I need a 195/45/15 tyre (4 of)

On Mytyres there are only a few tyres avalible that i like the look of.

What would be your choice?
Eagle F1's
Unisports
Proxies
or anything else on the list, I need the tyre to have a flat side wall to slip inside the arch as the 60 profile on these wheels at the minute are catching!

they will be about 45-50 a tyre. I get free fitting/balancing and all that crap though. Price isnt the concern though, i want perfomance - Some mother fucking grip !

If you want uniroyal Rainsports Gaz, try http://www.rochfordtyres.co.uk - I got 4 from there in that size for £160 delivered, and if you get free fitting, its a bargain!

Toyo's seem to wear out too quickly, Yoko have shite grip, in both wet and dry conditions IMO as im running them now. I will be trying Eagle F1's or Uniroyal Rainsports next..

If there's little difference in price, i'd go for the Eagle F1's. my fronts lasted 20k before they needed to be replaced (inside edge went), rears are still on, still plenty of tread, and still gripping loads after 25k . Loads of grip in the dry or wet too, so deffinatly going to go with them again come replacement time .
