Quick and simple, Avon ZV5'S at 308 for 4 corners or Toyo Proxes for 360. As that tit from big brother would say....
You decide!

Out of those two, the Toyo. Never had any worries with um



The goodyears are good in both the wet and the dry but don't ever seem to last long, think i got about 18k from each of my sets. They were on a BMW and rotated regularly, don't know if they're any better on a AWD though.

no one mention vredestein there a good tyre and around £70 a corner.

Jap Import

Used Vredstein for years on my old scorts, can't seem to find them anymore

They were really good tyres and seemed to last forever compared to most other brands

Aren't Uniroyal the same as Vredestein? Sure I heard it somewhere.

I've just yesterday put 2 Uniroyal Rainsport II's onto the front of my Pug and even now the grip is phenominal. But thats a 900kg hot hatch not a 1250kg saloon, so dunno if the characteristics are the same.

I'd go with GSD3's from Camskill, but beware, Goodyear are phasing them out for some ridiculous reason (have these on rear of my car).

Toyo proxes are good, but when you lose grip they give you no warning. All or nothing tyre I've found in personal experience (on a Scoob).

I have Uniroyal (made by Continental) Rainsports on mine at the moment as they came with my alloys. They are pretty good to be fair and quite long lasting.
However as soon as its time to change them i'll be getting toyo t1-r's (had on my previous scoob and current scoob before the wheel change) as they are much cheaper than its competitors about the same quality.

T1 proxes FTW.

Falken are a liability
Seen too many crashes on track on Avons to give them an ok
Goodyears used to be good on old eagle F1s
Pirellis made too much road noise
RE070s for newage are apparantly corking

Going to try Kumhos next although I can't fault my R888s one bit so far

I'll 4th that. Polls are easier

Always got the impression that the Parada's are too skittish in the wet, which is what put me off buying them for the front of my hatch.

For the record, I've had the Rainsport II's on about 70 miles now on the front with the GSD3's on the rear and they are a fantastic tyre! The overall grip wet/dry is phenominal, even though the car admittedly weighs 900kg. Dunno how they'd react on an AWD car, but big thumbs up from me.

I have has Avons for the past 2 years without a problem. They also overhang the rim a bit so you save your wheel from kerbing

well it looks like neither of my bloody choices are popular lol. So i've priced up the gsd3's from camskills and they're coming out at 75 a tyre. just phoned a local dealer and he reckons he can only get em for 85!
Same firm reckon they'll fit em for 30 if i bring them in so would you guys say 330 all in is pretty good for a full set of gsd3's.
**** me i'm so tight getting!!!

Sounds a good price. Just getting the GSD3's for my Pug was such a pain as I needed 195/50/15. Cheapest I could find 'em was £55 a corner plus fitting. So with the Uniroyals I got em delivered for £88 (pair) and fitted at my mates tyre garage for a tenner.

He usually charges £8 a corner for tyre removal, new tyre fitting and balancing, so £30 sounds about right.

You should definitely tell the difference in the wet with the Goodyears though, they're brilliant honestly.
