Right i need 4 new tyres, can get them fitted free so will order online for maximum cheapness ;)
Ive kinda come to the conclusion that toyo proxes are the way forward, £285.40 posted from www.topgear.co.uk.
So, do any of you guys know of anywhere cheaper ?
Or
Can you recomend any other tyres that may make me change my mind from the proxes, i like the look of paradas but wet weather grip isnt all that good with them.

205/45/16's i think.

Thanks for any info
Dan

I personally would pay that little bit extra and go for Goodyear Eagle F1's. I have them in 205/45/16 all round on my car and i love the way they ride, reasonably quiet, really good grip in the dry and still really good grip n the wet, they are lasting well as well and i drive alot of miles. They are also predictable as in you know when they are going to "let go" when pushing too hard. Not too expensive if you shop around. i managed to get 2 from my local garage for £150 fitted and balanced which is £75 a tyre which isnt too bad.

Yep +1 for T1R's here ;) Very quiet and good grip (wet and dry) Just moved to them from Pirelli PZeros and the difference is excellent

Yep I just got 4 of these so feel a bit safer for the winter now, got mine from Camskill, they are a good price but prob just cos most people want them fitted as well and camskill just deliver them to you .

1 for yoko paradas here. More grip in the dry than you can use on a public road, but they aint to clever in the wet

I hate Nero's with a passion.

P Zeros lasted longer than my Toyos. But now I have Yoko Parada Spec 2s and they are great :D

I will buy them again next time.
