Got falkens on mine, grip much better than other tyres I've had in the dry, not so great in the wet, but I don't tend to hoon it around in the wet anyway though.

I've used s drives on it for a year or so. tried t1r's before that and s drives are worlds better. of course thats only my opinion based on my own car and how i drive it though. id rather have 195 50 15 though and will be trying ad08 yoke's next.

Uniroyals are brilliant tyres, iv got them on my corsa.

Find them better in the dry and massively better in the wet, seem to last longer too.

I dont spank my car when its wet but in terms of safety, aquaplaning and understeer are completely eliminated.

Best money you will ever spend

Corsa 1.6 sport - 1
1.7 puma engined fiesta - 0

Keeping corsa's on the redline since 2008

Tyres are personal preference. Need to name a budget? Fast road set up just for a toy try the federal track tyres. Brilliant on the road and last way longer than 888's and yoko's.

so do these federal track tyres have a specific name. For example the toyos are called "t1r's". Or are they called federal "track type tyre"
