Hi, looking at changing my tyres again!!!!! Always gone for Bridgestone, pricey tho at £110 a corner! I need 4, looking at falken 452, they a good all rounder!? Tbh which tyre does grip in wet!!! & got in my head about road noise! I've had a cheaper tyre in the past & it did give me road noise! Bridgestones are spot on for me, just found after a few thousand miles the grip does go abit!! & I'm sure there just as good tyres out there cheaper & do same!
 
Me and many others prefer Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2s, all round great tyre and has won many awards. F1 Autocentres charge £105 fitted.

I have in the past had Cooper Zeons, they last forever and seemed alright on my 140ps Kia, but they will probably come unstuck with K1 power! They were noisy too and not too cheap.

Other tyres I have had wouldn't suit you, Marangoni on my Fabia were dreadful, Michelin EnergySavers were ok but eco tyres and they don't big sizes. Goodyear EffiecientGrips were brilliant, but again, not performance orientated.

Not sure if any of that helps at all, but there you go.

Robbo & mike thanks very much!!! That's the answers I wanted!!! Going to go for goodyear eagles then!!!
 
Just got mine fitted today, it's good to have grip again. Even in the wet with 260lbft, lovely smooth untroubled traction. Happy days.
 
Mine had Falkens on the front wheels when I first bought the car and had virtually no grip.

Hankook V12 Evo and Goodyear Eagle F1 are similarly priced and good all round tyres.

Funnily enough, I've got v12 Evos on the rear still. They are still too good to replace.
 
Happy days*! Just ordered mine at local garage!! Not as cheap as camskills tho gutted!!! I've got them for £110 fitted each! So been bummed at £440 on total lol!!
 
Just checked the Camskill link above and it was letting me order without saying anything about out of stock. (I didn't actually click order as i don't need any)
Currently at £89.99 ea

I can't comment on them as I haven't used them.
I can say the F1 Assy 2 are the best tyre I have had. Reduction in road noise from the Pirelli Zeros I had on is huge. Amazing grip in dry and wet as well, compared to previous tyres I have had.

I used to have the non- performance version of them and rated them, but my car only had 120bhp so not sure how they would cope with more power. I reckon the eagle F1s are the best bet, cannot believe the traction even in 2nd gear, makes overtaking in the wet so much easier!
