Need more grip!!!!

Radical suggestion

Slow down and drive appropriately to the weather conditions and your car's capabilities.

See there you go. I had these on my ashtray and thought they where a bag of smelly stuff.

I think its all down to the car, same with the P6000. Still the Toyos lasted longer and where cheap £100 a pair in RSR tyres.

I've always rated the Pirelli P6000 as a less sporty good all round tire as well.

Yokos + wet =
P6000 old hat.

Best all round sports tyre on the market is the Goodyear Eagle F1, no question. Check out the tyre tests from Autocar or AutoBild. (unless you can find some old stock Bridgestone S0-2 in your size, they were amazing!! New SO-3 are pants compared) I have had both, but the Bridgestones wore out too quick so stuck with the Goodyear Eagle F1.

For something less sporty try the new Goodyear Hydragrip. Just fitted these to my missus' car, grip well and really clear the water making them superb in the wet. She does so many miles, we tend to get a new set for winter and summer!

Whatever you do, do not fit el cheapo specials - all tyres are NOT the same, despite what some tyre dealers will tell you.

Well, you can improve your car's capacities as well, so there's 2 ways of achieving the same...

What I meant was "The 225/45 ZR17 Yokohama AVS sport tyres fitted to my car offer a high level of grip in both wet and dry conditions"

Sorry for any confusion

225s?! what the hell do you drive? an M3 has only 235s (a fact i'm not proud of knowing )

I run Michelen Pilot Exalto (or something like that anyway) on my Turbo Brick and they are great. Last reasonably well, and stick very well.

2.0 Honda Accord Sport, perhaps a touch overtyred with only 155PS

your always going to spin up a clio cup no matter what tyres you put on

Thanks for all your help everyone :P
Been looking around for the brands you suggested but can't seem to find them in my car's size

Mind you I'd probably be better looking in tyre centres than on the net
I don't really want to spend much more than £50 a tyre because I will have to replace all 4 before the MOT at the end of this month

[fizzwheel]

I had a 1.4 Nova SR with those sort of size tyres. I had some Michellin's on it but it was years ago they always seemed to work OK and they were about £60 quid a tyre.

Not much help am I
