I've just put on a set of four Bridgestone Potenza RE002 from mytyres.com correct size and speed rating, I'm no expert but it drives better than the ones that were on ( Bridgestone S03's )

If it's fronts you are after I have some bargain uniroyal rain sports 3’s in the right size for a Chim (205/55 15). These are brand new and never been on the car. (see the classifieds - tyres section).

It's virtually impossible to get hold of these tyres at the moment as they are on a 5 week backlog.

If you drive solely on roads, I think these are better than Toyo T1R's as the wet grip is amazing (as it should be as the Toyo is a very old design now).

If you are a track day driver, you shouldn't really be looking at T1R's either, try the R1R's instead.

(PS - if you are interested in my RS3’s, be quick as they will be going back to Germany if not sold this weekend).
