Iv always had good things to say about the Dunlop sp Sport maxx 205/45/16 them and the Toyo proxies are my 2 go to tyres as for prices it differs from place to place camskill are a good online tyre supplier.

I'm using sportmaxx on my cup wheels and they seem great. Not done many miles on then yet though.

Got Hancook V12 Evo's on my wife's GTI and they seem really good and i'm always impressed how good they feel in the wet.

Michlin PS3 are a pretty damn good tyre!

im running bridgestone potenzas 165/50/15, gives a very subtle stretch and excellent tyres

Toyo Proxes for me, very good tyre and not found its limit yet.

Thanks for all the replies, I best get looking at prices etc now, proxies seem to be relatively cheap too so I'm leaning towards them at the moment.

I'm with Joe on this one, I have them on mine and i think my mid 13sec pass on them proves they have the grip and I am finding them a really well wearing tyre.

Ummm... What do people think of Nangkans? I know someone who can get me some REALLY cheap all in, so I'm leaning towards them now?

okish in the dry, almost certain death in the wet.

Mate really how cheap you want vs safety?

I have tested Nankang s2.
Its not for sport use and really when its wet its funny.

Otherwise its "okey" tires in the dry like rover220 said
You get what you payed for tbh!
