As said above really!
Getting my summer wheels powder coated this week (hopefully) and going to be needing new rubber on them aswell!!!
Got a suzuki ignis sport, budgets on just now which runs like a dog in the wet!
basically need something mid range which will let me go round and not through corners in the wet!!!
Probably looking to spend roughly £80-£100 per tyre.
They're only 15's IIRC so shouldnt be too difficult guys!

A two second google says they are 185/55/15.
I'd put these on:

An excellent tyre by all accounts.

Hankook have some really good tyres at the moment - ...V12 Evo...
Got these on the ITR. Genuinely excellent in the wet, sidewalls a little soft in the dry (but the larger size 'XL' versions w/reinforced sidewalls would probably be better), but a liability in the snow.Eagle F1 Asymmetrics very good (if very stiff) if you can get them in the right size. Contisport-2 or -3 also very good all-rounder. B'stone RE050A also definitely worth a look.
Thanks guys, the Hankook k110 V12 Evo's sound good, will see how much my mechanic can order them in for!!! usually get slightly cheaper when i get tyres through him! :P So the roughly £45 would probably drop down to £35!!!
Out of all the semi sport/budget tyres they seem to be getting the best reviews and seems like most Value for money! If they end up being a dog in the wet i'll just have to take it easier and learn my lesson for next time i need new tyres! Winter snow grip isnt bothering me really... got cheap alloys for the winter, i'll shove on some snow tyres on them when the time comes and i'll be fine!

Hankook may get good test results, but when i see a car with hankook or kuhmo etc written on four corners of the car. To me it just reads cheapo tyres this cars a shed thats not looked after. Why not spend a tenner more a corner and have the look of michelin tyres and peace of mind that the only thing between you and the road isnt cheap and nasty.

Because Michelins are usually 50-100% more per tyre, not a tenner and often don't perform as well. I prefer to buy my tyres by how they perform, not by whether the brand impresses you.OnTheOverrun said:

Wow, you're so out of touch it's not funny.My car is probably better condition that cars half it's age, and it's running the same tyres it left the factory on. They'd be Hankook Ventus Prime.
Another vote for the hankook ventus v12 evos, just fitted to my car and I'm genuinely impressed. Only fitted them as they were pretty much all that was in stock in my size on that day, I must have struck lucky as they really are very good and that's compared to the goodyears they replaced which for the price I paid were pants. I'd definetly reccomend the hankooks as a very good tyre!!

You need to forget your preconceptions and do a bit of research into some of the tyres Hankook and Kuhmo make now.I've had Falken FK452's on the front of my car for the last year, and whilst they may not be quite as good as something like a Michelin PS2, they are extremely good for the money.
I've pushed them harder than most ever will, and they preformed very well.
