I am after a tyre that performs well in the following:

Wet grip
Dry Grip
Track use
Tread wear not being too major
Decent price per tyre delivered.
Speed rating around the 140mph mark to allow for the Rallye on track Big grin

I have a couple of examples below that i've found, ideally i'd like to get a set of 4 in 195/50/R15 for as much under £200 as possible.

Any decent advice in tyre would be appreciated thanks!
Bridgestone

Goodyear

In 50 profile I believe the best is Michelin ps3s. There were something like 53 pound a corner. Have a look at the thread made not long ago about them.

If you are going for 50 profile the world is your oyster and for way less than £200 per tyre! You can still get Michelin PE2s in this size which are highly rated on here, though the Michelin PS3 is a more modern tyre deign. Although they are merely above average in the wet, the Yokohama Advan AD08 is apparently superb in the dry and for track use.

I've just put a set of Maxxis pro-r1 (marked as Traction AA) on the front of mine £110 all in and can highly recommend them. As grippy as anything I've tried before wet or dry. I went for Maxxis as they are getting a great name in the bike world... in blind tests the are up there/beating the Michelins, Pirellis, etc... on track. If your not a tyre snob, give 'em a go.

Rainsport 2 are too soft for track. Will bugger off very quickly indeed.

The G-force profiler 2's are awesome if you can find them, never ever let me down wet or dry and it's fair to say the car gets driven hard... I need another two. Hovis, where are you getting yours from??

+1 but not quite as good in the wet. Don't last as long either. Great tyre though.

After a long time looking for tyres I went with Avon ZV5s. I looked at the AD08s or what ever they're called but I wanted something that's good all round. Cheap as well £70 a corner for 55 profile on black circles.

Both of which are not great.
