Need some new tyres.
Im leaning towards Michelin pilot sport 3 or Nankang NS2R. has anyone had any experience with these on their cars or have any better recommendations?
my budget is £550.

I've ran NS2R before on a 15", very good grip, stiff sidewalls, fine in the wet aswell really.

Now running a Kumho TM02 on a 16", they are a bit more tarmac focused but still a great tyre for road use.

Still to try R888R or AD08RS.

I'm a massive Kuhmo fan, ecsta are excellent think it's the 71 I had on the Glamza rep, in the wet it was scary how much grip you had, excellent tyre, have a set on the GT aswell, will get the number but they where excellent too in all weather's.
Caldina wears Kuhmos too and the Auris will be getting a set whenever the king yangs currently on wear out :)

I have been rolling with uniroyal rains ports tyres for over 10 year fulltime in every weather with no problems and well priced too
im using them at the moment and have done so for many years too. wanted to try something different now, i have read plenty of good reviews on the ns2r's in wet and dry conditions.

So after using nankang ns2r's for a couple of weeks, I can confirm the are very good in the dry and wet. They honestly transform how the car grips and handle in a positive way. I have had my glanza for over 15 years and these are the best tyres I have had. Would highly recommend these.

That's good to know. As above I have been rockin rain sports for years, but always wondered what I would go for next given the price and performance of the rain sports.
How do you find the car handles on 16s compared to 15s?
