Best tyres for 16" wheels?
As opposed to 17 or 18"...any thourghts?
I know tyres with stiffer side walls help. I've got Eagle F1's at the moment.

Hi
I have commented on your problems in general, i ran two sets of f1's on my MY99 with the stock 16" rims and had absolutely no problems with them - especially not grip wise event when well worn, hot or cold dry or wet!
Have you checked your pressures at a couple of different places?

I've been running F1s on 16 for a few years, and not had any real problems.
The most recent set took an age to bed in (not helped with all the cr*ap on the road over New Year). They do need a few psi more than some tyres to be at their best - I run 33-34 psi.

Yes, tyre pressures are correct and been checked. I think the condition of some of the roads in cambridgeshire this winter is very poor and doesn't help.
