, they barely wore out. Only the outer edges on 2 of them due to bad alignment but thats sorted. I really like them. Expensive though..

Road only use by the way. Daily driver. Occasional blasts, few drag starts and so on, but nothing too frequent or extreme.
