Where's best to order some? Online delivery, I'll fit them myself.
225/40/18. Want some good ones though, either Michelin's or Bridgestone. Something like that.
Had cheapo budgets on when i got it and it was dangerous! I had 2 part worn michelins lying about in work so chucked em on the front to make do.

Bought the above recently after reading all the recommendations on different forums. Obviously a little nervous with them being cheaper than the competition, but they're actually a great tyre

Toyo Proxes or Uniroyal Rainsports are the cheapest tyre that is actually half decent

Goodyear F1 asymmetric 2s are the best tyre out there for the money imo. £80 a corner from camskill and rated very highly over 99% over the others. Had them on the cupra for 2 years now and in all weathers and on track they're faultless.

I'm running Jinyo YU61 on the front and Toyo Proxes on the rear of the Focus.
I can highly recommend the YU61s for normal road use.

Jinyo? Wtf are they
Normal road use. Does that include times when people pull out infront of you and you need maximum traction when you slam the anchords on? I'd rather not rely on grip from linglong brands.

I was sceptical also but after reading a few reviews took a chance.
They hold the road very well for what they cost.
My views may change once i have worn them in.

Jinyo?! I'd rather run it on bare rims!
Goodyears may be worth a look. Have Michelin pilots on the front and they are brilliant. Even in the wet, and plan on getting it remapped after xmas so don't want shit tyres that will just spin like the ones that were on it when I bought it.

I fitted a set of Eagle F1's Assymetric 2 to my golf. Have been superb after 3k miles. Very good grip in the wet too.

id say you are a jinyu kinda driver really. They aren't a bad budget tbh, not far off as good as a toyo actually.

I got 4x Toyo T1 Proxes 225/40 R18 Y (92) for £270 from Demon Tweeks
Might be a bit of a trail for you though.
