I know there's lots of older posts on the subject but tyre technology moves on. Any recommendations for tyres for a Tuscan 2. Road use only, mostly dry (unless caught in a summer downpour in Europe) price less important than duetting the best tyres. Also a little confused, car has 235/40's on the front, 255/35 rear. Lots of people suggest 225/40 on the front but many TVR specialists still supply/fit 235's?? What are the pros and cons and is there really any noticeable difference if the car is set up properly.
OK. Goodyear's seem to work very well and get excellent reviews on the Tuscan with lots of owners recommending them, maybe possibly fragile side walls? There's the P Zero, undoubtably a very good tyre but with mixed general reviews and possiblly not many Tuscans running them. Let's then throw into the mix the new Michelin PS4 which seems potentially very good but with few reviews and none I can find for a Tuscan . There's then the question of 235 or 225 on the front. WOW HELP!!!! All obviously really good tyres and it probably just comes down to personal preference and what works best with such a light and powerful rear drive car. (I wish you could try them back to back ). Still not decided but will post my findings once I've got a few miles under the new tyres whatever they are. I finally changed my F1's for R1R's dropping to 225/40 at the front and 255/35 at the rear with 24psi all round. Loads of grip, stable and the handling feels noticeably sharper, took fido down to France in the summer in sometimes monsoon conditions and they felt fine (gentle right foot). They are noticeably a bit firmer but not unpleasantly so though I do have my nitrons set slightly softer as I mostly drive our super flat British B roads 
The only real problem, more grip, more stable, sharper handling, I need more power
