Other than me, no

if i could get a kumho ku31 flag id walk the streets with it

 

[Locky]

I would fit 195/50/15 on instead You get more tyre choice.

I get toyo T1-R in that size for the front of my mr2. I think they were about £60 each last time I had new ones. They do a great job and last me ages (probably as its RWD). Apparently they are quite soft and don't last long, but they stick well.

 

[Defcon5]

Oooh, £47.50, that's me sorted, thanks.

But then again T1-Rs are £28

KU31 in 195/50/15

Edit:
Oooh, actually, there's Vredestein QUATRAC 3, SPORTRAC 3 and HI TRAC tyres at a pretty attractive price, are these any good? Design by Giugiaro leaves me somewhat sceptical...

The sportrac 3s get very good reviews, i had them on the mondeo and they were very good. the hi tracs are an older version. the quatrac are all season tyres.

Falken 452's? Do they come in 15's? Fairly cheap and very good tyre. As good as my Toyos I had on before.

Bridgestone F1 racing slicks, keep some intermediates in the boot in case of a shower as they go a long way before you need full wets.

A few months back someone posted a magazine review which rated the Hankook V12s (Autobahn Tyre Test 2009?) , so I gave them a shot and in my opinion anyway they are a very good tyre ( like night and day compared to the horrid P3000s I Had)

 

[Matt82]

arnt they the ones called VENTUS PRIME?

anything thats named after optimus prime is going to be a winner in my book

That's the S1, can you get them in this size? Look a good tyre though

If you go for 195/50/15 you will get Toyo Proxes T1-R for <£30 a corner.

 

[Joshy]

But then again T1-Rs are £28

But they aren't nearly as good...

 

[Janesy B]

But they aren't nearly as good...

Floppy side walls and a very high wear rate.

Floppy side walls and a very high wear rate.

I'm not staying that they are a crap tyre because they aren't. They are actually very good for the Ditchfinder like price, but they certainly aren't in the same league as F1s.

I wish I still could get premium tyres for £47.50 per corner

Imagine not getting what you paid for. That would be like... illegal or something.
