What size are you looking for and what's your budget?

Yokohama's new AD09 is a great tyre if it's an option. :thumbs up:

I don’t think they’re available in that size anyway. Probably worth looking at Bridgestone Potenza Sports or Michelin PS5 rubber then. :thumbs up:

To find the range of tyres suited to your car, go to the Kwik Fit website and type in your registration. You don't have to purchase from Kwik Fit, but their website is very good and simple to use. Provided your car still has the original wheels, it comes up with a list of options, which then allows you to make an informed choice.

If you have changed the wheels, then the Kwik Fit website allows you to search by size, but you do obviously ned to check you are inputting the correct size information.

Went on black circles, it’s 205’s that are on it, eurotyres told me khumo’s were the best for handling, but I was looking for good all rounders, tbh the car doesn’t do much mileage, think it was 1900 miles since the last mot

You can also try Camskills and Mytyres for regular rubber or DemonTweeks if you're after something more sporty. Both Camskills and DemonTweeks are usually cheaper for me than Blackcircles.

No one brand is best for handling - usually a garage will tell you what's "best" to get rid of stock.

What's actually best is much more subjective and down to what you like the feel of. :thumbs up:

Used to run the rainsports on my cars. Very good handling, esp in the wet but are a bit soft, 20k tops on a daily driver

The mini doesn’t do a great deal of mileage tbh, think it was 1800 since the last MOT
