Got toyos on mine and they are increadible for grip, not sure for prices though as my wheels are 15s-they cost 200 fitted from ktec

 

[White16valver]

www.mytyres.co.uk for price ideas, then get in contact with Yoz before you buy anything.

I wouldn't recommend Toyos myself - grip, grip, grip, sliiiiiiide with no warning... LoL

I like Eagle F1s :approve: but they may be a little above budget.

im wanting some new tyres to as mine dont grip at all, same size as above needed.

In 195 / 45 / R16 format it's F1s; fantastic tyres imo.

 

[Pauldredge]

im reckoning the f1's will cost me a fair bit to replace all 4 of them though

As above, mytyres are very cheap and you get CS Discount.

Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD-3s, no question. Grip, grip, grip, grip, cool tread and last ages.

i was fancying eagle f1 s just woundering on size are 205/40 best for 17 our can you get wider????

 

[White16valver]

You can get 215/40s I believe, but they might touch the arches. (and maybe put your speedo more out than 205/40s)

The F1s are £86.40 on mytyres at the moment, and I believe you get 3% discount for ClioSport if you email them, so they should work out at about £335 with discount.

If you can scrape the extra £35 together then I would definitely go for it! (IMO of course )
Might cost another £20 or so to get fitted though, so budget for that as well!

my falken at the moment have tyre protecters on but they sit inwards from the wheel, (the alloy is sitting out from tyre) do the f1 sit flush againest the tyre??????

 

[White16valver]

I'm not sure! Looking at the photo on mytyres http://www.tyre-pictures.com/Goodyear/gsd3.jpg it doesn't appear to have a rim protector as such...

i went for yokohama parada spec-2's

seem alright in the wet, bit scary on certain greasy roads but then i imagine most tyres would be

havent had chance to push them in the dry because of shitty english weather.

I've had the standard Conti's, F1 GSD2's, F1 GSD3's and the standard fit 205/45 Exaltos that are on on the 182 and i'd have the Exaltos everytime.
