Right, Im just about ready to need new tyres on a 07 model Type R with 19's on it. Every time you read blackcircles.com or tyrereview.co.uk for every person that has had the tyre and likes it, there about 2 that say its rubbish,

What im looking at are either:

Yokohama Advan Sport V103
Yokohama S-Drive
Hankook V12 evo k110?

Has anyone had any of these and has an opinion on them? They are all in the same price range.

Tyre size is 235/35/R19 if you have any other suggestions?

Cheers

Just go to WHSmith and buy some rubber bands - stretch them round and that will be about the same as 19s on 35 smile

I have hankooks on my corrado VR6 tracktoy for about 1500 miles - good so far...

Cheers

235x35x19's, are you sure as mine are 225x35x19?...

I've had both Yoko & Michelin Pilot Sport 2's on mine and couldn't fault either of them.. I think out of the 2 i prefer the Michelins but you'll be more than happy with the Yoko's...

Pilot Sport 3s are the way to go. Huge improvement in grip in both wet and dry conditions over the Potenza's.
