Really struggling to decide what tyres to go for, any examples out there?
-
185/50 or 195/45's are the best choices tbh.

185/50

i would chose 195/45
i like to see tiny cars whit large tyres!
-
Yea I'm liking the 195's ! There toyo proxies in that size I'm sure =)

I can confirm that there are - because those are Toyo Proxes T1-Rs in that picture :)
-
Yea I thought that by the tread pattern, I had them on my lupo, I thought they were cracking! Never put some real power though them on a lupo tho!

One of my favourite tyres for all round performance. Although tyres are a personal choice thing.

Same here, although i might try out the R888 for summer this year.

I see that you can get yoko's in that size! I'm running them now on 13's and there ace! £85 a corner for the 14's tho
-
I run 195/45/14 rainsport 2's. Can't complain about the grip, although I swear the rainsport 1's were better.
Might give Toyos another whirl next time round. I also remember the surprisingly cheap falkens you can get being very very good for the price.
-
I run Falken 452's on my supra and i can still get the 450 BHP power down in the wet, provided im not in a corner then it just decides to go sideways, no matter what tyres i have on it :D
So i reccomend the Falkens, I have never triey toyo as i always thought that for the price, you go through them rather quickly because of the softer compound.
-
Yoko A539s are my preferred choice.

Realy good in the dry but terrible in the wet, got them on my car at the moment, althought a 185 50 r14 only realy gives a choice of yoko or conti sport contacts (I will be trying the continentals next winter )
-
I hated the ZE512s when I had them, very prone to slipping about in the wet. Moreso than the Toyos.
-
I've had falkens, rainsport 2s and the yoko a539. The falkens I think were the best value for money but the Yokos were by far the best for performance in the wet and dry although their life span wasnt as good as the other two
-
You need to get heat into the Yokos in the wet to make them work.
-
I love my yoko's had conti's last year and really didnt get on with them! Really twitchy! But the yokos are like glue!
