Which tyres

[Adie]

I need to replace my tyres on my Mk2 Clio 172, what are you all running on? And what would you recommend? - Best all rounders please!

michelin exalto 2s

 

[White16valver]

Do a search on all forums for tyres - plenty of posts already done!

But, in my mind, Goodyear Eagle F1s

 

[RS-Steve]

As above but DO NOT BUT TOYOS esp at this time of year!

they are awful in the wet!

michelins are way cheaper than that from mytyres!

Toyos must perform differently on the Clio because ive got two Toyo Proxes (similar tread pattern to Eagle F1) fitted to the front wheels of my Fiesta and it grips so well in the wet over the old Pirelli P6000s.

The Exalto 2s on my 182 are better, but I suspect in very wet conditions the Toyos would be better - this is based on me doing a lot of motorway miles in pissing rain (here in Scotland of course!) and grip on roundabouts (i live in a new town where weve got tons of them).
