Best tyres for an Integrale Evo 2

[orbtar]

My friend who lives abroad has just been round in his Evo 2 which has been in storage for the last six months. We went to inflate the tyres and noticed a small bulge on one of them. I have told him that he would be better off buying a complete set of new tyres as he bought the car second hand but fully restored last year. Can anyone recommend what would be the best tyre for all round use? Preferably one of the main makes Michelin, Pirelli, Bridgestone etc.
Thanks for any advice.

Evo ran a comprehensive tyre test a few issues back on a 4-wheel drive Audi S3 with a not dissimilar power-to-weight ratio, so that's a pretty fair benchmark for the 'grale.

Continental Contisportcontact 3 came out top with a surprise high result for the Hankook Ventus S2 Evo.

I have been using Dunlop Sport Maxx and Nitto 555 in a hot dry climate, and am not overly impressed by either: reasonably grippy and progressive but not the last word in turn-in bite in dry conditions. Next time I will probably go for Contis.

Michelin pilot sport 3 on mine.

Really good.

Nice quar profile too which suits the car.
