What tyres?

[NiceCupOfTea]

What is the received wisdom about the best suited tyres for an S? Currently I have some Bridgestones of some description which have worn well but are pretty old and got an advisory for cracks at the last MOT so time to replace.

I liked Toyo T1-Rs on my old MX-5 and have some Falkens on my 323i that do the job. Have also liked Uniroyal RainSport3s on less sporty cars for all weather performance...

Tyres are very odd things. New tyres are always better than old tyres, so the temptation is always to say that the type you have changed to is better - in reality the new tyre with more tread is better than the old tyre with less tyre!

Also, what is good in one size might not be in another size, and different weight/types of cars will react differently to the tyres. Always found that the toyo proxes t1r work best on light cars - great on my old mx5 and my wife's puma but not so good on my old Saab 900 turbo. Nb toyo proxes t1r is a very different tyre from the proxes cf1.

Also, expensive not always best - pirelli p6000 is supposedly a premium tyre, yet they have an awful reputation. I've fared better with midrange tyre in the past - toyo, falken, Uniroyal...

Might give the t1rs a go...
