RenaultSport clio 182
Used to run BF goodrige on my PuG Xsi all the time, brilliant tires. But on my 172 I am running Eagle f1's. Very good tiers but need running in a bit. Just put two new ones on yesterday and front is wandering about a bit under hard acceleration out of bends.
Cant complain about 130 sheets fitted and balanced for a pair.

Superb grip, and long lasting too
ditto.
Ditto.........i have these on the clio and my van, and the van has done about 8k on them at least and they are only just getting to the 'really grippy - about-to-die off' stage! (and the van gets some stick / body roll on corners etc)

My car uses 205/45 R16s... I first tried the OE Michelin PE2 on my 182 cup, they were good, but tried to find the "best tyres" so I went to Michelin Primacys to give them a try... they screamed like bitches and grip half the PE2... so no good.. then I finished the 4 (2 PE2 & 2 primacys and tried a new couple:
Now I have Pirelli's Pzero Neros have been with me for 3000miles and already worn:S such a soft compound... and no special grip in the dry though... haven't tried 'em on the wet, since it hasn't been raining in spain for a month... which is all the time they have!
Have Hankook K-104s (with XL of "extra load" for better sidewalls, which are neat
) at the back... til yesterday, which I swapped... and since before the car understeered with pirellis as hell and now oversteers with them at the back (funny driving mode 24/7 now
), I can tell that these hankook are WAAAY better... grip more, last more(very hard compound) and even, they're cheaper by more or less a 10%... so give them a try...
By the way.. I do a lot of motroways, but on weekends I do a lot of twisty roads... and climate conditions average is dry... Spain's sun is lovely for "sunday drivin'" :approve:
hope this opinon helps
... but above all, DON'T BUY NEROS!:quiet:

Got conti's on mine. thats what were on it when i had it so stuck with them.
My yoko 539's have now been fitted. Got them from Halfords. Only paid 43 per corner plus 6 for fitting and ballancing. Ordered them on a monday - fitted on a thursday. Drove down the road and thought they were sh!t. The car was all over the place. Checked the tyres and found that 3 of the 4 were put on the wrong way round! Halfords were more the apologetic and changed them round within 20 mins. Job done.
Yoko 539's.....can't fault them, awesome in the dry, not so awesome in the wet.

Mazda MX5 1.8
lol its only been running since Nov 05 if you look at the original post....... :rasp:
exaltos are second choice because brigestone dont make the potenza s0-2 in the correct size
ive also had these in the same size but on a dafferent hot hatch
toyo's i hated in the wet and were not much better
goodyear, pretty good but not as good as pilots
old version of pilots, lasted ages but turned brown
the pe2's i have now are very good

PE2, longevity the likes I've not seen on a tyre before! Dry Grip, wet grip all round the best. I couldn't recommend them highly enough.

Still on my car from winter 05/06 and have a stupid amout of tread left after over 11k. Awesome in the snow / wet and damn good in the dry. Only bad point is the noise (especially in the summer ) - they sound like they are actually sticking to the road and being peeled off!
