what tyres - 16", grippy and last resonably long?

[Martin_172]

my GT DCi is needing 2 new front tyres after 16k, not sure what to go for, its got conti energy somethings on it, they are ok, sidewalls are a bit soft and floppy but pretty grippy, good in the wet and last resonably long so was going to just stick another 2 of them on it, but open to suggestions?

ContiSports or Mitchy PE2's

michelin are pretty good

Michelin PS3's

I currently have T1R's and can't wait to wear them out to get PS3's

Uniroyal Rainsport2's awesome for the price compared to PS2/PS3 etc etc

are PS3's the replacement for the PE2? i think the GT must run an odd tyre size as im struggling to find much in its size and they are expensive as f**k!

it runs 195/50/16

Rainsport2's get another thumbs up from me! Wet traction is quite honestly more than you'd ever need on the road. The ability to brake from 70 in the wet is amazing.

Vredestein Sportrac 3. Someone else on here really liked them as well. Can't remember who though.

+1

I'm well impressed with mine, although i've no clue how long they last as i've only just started using them.

decent list so far problem is i cant find anything in my size other than whats currently fitted @ over £300 a pair lol!!

 

[SC03OTT]

What size do you need? I just assumed, with the tyres I linked.

 

[Martin_172]

195/50/16 is the standard size, i dont know if i can use any others im not clued up with wheels and tyres i just replace whats already on it usually! lol
