do a search mate, been covered a thousand times, its basically a flip up between parada spec 2's, eagle f1's and toyo t1r's, diff people prefer each 1 i believe, but if u search ule find loads of discussion on them

I have Yokohama A539's on mine at the moment, great tyre but they are hard compound and between them and the coilovers u feel every stone u go over.

T1R's good? dont have a laugh. Im currently using these and i thought they were quite poor on road let alone when i took the car out on track. They are reasonable for road use, for track use they are a waste of time IMO. But they are cheap which is appealing.

Currently using the Hankook RS2 which i find very nice even on track. At £57 per tire i really recommend.

Never used the P SPEC 2 but heard good things. They are also cheap.

Imo the best tyre available for road conditions from very dry to very wet, with a low noise & pretty durable yet soft compound are the Yokohama parada spec 2's .. on 15s ideally id want a 195/45 or 195/50 tyre to keep the rolling diameter as close as possible to 21 inch.

hope that helps.

I personally dont like the feel of 45 profile. 50 is perfect, 55 can be nice for comfort but bit too much flex in the corners.

Since iv gotten 205/40's on the 16s i really love the way they feel, a lower profile really does change the way the car bends round a corner.. it really reduces the sway by alot :eek: :haha:

lol, i agree on 16's a 45 profile is nice, on a 15 im just not sure. Plus they look silly on 15's in my opinion.

T1R i find are good aswell, the 45's especially cos no flex in the tyre wall. but there are loads for different people, yokos & bridgestone potenza to name a few, im not going to say other tyres are muck cos my car is not same as other peoples, but if you do not have much to spend the T1R might be your best bet!!!:)
