anyone know what the best tyre between wanli, falken and road-stone would be ? i was told by the tyre guy that wanli would be the better of the three. i have never heard of it myself until today but have heard some cars like Ferrari's, Aston martins and AMG Mercedes come factory standard with them. it could be a load of bullshit though. any suggestions would be great. thanks.

Wanli on an AMG merc..... I smell Farmyard!

All are cheap tyres, out of the three id say Falken, however, don't scrimp on tyres as shit ones ruin the handling on a 6 dead easy.

Budget for some more spends and get some decent rubber.

Ferrari work closely with Pirelli on tyres, so I'd be surprised to find wanli as their stock supplier. 5 minute google for "Wanli Tyres" pretty much sums it up... avoid. Falken's aren't a bad make really.

Better than Toyo's all day long and for the price cannot be beaten, even good on a 205 which is very tyre dependant.
To get any better your looking at Michelin, Bridgestone etc

Must get my ditch finders of the back of mine. They are over 7 years old and still have some tread left but they are horrendous in the wet. I was joining the m25 from the m3 the other week on a tight right hand slip road - wasn't even going that quick and I almost lost the back end - felt like I was on ice. A very squeaky bum moment.
