Clio 172 Cup 03 plat
eagle F1's def, i've got cup so 195/45/16, quite expensive for that size and I'd say good quality for the price and it's been raining like buggery up here and its still rubber side down 
Tried my bf's 172 with exalto on rear, toyo's on front, prefer mines by far, might just be size thats affecting my thoughts tho his is 195/50/15 and a lot cheaper

Well give me some examples, those ones im on about seem to be a big hit in germany and on that tire review site people say their just as good as premium ones and that their fitted on alot of civic type rs

Cant afford pe2S i do have one on the back with lots of tread but its loosing air would this def be a slow puncture once i pump it up i can hear air escaping but it never drops below 25psi could it be fixed? Cos its almost new.

Bought two uniroyal rainsports for 120
Poped over to see you boys on Cliosport with the Exalto being OE on many Renaultsport models. Currently running German produced Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3s: In the dry they are fantastic, and they get even more grippy with temperature. They are nice and progressive, communicate with good feel, and don't snap with lift off oversteer. Excellent wet weather grip, although they take some warming up in the winter. As mentioned in previous posts, the V tread design fills with snow, and they are crap on ice too.
I'd go for the same again: however, since the introduction of the Goodyear Eagle Asymmetrics, production of the older GSD3 it has effectively replaced has been restricted to fewer sizes and moved to China I believe. They aren't getting great write-ups, and I've read on more than one forum of them being unreliable and that grip can suddenly seem to just disappear? Anyone else bought GSD3s recently, and / or able to comment? They are all E marked. German ones have DE on the sidewall: China CN.
Managed to find supply only Michelin Pilot Exalto 2 (195/50 R15 82V TL) for £52.51 including vat which I gather is pretty good. With the GSD3s (same size and rating) at £48.63 but now produced in China, I think it's a no-brainer to go for the Michelins.
Cheers

182 Trophy #274
can said supplier get 16's 205/45's?
Yep. Assuming you are talking Michelin Pilot Exalto 2s (not Goodyears) 205/45 R16 83V are £90.80, and 83W are £92.10 including vat (bear in mind these prices will increase in 24 hours)
V is rated to 240 kph (149 mph) whereas W is 270 kph (167mph)
With respect to our friend S31LEN, I'm sure he/she is open to offers considering you would still have to buy a fourth tyre from somewhere else anyway. Unfortunate that the rarer sizes cost so much more.
With this being only my second post on Cliosport, I'm wary of writing who the supplier is, because I don't want to be accused of advertising them or being linked to them: Therefore I'm going to simply quote from earlier in this very thread.....
when people mention Conti's in here... which ones are they referring to?
Conti SportContact 1, 2 or 3?
reason I ask is because the SportContact 2 were never fitted as standard to the RS range, however are the most readily available from most places. The other 2 were standard fitment on the 172 cup and the 197/200?

On camskill.co.uk, you can get a set of 4no. 195/45 R16's for £273.96, which includes delivery. Fitting would obviously be on top but not £75 more.
Or I have a price of £309.84, which includes fitting via blackcircles.com. If interested, PM me
Clio RS 172 /Trafic
Toyo have recently launched their new R1-R tyre at the Autosport show. Its a road legal track tyre that is between the T1-R and R888 tyre. Said to be very good in all conditions unlike R888's. Look on their website for outlets as not all Toyo dealers will be selling the R1-R's. I'm planning to replace my T1-R's next time with these tyres.
Clio Williams & 182
I am going to test R1R's next as well as I didn't want the R888's on a car I primarily drive on the road in very rainy UK...
Nothing at the mo :(
hmm im ordering a full set tonight.. cant decide between toyo T1R or hankook v12 :S.. love the look of T1Rs though

Gentlemans spec 200
I've run both. If the toyo were 1/3 the price of the hankook's, I'd still get the hankook's.Damo_Sport said:hmm im ordering a full set tonight.. cant decide between toyo T1R or hankook v12 :S.. love the look of T1Rs though
Clio 172
I am looking around for best prices fitted but the hankooks are rare from what i can tell. The thing i am not sure about is would the clio 172 get away with W rated tyres and also a heavier load tyre like 84?
I have really only been looking at the standard 195/45/16 V 80 simply because i am not sure what i would get away with, that also includes going up to 205 as well as i will still be using the standard 16" alloys.
