Firm?
What do you have at the moment and how old are they?

Well the rears are kleber quadraxer which are all season tyres which were great when the weather was cold but not quite so good in the warm. The fronts are a cheapo budget tyres which i got when i bought some wheels so god knows how old they are!!!

Dunlop sport response or blu, can't remember exactly where on mine when I bought it and they were nice, I've got 15" wheels no as it's easier to get tyres for them.

Others can give you a good recommendation but I can say that most reasonable tyres will be a vast improvement over what you have. I'd also recommend getting the alignment done at the same time. That will make just as much difference.

My eunos has 2 or 3 year old Champiro tyres on the front and it has remarkable braking grip even in the wet.

It's now got brand new Toyo Proxes on the rear and they too seem to be very grippy indeed, although I've only used them on a bone dry road and they've only got perhaps 20 miles on them so far.

+1 for these. Mine have been on the rear for several months now and have been excellent!

I've just stuck a set of Falken ZE914's on the back of mine and have to say I'm very impressed so far. Although it's much less slidy than it used to be on the old bald tyres. frown
