try the Hankook
we sell shitloads at work, good value, seem to last long, and no-one ever has anything bad to say about them
and your car is gonna eat tyres anyway, so why bother spending £20 more per tyre?
i'd reccomend them, i'll be getting them next, probably tomorrow, when my toyos wear out in 3 miles

Continental Premium Contacts and Eco Contact 3s are also excellent tyres.
But in your choice, I'd go for the Hankook if I had a car that ate tyres, otherwise the P7000.

Out of those, the PZero's, they are good tyres, and with a LET you probably need as much traction as you can possibly get!You usually get what you pay for with tyres.
Dont think I'd buy anything other than P-Zero's, Bridgestone Potenza's or Goodyear Eagle F1's- or anything of similar quality.

Got Hankook Ventus Primes on my Ibiza and they are great. So much better than the Continental Contact Sport things I had before. Plus they represent good value.

out of that list I'd go with the hankooks too. I've had 4 sets now on the daily car very good tyres eso for the money. I'm not goign to claim they will stick the car to the roof, but they aren't bad like marshalls etc.. and are better than toyo's imo.

Well I've had shitty standard tyres, then falkens and dunlop sp sports and good year eagle f1s and definately the good years for grip. Downside is because they're a softish tyre they'll wear out quicker. Pff... details.

not really, they are a really hard compund compared to conti or similar, and smoke a lot, like nankang
but at the end of the day, a tyre is a tyre, and i truly doubt most people ever notice any difference between different ones under normal everyday circumstances

did any of you lot other than corsa5door and james actually read my post
I had to choose out of those as that was what they had in stock and i desperately needed tyres that day!
In the end they couldnt find the Pzeros   They told me this after they had the wheels off my car and tyres off the rims.
So i went with pirelli P7000's  (£162 all fitted balanced etc)
Its fooking icy out so cant really tell u if they are any good or not

And i would always spend lots on tyres! Its the only thing between your car and the road, its the difference of having a car tha\t handles well or badly.
Would be pointless to skimp on tyres then push 200bhp through them 
Makes perect sense to buy decent tyres
