im spendin too much time searching for tyres online, my birds thinks im turning into a tyre perv.

any hoo after lookin im still none the wiser, seems people are divided in the best tyre choice.
when i bought the car it was fitted with 225/45/16 "infinity" tyres which are pish, virtually no grip in the wet, which being new to rear wheel drive is quite frightening.
im looking for fast road tyes which wont cost the earth.
are p zero's any good, i think they came as standard?

ok, i want a good clean fight with no holding!

ps.... in case you missed my earlier posts this week, i like toyo t1-r's. They are great through deep puddles and dont cost the earth.

Mckean has some A048's in your size and a really good price - you can't get better tyres than that - see classifieds.

I like them as they are not utter sh*t and are cheap.

If anyone does then I want them drugs tested!

Advan Neova's for a mostly road S1

£440 - 10% SE discount when bought from Murrays Lotus in Edinburgh.

Toyos for those who can afford them

Would love Advans, but can't afford them

Mine are tucked up in the shed until spring though

Another vote for the Advan Neovas....

Had value-for-money spec BFGs before the Advans and thought they were decent enough at the time.... imho the Advans are much better and I feel a lot more confident driving the car on & off track with them....

they're not that much more and they look soooo much cooler tooo.

T1-R's . . . perfect cost / performance trade off for a winter tyre . . . you'll get a full set for 220 ish and at this time of year you cannot beat them where it counts, wet weather grip . . .

I've run about 4 sets of S1 advan neova LTS's and they are marginally better, but nothing like twice as good as the price would suggest . . . I'm on my second set of T1-R's after a set of T1-S's and I really don't think they are bad at all . . .
