Faulken or arrow speed
I normally have Faulken but someone has now mentioned arrow speed which are apparently part of Goodyear, any advise will be appreciated peeps, both budget tyres. I have a classic version 4 running 300/300

why would you want either? i would want a decent make of tyres , especially with 300bhp. spend a little bit more and get some decent rubber, not worth skrimping on

Good advice, after all it's the only thing (hopefully) that's touching the road
I have Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 not the cheapest but get good reviews :- http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Go...ymmetric-2.htm

I've got Falken Fk542's on the blob wrx and the Litchfield and have no problems with them in the wet, dry or on snow. The Litchfield is running 400bhp and and i've never had an issue with grip or the car throwing it's self into a ditch....

You pay for what you get with tyres.... plain and simple.
Most the brands being mentioned on this thread are budget, plain and simple.
Why on earth people skimp on tyres for a performance car is utterly beyond me. It's probably THE most important part of your car.
A 400bhp Litchfield car with crap Falken's on it.... mental!

Nowt wrong with Falken 452s.
When Bob Rawle mapped my classic a few years back he had them on his 400bhp (or was it 500 - can't remember) daily driver, and rated them very highly.
So I bought some after that for mine and I thought they were great
