decent priced performance tyres
« on: 22 December 2011, 00:08 »
obviously a very important choice if not THE, but can any1 recommend a good performance tyre which are reasonably priced and are particular suited to our very various weather patterns, ie, dedent all rounder for wet grip and dry, thanks

Rainsport 2s. very very good tyres, especially in the wet. very similar to toyo t1rs, only difference is a slightly different compound making them better in the wet.

hankook v12s are also good tyres for similar money

Toyos or Falkens are good choices.
