Renault Clio RS 200
Michelin pilot sport 3
Clio 172 Cup Mondial
Dont get p zero on the front they are nothing compared to Michelin ps3. the best dry grip which is availble in that size is yokohama ad08. I find a good resource is www.tyrereviews.com

if you go cheap get hankook v12's or rainsport 2's. toyo t1r is a good option but they last literally like 4k when driven reasonably hard
I'm running the Hankooks after my PES's ran out...
They have a softer tyre wall so the car feels like it's 'sinking' at first when your cornering reasonably hard. I got used to it in time however.
Still a very capable tyre.

Flol what?
Pzero are equally as good as the PS3.
I prefer them over them personally.

Utter tripe regarding the Pirelli's. They are as good as PS3's.

I like the all weather grip of the P-zeros. I run them on the DERV.

Check Camskill for cheap tyres
Continental Contisports ..... just to throw another good tyre into the mix
but whats good ?
cheapest ?
longest lasting ?
best grip ?
lasts on track days?
there are so many things related to use and how you drive its hard to actually say one is better than another from the top brands ,and tyre tests are always tricky to actually work out where there is an overall advantage from the big boys .

Mich are great all round, but you get what you pay for.. Hankook are Mid range tyres. Why do people want to pay budget money and think they are putting a great tyre on the car?
Common sense, renault built the car with a mix of conti, mich, and Pirelli . These are the tyres to buy if you have a daily driver if not then softer Yoko AD08's or Toyo R888's are the next step up for fast road (DRY) conditions.

Im using T1R's got the car as a daily so they have lasted me 4K already with loads of tread, But does depend on what you're using the car for.

People who find the Pzeros crap when driving hard are either driving stupidly or there cars had issues in my eyes.
I properly hammered mine on the road for around 12-14k on the front and done 16 1/4 runs at a drag day with them and they were absolutely superb.
Only reason I don't run them now is because they aren't available in 195/50/15

I find they don't hold when going around sharp corners (I,e a short/hard 90 degree corner at anything over 40mph). They also don't perform well off the line.

I'm with Lal B3N on this. Anyone who is struggling with the performance of P-Zeros must either have something wrong with their car, or drive like a lunatic / can't control the throttle. Any tyre pushed hard enough will lose traction, but i'd say thats more about driver skill than the limits of the tyre!
I did 3 track days and 12k on my P-Zeros before the outer edge became illegal. I've just put another set on as I was so impressed. Seem to be cornering fine here

Wondered what you were talking about then, until I googled it and Yoko tyres came up. Never seen these before, good in wet and dry?

I've got PZero Neros all around on my 182. Best tyre I've ever used. The all weather grip is great. They really really cling on in the wet. I had no problem on snow with them.
If you are breaching the grip available in the dry from them on the road then you must be driving dangerously. There is loads to play with.

I changed my winter tyres a few weeks too early and had my P Zeros on in the snow. They were f**king useless. A great tyre but I couldn't run them all year in my neck of the woods.

Conti sport 3 I found very good. Have rainsports atm, must say slightly disappointed so far!
WRX
PZeroNero here too. To get the best out of them, you do have to play with tyre pressures though. Use them on road and track. And to quote somebody I walked past at Mallory Park last Saturday "That black Clio with the BTM sticker is f**king flying" lol. I was keeping up with a Nissan GtiR on 888s, Impreza was getting smaller in the mirror etc. and I'm no race driver.

From my own personal experience . I found the Toyo T1-R's utter shite in the wet , that was on my 172 . Continentals were good but didn't last . On my 182 Michelin PE2's were excellent in the dry and wet but only last about 8k miles . I'm now on my 2nd set of Uniroyal Rainsport 2's , brilliant tyre in both the wet and dry and lasted longer than any other tyre i've had on a 1*2 , i got 12k out of a set . Bearing in mind we live in a wet climate , that's the tyre i would go for . About £75 a corner fitted last time i bought some in January .

The tyre walls are a bit softer on the Rainsports . I found running them at 36psi on the front made a big difference .
