Its comming up to that time of changing the rubber. The rears have around 2mm before they are at the ware bars and thought I had best start hunting around. I currently have bridgstone S03's on there and love them.

Just had a look online any thoughts on these?

Also what is the speed rating of the tuscan? All these seem to be Y (90)

Toyo Proxes T1-R @ £145.78 Each

Firestone SZ80 @ £132.26 Each

Bridgestone RE050A £142.40 Each

Wow for £115 each might be worth a pop seem to get good reviews from performance car owners too.

stated this before
don't look at the price but buy the best there is
you have < 400 bhp and 1100 kg's with only 4 times 25x5 cm's of contact with the road.
trying to be cheap is going to cost you you're car

I totally agree however if the tyre is good and cheaper than the others then whats the harm?

452's are OK (but not great) when new, but quickly become hard and sh!t@.

I speak from personal experience and wouldn't waste my money on them. T1's are also cheap and highly rated by virtually everyone who uses them - got to be a better bet.
