    Yokohama A-Drive are the go for small cars IMHO, great grip in the wet and dry - need to be careful of pressures as some minor changes really threw the handling!

    Budget tyres, can't go past BFGoodrich G Force Sport's hand's down. Have had them on several car's. Excellent grip, hard wearing & also good in the wet.
    Recently I fitted some 195/50R15's Michelin Pilot Preceda's on my old banger & I'll say, if you've got the coin, you won't ever go wrong with these tyre's.

    The best tyre's I've ever had as far as wearing & all round stuff goe's (obviously with a correct wheel alignment with just alittle more negative camber on the front) were 195/50R15 Dunlop Leman's 701's. I had set fitted when I was driving a 250k round trip everyday & got 115K out of them & were still roadworthy, so I sold them on the rims & the new owner got another 30K out of them which was also on a mk1.
    Pitty they don't make them anymore in the same style.

    I had the G Force sports on my Magna In a 235/45 17, and they hung on so hard. Wet or dry, best tyre i'd used. Mine are neary bald on the golf now, im going to get a price on a new set.

    mk2 in pov pack mode at the moment...
    silversones on front and Nexens on rear (goodyear F1 pattern)
    nexens are a bit slipery when pushed hard in the wet, but dry they are a good budget tyre (145.00 each for 205/40 x17) Antdragonist witnessed this on his visit to Tas cupla weeks ago ... best tyres ive had would have to be the formula FM dunlops on my GTi-R pulsar...i wont skimp on tyres on that thing, it chews the cheapies up.....
    Cheers, Benny

    Ordered Toyo T1-R today. 195/50/15 $150 each fitted. I was happy with that

    That's actually a decent price! I'm thinking of the exact same tyres as my next choice. Let us know how well they go

    those things are cheap... and dangerous! i cant believe how crappy they are in the wet compared with the firestones and conti's, and the sidewall is floppy on my 60 profiles.

    just my opinion.... but seriously...
