    Tyre time...again!

    What tyres we all running on here? Id like a nice comprimise between traction and wear rate. My car goes through tyres pretty quick as it is.

    Obvious choice is Toyo, but they not too soft?

    I had toyo proxes and ruined them in 3 months of road driving

    I now have some avons on, dunno what model or whatever but they seem loads better. Like the tyre wall is stronger so it corners better

    Michelin PEII's would be my choice

    Toyo Proxes are only £31 @ Motor World though mate in 195/50/15 which is a bargain
