Looking at getting a new set of tyres.
Looking to spend £50 a corner, Parada Spec 2's look good, but can anyone recommend anything else?
Cheers

Hankook RS2, semi trackday tyre. I had them on my integra.

Nice I'll give them a look. How are they in the wet?

RS2's were great but they dont make them any more.

What car is it for?

I can't recommend a tyre but I can highly recommend these people http://www.tyretraders.com/ I used them for the first time last week because they were £12 a tyre cheaper than the usual competitors for the particular tyre of my choice.. I ordered four tyres on Thursday morning & they turned up on Friday morning.

Yokohoma Advan Neova AD08 if you want something sticky.

Federal 595 RSR are reccomrmded for a sunny day/track car. Not really an all year prospect I don't think...?

[veevee]

Toyo T1Rs, or whatever the replacement is, fit the bill.

[falkster]

Do you need to have 195 or would you be able to fit 205/50/15? If you could it'll open more options for you.

You used to be able to get them for £25 each in this size

[Weyro]

Found those toyo's for £34 each, seems a good deal

How are they for wear? and wet conditions?

[AnotherGareth]

We like Vredestein Quatrac 3 although they're a bit more than your budget. You haven't really said what characteristics are important to you.

Because they are rubbish. Soft sidewalls. No grip in the wet. Even worse in cold conditions. But a very good price.

TVR boys love them. I love mine.

I have heard they are not as good on heavy cars though.

Many MX5 drivers have moved to Rainsport 2s for this reason (195/50 15 is OE size so they buy a lot of them as a community!)

I always go for parada's in that size for my clio, hankook v12 evo are also very good

They are great, got them on my MR-S very progressive, car slides beautifully, they don't overheat on track but they don't actually offer huge grip though if that's what you are after, they are no R888 for example. Overall probably my favorite tyre the RS2.
